             Project: Shindig
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PHP
    Affects Versions: 1.1-BETA5
         Environment: Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (Lucid), Apache2, PHP5 (v. 5.3.3.0; 
Suhosin 0.9; Zend Engine 2.3.0)
            Reporter: Gabriel K.
            Priority: Blocker


Hello,

I am totally new in using Shindig. I decided to use the PHP-Kit for my first 
install of "shindig-1.1-BETA5-incubating-php.tar.bz2". After giving the install 
a try - I was left totally disappointed. I have done the setup as described in 
README of the tar-Package. It didn't run out of the box - after fixing some 
values in container.php I was able to get "any" result by calling the 
todo-example (Url 
"http://localhost:8090/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml";).

There are still too much errors to use this in production. The Todo-example has 
thrown out something "yellow" looking somehow like what I should have to 
expect. But totally unfunctional and with this PHP-error:

---------
Notice: Undefined index: opensocial in 
/srv/www/default/htdocs/shindig-1.1/src/gadgets/GadgetFeatureRegistry.php on 
line 107 Notice: Undefined index: dynamic-height.util in 
/srv/www/default/htdocs/shindig-1.1/src/gadgets/GadgetFeatureRegistry.php on 
line 107
---------

I also gave some other Gadgets a try - most of them were throwing out 
XML-Errors, Error-Backtraces or just a blank page.

For me as PHP-developer this experience was realy disappointing as nothing 
worked as it should do for a first try in a new project. Bevore trying version 
1.1 of shindig I gave version 1.0 (which I expected to be more stable?!) a try. 
But there was a namespace conflict for the "Class Locale" with PHP5.

After this experience with the PHP-Version I wanted to give the java version a 
try using tomcat. But I am not really experienced in setting up a tomcat 
environment and failed there, too.

I have been reading about the social-community project "MeinVZ" 
(http://www.chabotc.com/linux/getting-the-most-performance-out-of-php-shindig/) 
using shindig for their community. Well I am totally confused how this software 
can run in production enviroment. On MeinVz.de it does to run well - but on my 
local test-enviroment there is running well.

I would be glad to get any help on how to get Shinding running on PHP. I 
believe there must be any bug in the Download-Package 
"shindig-1.1-BETA5-incubating-php.tar.bz2" too or there is missing any 
instruction in the README for setup.

Best regards
Gabriel
