[FIX] Z-Push with lighttpd

[Xandrian]

Hi,

I am using Z-Push on a Webserver with Lighttpd and with no Apache. So PHP is not running as module. I am using the fast-cgi support from lighty. Here are my modifications:

lighttpd-func.php

Code: Select all

<?php
function apache_request_headers()
{
    $headers = array();

    foreach(array_keys($_SERVER) as $skey)
    {
        if(substr($skey, 0, 5) == "HTTP_")
        {
            $headername = str_replace(" ", "-", ucwords(strtolower(str_replace("_", " ", substr($skey, 0, 5)))));
            $headers[$headername] = $_SERVER[$skey];
        }
    }

    return $headers;
}
?>

The function "apache_request_headers" is only available if you are using an Apache with PHP as module. So I have to create an own function...

After you have created the file with the function you should include it on the top of the index.php-file

Code: Select all

include_once("lighttpd-func.php");

I included this line before the include of the config-file.

And at the end here's the rewrite rule

Code: Select all

  alias.url += (
    "/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" => "/var/www/z-push/index.php",
  )


Hava a lot of fun...

cu tb.

cool!

But you can also generate this function dynamicly in PHP when it doesn't exists.

Code: Select all

if (!function_exists("apache_request_headers")){
  function apache_request_headers()
  {
    // here your function
  }
}

The function apache_request_headers should be added to compat.php.
compat.php is for implementing functions that are not available in all versions of php.
Just add the implementation posted in the following if statement:

Code: Select all

if (!function_exists("apache_request_headers")) {

Hi,

If you have a look at the description of apache_request_headers(), wouldn't it be enough to use $_ENV for accessing the needed values?

HAND,

Could please someone add this patch to Z-Push! With the patch z-push works fine on my lighttpd, but i dont want to patch z-push by hand every time.

[skummer]

No, that will not be commited.
But you could easily add the code above to the end of your config.php. Then you don't have to patch your system at all (as the config file has to be changed/copied) anyway between the updates.

But anyway, the topic is "sticky" now.

note that the code pasted above didn't work. so i fixed and improved it a little.

here's the code with test, you can compare running it under apache/lighttpd.

Code: Select all

<?
if (!function_exists("apache_request_headers")) {
    function apache_request_headers() {
        $headers = array();
        foreach ($_SERVER as $key => $value) {
            if (substr($key, 0, 5) != 'HTTP_') {
                continue;
            }
            $headername = strtr(ucwords(strtolower(strtr(substr($key, 5), '_', ' '))), ' ', '-');
            $headers[$headername] = $value;
        }

        return $headers;
    }
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r(apache_request_headers());
echo "</pre>";


or just download it: http://glen.alkohol.ee/pld/apache_reque ... rs.php.txt

also if z-push maintainers wish to include it, then here's it also in patch(1) format:
http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb ... ders.patch

[grimble]

No, that will not be commited.

Hi,

I cannot understand your decision. This patch makes z-push compatible with every CGI supporting web serwer (apache, lighhtpd, nginx). I would even suggest removing apache_request_headers() function call because it's usefull only on Apache.

Could you please supply arguments that lead you to that decision?

regards,

Bartek

Hi,

thanks for the fix ... I use lighttpd too and had the same problem.
Please include this in compat.php as suggested.

Brgds,
Jens

hi,

not this is not only an issue with lighttp but also with apache (!) using

• suphp (means php-cgi)
• fastcgi/fcgi (also php-cgi)

i would go the way to abandon the use of any sotware-specific method.

please provide reasons if you're not fixing this issue

cheers,
