[en] Installing SilverStripe on IIS server

Napisał(a) Grzegorz o 6:39 w kategorii English, Informatyka

UPDATE 2009-02-17: As Sigurd from SilverStripe team states in a comment, You shouldn’t need to follow my “howto” - at least if You’re using IIS 7. Since I wrote this “howto”, SilverStripe website has been improved to include installation instructions on IIS so please give it a try before proceeding with my old instructions.

1. Install ISAPI/Rewrite. I have no idea how to do it since it was already installed at my provider’s server, but there probably is a limited free version that is enough.
2. Download SilverStripe archive and extract it to Your server.
3. Go to Your server’s URL and fill in installer details as usual.
4. After rewritetest fails, create httpd.ini file in SilverStripe root directory and make its contents like that (what it basically does with ISAPI/Rewrite is to mimic Apache’s mod_rewrite):

[ISAPI_Rewrite] RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond URL (?!.*gif|.*jpg|.*png|.*swf|.*xml|.*css|.*flv|.*js|.*php).*
RewriteCond URL (?!.*\?).*
RewriteRule (.*) /sapphire/main.php\?url=$1 [I,L]

RewriteCond URL (?!.*gif|.*jpg|.*png|.*swf|.*xml|.*css|.*flv|.*js|.*php).*
RewriteCond URL .*\?.*
RewriteRule (.*)\?(.*) /sapphire/main.php\?url=$1&$2 [I,L]

5. Click “click here to proceed anyway” link and You should be redirected to an ugly looking “successfully installed” page.
6. Now edit /sapphire/core/control/Director.php file and change

$s = (isset($_SERVER[’SSL’]) || isset($_SERVER[’HTTPS’])) ? ’s’ : ”;

line to

$s = (isset($_SERVER[’SSL’]) || (isset($_SERVER[’HTTPS’]) && $_SERVER[’HTTPS’] == ‘on’)) ? ’s’ : ”;

7. Refresh the “successfully installed” page and if it looks pretty now, You know You correctly did step 6.
8. Click “Click here to delete the install files.” link so You don’t have a security hole.
9. Now edit /sapphire/main.php file and at the very beginning add these lines:

if (!isset($_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’])) {
$_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’] = $_SERVER[’SCRIPT_NAME’];
}

10. Following are hacks I needed to add so i18n works on IIS. If You don’t use i18n, You’ll probably be fine without these hacks. This method is in sapphire/core/i18n.php file:

protected static function get_owner_module($name) {
if (substr($name,-3) == ‘.ss’) {
global $_TEMPLATE_MANIFEST;
$path = current($_TEMPLATE_MANIFEST[substr($name,0,-3)]);
// hacks for IIS start –>
$path = str_replace(’\sapphire/..’, ”, $path);
$path = str_replace(’C:’, ”, $path);
$path = str_replace(’\', ‘/’, $path);
$bf = Director::baseFolder();
$bf = str_replace(’C:’, ”, $bf);
$bf = str_replace(’\', ‘/’, $bf);
// <– end hacks
ereg($bf . ‘/([^/]+)/’,$path,$module);
} else {
global $_CLASS_MANIFEST;
$path = $_CLASS_MANIFEST[$name];
// hacks for IIS start –>
$path = str_replace(’\sapphire/..’, ”, $path);
$path = str_replace(’C:’, ”, $path);
$path = str_replace(’\', ‘/’, $path);
$bf = Director::baseFolder();
$bf = str_replace(’C:’, ”, $bf);
$bf = str_replace(’\', ‘/’, $bf);
// <– end hacks
ereg($bf . ‘/([^/]+)/’,$path,$module);
}
return $module[1];
}

11. Enjoy :)
12. If You can’t enjoy for some reason, try checking out this thread at SilverStripe forum where most of the above info is found.

    Hi:
    I use this manual and it wotks fine, but i change httpd.ini to:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.gif)|(.jpg)|(.png)|(.css)|(.js)|(.php)$
    RewriteCond URL (?!.?).
    RewriteRule (.*) /sapphire/main.php?url=$1 [I,L]

    because, with the your configuration SS can´t read the css files and image paths.

    My problem is that i can´t access to administration, it says:

    FATAL ERROR: None of these templates can be found: Security_dologin.ss, Security.ss
    At line 68 in C:InetpubwwwrootsapphirecoreSSViewer.php

    Anybody has the same problem?

    Note that if you are running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and IIS v7 then you shouldn’t need to make code changes and you can use the free URL Rewriter that Microsoft provides.
