PGA Installation Steps (Tested on OS X)

[Sneha Tilak]

Hi dev,

FYI.

The PGA repository can be found at https://github.com/apache/
airavata-php-gateway

Install apache, php, php-mcrypt, and composer using homebrew.
Note: the apache installed through homebrew will run on port 8080 and will
be completely separate rom the built-in apache server that comes with macOS.

   brew install homebrew/apache/httpd24
   brew install homebrew/php/php54 --with-httpd24
   brew install homebrew/php/php54-mcrypt
   brew install composer

In /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/httpd.conf make sure the following line is
added

   LoadModule php5_module    /usr/local/opt/php54/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Then also add

   <IfModule php5_module>
   Include /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/extra/httpd-php.conf
   </IfModule>

Now create the file /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/extra/httpd-php.conf
(See http://php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php)

   <FilesMatch \.php$>
   SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
   </FilesMatch>

Create a file in /usr/local/var/www/htdocs/test.php

   <?php

   phpinfo();

   ?>

Then restart apache

   apachectl restart

Now you should see the phpinfo test page at http://localhost:8080/test.php

Enable the rewrite module by uncommenting this line in
/usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/httpd.conf

   LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so

Create the following file: /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/extra/httpd-pga.conf

   <VirtualHost *:8080>
     DocumentRoot /Users/machrist/Documents/Airavata/airavata-php-gateway/
public/
     <Directory "/Users/machrist/Documents/Airavata/airavata-php-gateway/
public/">
       DirectoryIndex index.php
       AllowOverride All
       Require all granted
     </Directory>
   </VirtualHost>

(Optional) NOTE: instead of `*:8080` you can specify a hostname, like
`pga.local` and then
just make sure to add to your /etc/hosts file:

   127.0.0.1   pga.local

Add the following line to /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/httpd.conf

   Include /usr/local/etc/apache2/2.4/extra/httpd-pga.conf

Restart apache

   apachectl restart

Other configuration Increase the TTL of the SOAP wsdl cache. Change the
default 1 day TTL value to something much larger in
/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini, for example, 10 days:

   soap.wsdl_cache_ttl=864000

Set the timezone in the php.ini file too.
