problems with phpannodex

Submitted by Ken Yap on Wed, 08/01/2007 - 12:18.

A couple of problems with the trunk version of phpannodex:

You need -lannodex in the link command for the shared library otherwise
annodex.so is not noted as a dependency and Apache will not load it when
phpannodex.so is loaded by mod_php. I solved it by hacking Makefile to
add -lannodex to EXTRA_LDFLAGS.

phpannodex uses a function called object_to_head. This does not seem to
exist (anymore) in libannodex or any of the other libraries. This is a
showstopper. I don't know what to do with this. Presumably phpannodex
needs to be rewritten.

(Mailed to module developer also.)

Extension for drupal module "Acidfree"

Submitted by silvia on Thu, 05/04/2006 - 21:05.

Chris Ford implemented Anode, which allows the Acidfree Drupal module to manage Annodexes using phpannodex. Acidfree is a module written by Vernon Maurey for managing digital photos and videos.

Anode stores information about CMML clips in the Drupal database, and then inserts them into Ogg Theora files on a browser's request to create Annodexes. Authorized users are able to edit or add new clips.

System Requirements

phpannodex requires:

  • PHP 5.0.5
  • Apache 2.0.55
  • libannodex
  • phpannodex 0.4

Installing

phpannodex-cgi is a handler for requests for Annodex files. For the cgi to work correctly, Apache must know to use it to respond to requests from ".anx" files.

  • Copy "phpannodex-cgi.conf" into Apache's "conf.d" directory,
    probably "/etc/apache2/conf.d/".

  • Copy "nph-phpannodex-cgi.php" into your cgi-bin directory.
  • Restart Apache

Requests for ".anx" files should now be answered by the cgi.
