This directory contains a PHP/HTML implementation of the Ice hello client.
Follow these steps to install the demo:
-
Install the Ice extension and run-time files as described in the manual. Restart the Web server if necessary.
-
Install the following files in your Web server's document directory:
- client.php (or client_ns.php, if using PHP namespaces)
- Hello.php
The file Hello.php is generated from Hello.ice when you run make or nmake in this directory. Verify that the files have appropriate access rights.
-
You may need to edit client.php so that the script is able to include the Ice run time files. For example, if you installed Ice in C:\Ice, add a call to ini_set as shown below:
-
In a command window on the Web server host, start a hello server. You can use a server from any Ice language mapping.
-
Start a Web browser and open the client page to begin using the demo. Note that support for secure invocations via SSL are disabled by default. If you have configured SSL for the Ice extension, edit client.php and set the have_ssl variable to true.
SELinux augments the traditional Unix permissions with a number of new features. In particular, SELinux can prevent the httpd daemon from opening network connections and reading files without the proper SELinux types.
If you suspect that your IcePHP application does not work due to SELinux restrictions, we recommend that you first try it with SELinux disabled. As root, run:
to disable SELinux until the next reboot of your computer.
If you want to run httpd with IcePHP and SELinux enabled, you must do the following:
-
Allow httpd to open network connections:
(add the -P option to make this setting persistent across reboots)
-
Make sure any .php file used by your application can be read by httpd. The enclosing directory also needs to be accessible. For example:
