PHP FastCGI with Nginx? The answer: PHP-FPM server

Do you still use spawn-fcgi with Nginx? It's time to consider PHP-FPM.

PHP in the form in which it is available from php.net has a number of well-known issues associated with the use of the FastCGI SAPI in production. See this comparison chart of problems and how php-fpm handles them, when enabled with the FastCGI SAPI.

Features available only in PHP-FPM:

Buttons and Plugin changes don't seem to matter

Sorry for duplication this issue, but I didn't get a response on #drupal-wysiwyg.

I have just installed wysiwyg-5.x-2.x-dev under d5.19 including jquery_update-5.x-2.0 (copied jquery.js to /misc). Then added Tinymce to /sites/all/libraries.

When I enable wysiwyg and create a new page, the editor comes up with a default tool bar.

When I edit admin/settings/wysiwyg/profile the tool bar doesn't change.

I couldn't find out, if this is an issue already. Please advise.

Separate core/module Configuration and Content = Staging/Configuration APIs

For the Drupal sites I am working on I have a setup using three different stages:

  1. R&D site - This one is for both testing contributed modules and my own development.
  2. Staging - A virtual copy of the live site to make sure that the things from the R&D site will work. Also used for testing updates/upgrades to core and contributed modules before they go live.
  3. Live site - Simply the live public site where all ends up after passing the two above.

Can I use an install profile to update an existing site?

This is a re-write of my drupal.org forum post at http://drupal.org/node/424154 . I figure it would be better discussed here.

How do I get configuration updates out to "pre-configured" sites? I'm currently using install profiles to "pre-configure" drupal sites, but they offer no way to "update" the profile on an existing site when a new version is released.

Can't add content to panels (content popups disappear when + sign button is clicked)

I recently moved to a new server and now I can't add or edit content within panels. The modal popup windows have stopped functioning.

Here's what happens:

  1. I go to the content tab of a panel and click a Plus sign button to add some content to a panel.
  2. The popular appears, empty for about 2 seconds.
  3. It disappears.

None of the form info that's supposed to show up in there shows up in there.

What could be causing this and how do I fix it? Thanks.

Effectiveness of install profiles?

Having worked recently on install profiles with the Filmforge project and the install_profile_wizard module, I am becoming less and less confident in their effectiveness. There are three key issues that need to be adressed IMO.

First, install profiles are currently prone to failure when you have different versions of modules. Install profiles should be able to list the version (update) number of each module currently installed, in order to be able to make the necessary updates during the install.

Regarding configuration control and versioning

One of my partners, Arthur (arthurf), just posted this to one of our internal lists. Since we were talking about it (how to track configuration changes if you work on a staging site) last night, i figured i would pass it along:
