I use Codeigniter framework , and you know when I try to load a config file then use it
I do something like that :
$this->load->config('myconfig', TRUE);
myconfig.php file is located inside application folder ( application/config/myconfig.php)
and use it like this :
$this->config->item('get_item', 'myconfig')
My question is : how can I change the location of myconfig file and use it properly ?
I want to put the config file(s) in out folder like this :
mysite -> system(folder)
mysite -> user_guide(folder)
mysite -> myConfigFiles(folder)
mysite -> myConfigFiles(folder) / myconfig.php
I need to do something like this :
$this->load->config(base_url.'myConfigFiles/myconfig', TRUE);
any help ?
Yes - it is possible to do this. The loader will accept ../../relative/paths. You can use a path relative from the default config directory (an absolute path will not work).
So let's say you have this structure (had a hard time following your description):
mysite
application
config <-- default directory
system
myConfigFiles
myconfig.php
You can just do this:
$this->load->config('../../myConfigFiles/myconfig', TRUE);
This works for pretty much everything - views, libraries, models, etc.
Note that with the introduction of the ENVIRONMENT constant in version 2.0.1, you can automatically check for config files within the config directory in another directory that matches the name of the current environment. This is really intended to be a convenience method for loading different files depending on if you are in production or development. I'm not 100% sure what your goals are, but this additional knowledge may also help you achieve them, or it may be totally irrelevant.
Really not sure WHY you would want to do this (and I wouldn't recommend it), but since all config files are is regular PHP files you can put a config file in the standard location that loads your extra config files. As an example:
mysite -> application -> config -> myconfigloader.php
then in myconfigloader.php put this:
<?php
require_once(APPPATH.'../myConfigFiles/myconfig.php');
So once you do
$this->load->config('myconfigloader', TRUE);
It will load everything in your myconfig.php file. Let me know if that works for you.

Hey I got to know how to check properties in config server i.e. http://{Config server URL}:{Port}/{ServiceID}/{Profile}
Right now I am facing a problem where I've to read multiple properties file from cloud config server. Ex: Right now I've to read properties file(huge file) from a single property file i.e. employee.properties
I don't want huge list of properties file in single folder. like
employee-dev.properties
employee-dit.properties
employee-sit.properties
employee-uat.properties
employee-preprod.properties
employee-prod.properties
customers-dev.properties
customers-dit.properties
customers-sit.properties
customers-uat.properties
customers-preprod.properties
customers-prod.properties
.
.
.
and soo on.
My requirement is I need to maitain a list of properties file and config server will provide me these values. like :
**{env}/employee.properties**
**{env}/customers.properties**
Here env could be any environment like dit, sit, prod etc.
Hope I'll get answer here.
If you don't want to have all properties files in an only folder, so you need to add this configuration on config server properties file.
1. Match all options
spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations = [classpath:/, classpath:/config, classpath:/config/{application}, classpath:/config/{application}/{profile}]
2. Match only /application-name/application-name-profile.properties
spring.cloud.config.server.native.searchLocations = classpath:config/{application}
Then you'll have matched based on application name folder for example.
resources/config/application-name/application-name-properties.
I'm working on a capistrano deployment configuration and would like to set the shared folder on another place. Background is, that I want to use a wildcard deployment (review app) and the target directory will be generated on-the-fly (which means, there isn't a shared folder in it) and I would use the shared folder with the assets across ALL review apps in this environment.
Therefore I have directories on the server:
/var/www/review/application_name
/var/www/review/application_name/shared/... (here are the assets and configurations I would like to share across ALL review apps)
/var/www/review/application_name/branch-name/ - this is the deployment path which will be created by capistrano when deploying a specific branch to the review stage.
I have used shared_path
set :shared_path, "/var/www/review/#{fetch(:application)}"
which works fine for the linked_dirs, but NOT for the linked_files. I get the error message:
00:01 deploy:check:linked_files
ERROR linked file /var/www/review/www.app.tld/123/shared/myfile does not exist on review.app.tld
which is true - but I don't know how to tell cap to put it in place. Of course the named file is in the shared folder
/var/www/review/www.app.tld/shared/
but capistrano seems to search on the wrong place when trying to check the linked_files (again: the linked_dirs are processed correct).
Any hints? Thanks in advance!
The shared_path is not something you can configure directly. Using set will not have any effect.
The shared path in Capistrano is always a directory named shared inside your :deploy_to location. Therefore if you want to change the shared path, you must set :deploy_to, like so:
set :deploy_to, -> { "/var/www/review/#{fetch(:application)}" }
This will effectively cause shared_path to become:
"/var/www/review/#{fetch(:application)}/shared"
Keep in mind that :deploy_to is used as the base directory for many things: releases, repo, current, etc. So if you change :deploy_to you will affect all of them.
If your :application variable is defined at some later point, or changed, you'll need to set to a deferred variable:
set :shared_path, -> { "/var/www/review/#{fetch(:application)}" }
This evaluates that string on-demand instead of in advance.
I have a Django 1.4 project, running on Python 2.7 in which I'm using Dajaxice 0.5.4.1. I have set it up on my development machine (Windows 7) and everything works perfectly. However when I deploy my app to production server (Ubuntu 12.04) I get 404 error for dajaxice.core.js file and cannot resolve this problem no matter what. Production server works with exactly the same versions of all software.
My project structure looks like this:
/myproject
/myproject/myproject-static/ <-- all the static files are here
/myproject/myproject-static/css/
/myproject/myproject-static/img/
/myproject/myproject-static/js/
/myproject/templates/
/myproject/myproject/
/myproject/main/
/myproject/app1/
/myproject/app2/
/myproject/app3/
etc.
I was following the Dajaxice installation steps here and put everything in its place (in settings.py, ˙urls.pyandbase.html` files).
My settings.py file has also these values:
from unipath import Path
PROJECT_ROOT = Path(__file__).ancestor(3)
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/myproject-static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
PROJECT_ROOT.child('myproject-static'),
)
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
'dajaxice.finders.DajaxiceFinder',
)
DAJAXICE_MEDIA_PREFIX = "dajaxice"
DAJAXICE_DEBUG = True
I have an Alias directive in my django.conf file which looks like this:
Alias /myproject-static/ "/path/to/myproject/myproject-static/"
I did collectstatic on my production server and got all static files collected within few folders in the root of my project. So, now when I look at my deployed web site, I can see that CSS is properly applied, JavaScript is working fine and navigation around the site works as intended. Everything is fine except Ajax is totally broken since dajaxice.core.js is never included.
My project folder structure after collecting static looks like this:
/myproject
/myproject/myproject-static/ <-- all the static files are originally here
/myproject/myproject-static/css/
/myproject/myproject-static/img/
/myproject/myproject-static/js/
/myproject/templates/
/myproject/admin/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/css/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/dajaxice/ <-- dajaxice.core.js is located here
/myproject/django_extensions/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/img/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/js/ <-- folder created with 'collectstatic' command
/myproject/myproject/
/myproject/main/
/myproject/app1/
/myproject/app2/
/myproject/app3/
etc.
Am I doing something completely wrong with my static files here?
What else should I try to fix this simple error?
Have you check if as the rest of the assets, dajaxice.core.js is inside your static/dajaxice folder? If not, the issue could be related with a miss configuration of the STATICFILES_FINDERS, check Installing dajaxice again
Another usual issue with collectstatic and dajaxice is to run the first using --link Are you using this option?
Hope this helps
I spend several hours grappling with this problem. It was crazy because everything worked great on my dev environment, but not on the test server even though all the dajax and dajaxice settings were on a common base settings file. I never got it to work using the standard route. But this is a very easy fix:
1) Download dajaxice.core.js into whatever static directory pleases you. You can find the js in your the dajaxice directory in your project root:
project/dajaxice/dajaxice.core.js
In my case, I put the file in static/js alongside all my other js libraries.
2) On your web page, replace this:
{% dajaxice_js_import %}
with a normal, everyday link to the js library. In my case:
<script src="/static/js/dajaxice.core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Unfortunately, this patch only works for developed code. If you usedo it in the development environment, new dajaxice code will be registered in the original project/dajaxice/ location and so the file will have to be copied to static after any new code is developed.
I develop Firefox extension with bundled executable file which should be run on browser startup.
To run process I need get nsIFile or nsILocalFile instance which points to executable file.
I know one solution how to get it using directory service:
var file = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIProperties).get("ProfD", Components.interfaces.nsIFile);
file.append("extensions");
file.append("<extension id>");
file.append("<relative path>");
But this solution has two disadvantages:
It doesn't work in development mode, when instead of installed extension I have only text file with real extension path
I'm not sure that it will work on all Firefox configurations because of hardcoded "extensions" part of the path
So is there any nicer way to run executable file which comes with Firefox extension?
Thanks.
You are making way too many assumptions about the directory structure of the Firefox profile - don't. The Add-on Manager API lets you get the path of a file inside the extension, you should use it:
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");
AddonManager.getAddonByID("<extension id>", function(addon)
{
var uri = addon.getResourceURI("<relative path>");
var file = uri.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIFileURL).file;
...
});
A restartless addon's startup function (in the bootstrap.js file) will receive, as its first parameter, the path where the addon is installed. You can then play various tricks to read files inside the .jar file, if any: see https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/blob/master/bootstrap.js#L55 as an example.
In a non-restartless case, I must confess I don't have much of an idea :).
I found this thread looking for a way to reference a path to an image hosted in extension's directory from a content script. Here's a solution:
Include your files in web_accessible_resources in the extension's manifest.
"web_accessible_resources": [
"images/*"
]
Absolute paths to these resources contain randomly generated UUID, therefore we're using runtime.getUrl() giving it the path relative to manifest.json. Example:
let myImg = document.createElement('img');
myImg.src = browser.runtime.getURL("images/my-img.png")
Because of deployment constraints, I would like to have the log and cache directories used by my Symfony2 application somewhere under /var/... in my file system. For this reason, I am looking for a way to configure Symfony and to override the default location for these two directories.
I have seen the kernel.cache_dir and kernel.log_dir and read the class Kernel.php. From what I have seen, I don't think that it is possible to change the dir locations by configuration and I would have to patch the Kernel.php class.
Is that true, or is there a way to achieve what I want without modifying the framework code?
Add the following methods to app/AppKernel.php (AppKernel extends Kernel) making them return your preferred paths:
public function getCacheDir()
{
return $this->rootDir . '/my_cache/' . $this->environment;
}
public function getLogDir()
{
return $this->rootDir . '/my_logs';
}
I was happy to find your post, but I was a little bit confused of the unhelping answers.
I got the same problem and found out that the logs are depending on the config parameter
kernel.logs_dir.
So I just added it to my config.yml parameters:
kernel.logs_dir: /var/log/symfonyLogs
I hope it will helpfull for you even, if its a late answer.
i think the easiest way is to link the folder to another place. We have made this on the prod server but when you develop local perhaps on windows its a bit complicated to set the symlinks.
ln -s /var/cache/ /var/www/project/app/cache
something like this.
I would like to offer an alternative and that is to set environment variables to change these directories. This way it's easier to set depending on the stage. (testing, production or development)
export SYMFONY__KERNEL__CACHE_DIR "/your/directory/cache"
export SYMFONY__KERNEL__LOGS_DIR "/your/directory/logs"
Environment variables can also be set in the virtual host with SetEnv.
When reading kernel parameters symfony will look for all the $_SERVER variables that start with SYMFONY__, strip the first part and convert all the double underscores into a .

See line 568 to 608
In symfony you can override the cache (and logs) directory by extending the method in AppKernel.
// app/appKernel.php
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
// ...
public function getCacheDir()
{
return $this->rootDir.'/'.$this->environment.'/cache';
}
}
Check out http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/override_dir_structure.html#override-cache-dir
I used the configuration solution from Dragnic but I put the paths in the parameters.yml file because this file is ignored by git. in other words, it's not synchronized from my PC to the git repository so there is no impact in the prod environment.
# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
database_driver: pdo_mysql
[...]
kernel.cache_dir: "T:/project/cache"
kernel.logs_dir: "T:/project/logs"
Configuration: Windows7, WAMP 2.4 and Symfony 2.3.20.
But you have to know that:
Overwriting the kernel.cache_dir parameter from your config file is a very bad idea, and not a supported way to change the cache folder in Symfony.
It breaks things because you would now have different cache folders for the kernel Kernel::getCacheDir() and for the parameter.
Source: https://github.com/symfony/AsseticBundle/issues/370
So you should use it only in dev environment and if you don't want to change the content of the app/AppKernel.php file, otherwise see the other answers.
No accepted answer, and a really old question, but I found it with google, so I post here a more recent way to change the cache directory, and the logs directory, (source here)
remember, short syntax for arrays require php 5.4
you can select the env to modify, and manage different cache and logs directories if you want
public function getCacheDir()
{
if (in_array($this->environment, ['prod', 'test'])) {
return '/tmp/cache/' . $this->environment;
}
return parent::getCacheDir();
}
public function getLogDir()
{
if (in_array($this->environment, ['prod', 'test'])) {
return '/var/log/symfony/logs';
}
return parent::getLogDir();
}
