PHP 5 applications can be deployed on the Stax Cloud using the Caucho Quercus PHP engine for Java.

You can create PHP-enabled Java applications for Stax using the quercus application template. 

# stax create -t quercus APPID

After creating your application, PHP files can be placed directly into the application's webapp folder.


Drupal on Stax

Create a new Stax project using the quercus PHP application template 

# stax create -t quercus drupal

Create a MySQL database for your Drupal site 

# stax db:create DB_NAME -u USER -p PASS

Unzip the Drupal installation into your application webapp folder 

# curl -L http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/drupal-6.2.tar.gz | tar xzv
# cp drupal-6.2/* drupal/webapp

Run the application locally 

# stax run

Connect to the local instance by navigating to http://localhost:8080 and following the instructions for configuring Drupal to connect to your Stax Database (use the advanced option to set the path to the remote database server).

After setup is complete, deploy the Drupal site to Stax:

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/index.php/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Run the application locally
