2. Fill Source Code text field: https://github.com/laobubu/openshift-php5.5-cgi-apache.git
3. Click Create Application and wait
4. After creating the app, visit your app (e.g. https://foo-bar.rhcloud.com/ )
5. Click the last link.
6. Wait for ~1 hour and then PHP will be ready.
7. Git clone your OpenShift App and modify.

1. Push the content of this repo to your OpenShift. (Read Tips if you are using Windows)
2. Access your app's URL like https://foo-bar.rhcloud.com
3. Click the Link.
4. Wait (Yes! It's slow!!!) , or do anything you want.

1. Push the content of this repo to your OpenShift. (Read Tips if you are using Windows)
2. Access SSH and Run chmod +x ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/misc/make.sh && nohup ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/misc/make.sh > /tmp/makephp&
3. Give your family/friend a ring or watch a movie.
4. Do what you want.

• You can also choose other version of PHP by editing misc/make.sh before making.
• Once you modified conf/httpd.conf, you must reload your app, or run ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}/.openshift/action_hooks/reload, to make it works.
• If you are using Windows, the permission information might be lost. To avoid the problem, you can try this in Git Bash:

git clone https://github.com/laobubu/openshift-php5.5-cgi-apache.git --depth 1
cd openshift-php5.5-cgi-apache
git remote set-url origin ssh://[email protected]/xxxxxxx #replace this
git push origin -f
#since then, the repo is yours and do whatever you want.
