On last post I’ve wrote about howto install the google app SDK for PHP . Today I want to continue with simple testing.

How to run php script using google app engine on my Ubuntu 13.04 desktop :

1. Setting PATH to google app engine by edit .profile

$ cd
$ nano .profile

add this line :

PATH=”$HOME/google_appengine:$PATH”

save.

2. Export the PATH for current operation

$ export PATH=”$HOME/google_appengine:$PATH”
$ echo $PATH

”/home/alamsyah/google_appengine:/home/alamsyah/android-sdk-linux/tools:/home/alamsyah/android-sdk-linux/platforms:/home/alamsyah/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games”

3. Create testing directory

$ mkdir digitalfusi

4. Create php script

$ nano digitalfusi/index.php

put these lines :

<?php

echo “Hello world from rasyid.net <p>”;

phpinfo();

?>

save.

5. Create yaml file (configuration file).

$ nano digitalfusi/app.yaml

Put these lines :

application: digitalfusi
version: 1
runtime: php
api_version: 1

handlers:
– url: /.*
script: index.php

save. For full list of yaml option you can refer to this link.

6. Run the script

Google app engine need to know which php-cgi that work.

if you use php-cgi from ubuntu stock you can run the server using this command :

$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py –php_executable_path=/usr/bin/php-cgi digitalfusi

Using previous location of php-cgi :

$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py –php_executable_path=$HOME/php-5.4.22/installdir/bin/php-cgi digitalfusi
