New Post: How to install FPDF in Windows Azure

TiKaY — Tue, 14 May 2013 00:42:28 GMT

Hi,

I've been trying to install FPDF (fpdf.org) on Windows Azure. I have already succeeded with a local server (XAMPP) and everything works.

Now, when I try to install on Windows Azure using WebMatrix, nothing happens.

Here's what I've done :

I uploaded the FPDF files on the website folder. Then I created a main page (index.php) and wrote a simple example using FPDF.

<?php
require('../[FPDF folder]/fpdf.php');

$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output();
?>

I don't think that the code is wrong (I tested with my local server XAMPP and it worked), however maybe I forgot to configure something on the Windows Azure configuration page.

Someone suggested that I had to do stuff with the "App settings" in the configure page; however I have no idea what I should put there regarding FPDF.

Anyone knows how to fix my problem ?
Thanks!

Edit1 : The output should be a pdf, but I get a blank web page.

As mentioned on on the home page of this project, it has been deprecated in favor of the official SDK created by the Windows Azure team. It is available on Github at https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-php

This SDK has been deprecated in favor of the SDK released by Windows Azure at https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-sdk-for-php . As the Windows Azure API evolves this CodePlex project code will stop working. Please try using the new SDK and post an issue on Github if you have issues there also.

Another great resource is https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/php/

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
require_once "AzureBlobPhpUploader/bookMessage.php";

use WindowsAzure\Common\ServicesBuilder;
use WindowsAzure\Blob\Models\CreateContainerOptions;
use WindowsAzure\Blob\Models\PublicAccessType;
use WindowsAzure\Common\ServiceException;
use WindowsAzure\ServiceBus\Models\QueueInfo;
use WindowsAzure\Queue\QueueRestProxy;

{
    // Create blob REST proxy.
    $connectionString = "";
    $blobRestProxy = ServicesBuilder::getInstance()->createBlobService($connectionString);
    $createContainerOptions = new CreateContainerOptions();

    // Set public access policy. Possible values are
    // PublicAccessType::CONTAINER_AND_BLOBS and PublicAccessType::BLOBS_ONLY.
    // CONTAINER_AND_BLOBS: full public read access for container and blob data.
    // BLOBS_ONLY: public read access for blobs. Container data not available.
    // If this value is not specified, container data is private to the account owner.

        $content = fopen($filePath, "r");
        $blob_name = "pdfFile";

        $blobref = $blobRestProxy->createBlockBlob("books", $blob_name, $content);

        // Create Service Bus REST proxy.
        $createQueueOptions = new CreateQueueOptions();
        $messageQueue = $queueRestProxy->createQueue("booksQueue", $createQueueOptions);
        $queueRestProxy->createMessage($messageQueue, $msg);

    } catch(ServiceException $e){
        $code = $e->getCode();
        $error_message = $e->getMessage();
        echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";
    }
}

}

?>

I've downloaded and installed the library NTS on PHP 5.3 but I continue to receive "Call to undefined function azure_getconfig()"

Does it work to someone?

Thank you

I solved this issue doing just this 2 modifications :

1. MyWordpressFolder/ServiceDefinition.csef :

I added this node for the webrole :

<LocalResources>
        <LocalStorage name="<choose a name for your storage>" cleanOnRoleRecycle="false" sizeInMB="500" />
</LocalResources>

2. MyWordpressFolder/wp-config.php :

In case deployement (after the "else"), I added 2 lines

/* *******************************
 *** THESE SETTINGS ARE FOR DEPLOYMENT ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE
 ********************************
*/

/** Set UPLOADS path **/ 
define('BLOGUPLOADDIR', azure_getlocalresourcepath('<the name you have chosen previously for your storage')); 
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', BLOGUPLOADDIR);

Ater that, it works.... But now I have the same problem as @tonyw54 !

I guess this modification should be made before the WP DB is generated.

Currently, I have a single instance in staging deployment and another one in production deployment. Both connect to the same SQL Azure database. Everything seems to be working normally. I think I want to enjoy this feeling for a couple of days (and check if some other problem will come up) and then I'll start a second instance and see what happens.

That's good to know. I just deleted the entire db server and recreated it. This particular issue hasn't come up again for me.

And the issue has not come back up?

Just to let you know that I encountered the exact same problem. I tried all solutions suggested at the link above with no results (i.e. remove plugins and themes, new admin user, auto increment property, capabilities of users, etc). Finally, the only way forward was to export the data, drop the db, recreate it and import the data back.

I seem to remember that the problem appeared when I started a second web role instance, but it may be just a coincidence.

I have never seen this issue in WordPress before, but it sounds incredibly annoying and frustrating. You already tried the SQL script solution listed on the first post of that link?

tonyw54 — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 19:16:31 GMT

@blobaugh solution worked: I added this line to the bin/install-azure-impl.cmd file:

CALL icacls %RoleRoot% /grant "NETWORK SERVICE":F /T

This resolved the issue and I was able to write to blob storage after deployment. Now I can't add new posts, but that's another problem...

I installed php on azure a few days ago. Everything seemed to be fine, but I only have one post and now when I try to make another one I get the Submit for Review button in the Publish widget. When I click this or the Save Draft button I get:

Are you sure you want to do this?

Please try again.

Or if I click the Preview button I get:

You are not allowed to edit this post.

I'm not that familiar with wordpress or php, but the IIS logs look OK to me. Also, I can create and delete new users and update the single post I have. I'm only using a few MB's of the database. I was able to add new media, which wrote a record to the wp_posts table. Does anybody know what else I should look at? I'm not even sure what error logs might contain some clues, since I don't know much about the wordpress/php stuff.

@robert_g setup RDP and check your permissions, or you could alter the startup script to set the correct permissions for you

@KenStone Using drive F should not be a problem. All the scripts that do the setup should be using the local environment variables to map to the correct drive. This line

CALL icacls ..\wp-content /grant "NETWORK SERVICE":F /T

Should be in your bin/install-azure-impl.cmd file. It may be wiser to change it to use the %RoleRoot% variable to give everything there permissions. If you cannot see any other issue when you RDP in maybe try setting everything to have permissions. If that works then you know that you should update that line in the startup script

It also doesn't work when I leave out the WP_TEMP_DIR setting as well. I get the same error.

Welp. There is no E drive on mine. There is a F drive with the correct path.

So, how do I change the WordPress install to set that path to the F drive instead of the E drive?
