I was trying to create windows .exe file to install moodle local plugin.
Is this doable installing plugin with .exe file?
Appreciate your suggestions. Reference to documentation access!
Are you trying to install Moodle? There are packages available for installing Moodle on a Windows machine:
https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Complete_install_packages_for_Windows
Otherwise, using an exe to install a local plugin doesn't make any sense. You just need to copy the code to the local folder. Or unzip the code into a local folder.
Then either upgrade via your site yourmoodlesite/admin/ or use the command line:
php admin/cli/upgrade.php
See https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Administration_via_command_line#Upgrading

Thought this might help others. If you are running a headless VM it might not be immediately evident how to install liquibase. I was using a redhat linux box and wondering which command to try to install liquibase.
If you have access to another computer with a browser. Go to http://www.liquibase.org/download and copy the path to the liquibase zip file. Paste that path onto a wget command as in the example below
wget https://github.com/downloads/liquibase/liquibase/liquibase-2.0.5-bin.zip
unzip the zip file in the location of your choice such as ~/liquibase
Once you are done you will have to manually create your liquibase.properties file.
I'm new to working in a WAMP environment, in this case I'm using Easyphp, and I can't find how to execute php commands (like a simple php -v), like I would do for example when connecting to a server with SSH.
I have Easyphp installed, apache and mysql servers are on, and I created a virtual host using the module in the same folder where I'm trying to execute the php command (using the cmd tool in windows).
Is there any other way to do this? Is there a "console" just for that? Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT
OK maybe I should give a specific example of what I'm trying to do in case I didn't explain myself very well. I'm trying to follow this guide to getting started with Zend Framework, and in the very first step after downloading the files, it asks to "type" 2 commands:
php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install
Where do I exactly "type" those commands?
In windows you need to set up your path environment variable (if it hasn't already been done by the installer) so that it points to the correct location for the PHP executables. Refer to the documentation for EasyPHP to see if/how you need to do this.
Then, open a dos window, and cd into the directory for your project. Then you should be able to run the commands as shown.
I have a fresh install of Plone on a CentOS 5.6 server. I used the Unified Insatller and used ZEO ... I can't seem to find my "zinstance" folder. when I do a 'locate zinstance' it gives me the zinstance.sh within the installer it's self, no where else. . Any ideas?
If you installed with ZEO there will be no "zinstance" folder. Instead you'll find a "zeoserver" folder, and a "bin" folder with a bunch of scripts.
On linux the unified installer install to /usr/local/plone by default I believe.
I'm new to Zend Framework and i'm trying to do some tests on my local server. I use xampp on a Windows 7 pc.
So i downloaded the zend package who comes with a command line tool to setting up projects. Copied the folder with zf.sh on the hard-drive on the location C:\Program Files (x86)\ZendFrameworkCli\bin, than updated the system variables to make it work.
When i type in the command line "zf show version" i get an error by "php.exe". I guess this happens becouse php and apache are not installed on the OS but runs under xampp server.
So, there's any way to make it work with xampp? Thanx in advance.
You need to had the php executable path to you PATH variable. You can do this with the system icon in your configuration panel. You can also use a nice utility : RedmondPath ( http://sites.google.com/site/redmondlab/path)
After that, launch a command prompt and type php -v to make sure that all is correct.
I want to write application which uses Postgresql as DBMS.
To write client application do I need libpq library and header files?
If yes where I would get libpq library and header files.
Libpq is included in the full PostgreSQL source code. You can use just libpq without the rest of PostgreSQL, but must download the full package.
You can download it from the PostgreSQL Downloads page.
Once you extract the full package it is inside src\interfaces\libpq.
The PostgreSQL installation guide details how to install only the client libraries in the Installation section, under Client-only installation.
Libpq documentation is also available.
In postgresql sources, src\interfaces\libpq.
And yes, it is possible to compile only the libpq.
get the lipq from repo, {for debian} :
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
I was also facing this issue but didn't got a clear answer:
This issue clearly states that while installing diesel-cli system is not able to locate libpq.lib
First of all you should have a Postgres installed on your machine.
Also diesel require visual c++, thus download and install it if not already, the size of setup will be ~5gb.
Once above installations are done you need to setup environment variables:
In my case path of Postgres installation is C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL thus add 2 environment variable path under User variables add new in Path where your libpq.lib is located in my case it is available in both C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\lib and C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin
Once this is added create one more environment variable PQ_LIB_DIR and set path as shown below
Note: Once done re-trigger the installation command in a new cmd window
Source: pq-sys and github-solution
For Windows users, it's in (version may be different)
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\lib
There you find libpq.lib. Provide this directory to Linker input.
Don't forget to include C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\include directory for include directories.
I fix this problem reccently. This is a solution if you don't want to install Postgres in you windows.
At first, you need download Postgres Binaries. The version I download is 13.6, but it's seems like any version is fine.
Unzip the zip file.Copy libpq.lib from pgsql\lib to shomewhere like C:\Program Files\Postgres\lib.
Execute the following command in cmd window.
setx PQ_LIB_DIR "{where_you_copy_to}"
Open a new cmd windows and install diesel_cli
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres
In linux vertify you get the libpq.
1st, there is an app: pg_config: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgconfig.html
after you found out the pg_config absolute bin path.(if you installed multi version of postgressql) Then You can get
--includedir
Print the location of C header files of the client interfaces.
--libdir
Print the location of object code libraries.
Then try to compile/build some example code: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-example.html
Some common failure example: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-build.html
You can install Postgres locally from https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads but select only "Command line tools" for install.
After that, you can found libpq.dll in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\bin
