To get it all working in a subdomain I had to create a vhost.conf file in the subdomains/[subname]/conf/vhosts.conf file too. Here is the contents of mine. You’ll need to be root to create these files.

# less conf/vhost.conf
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/subdomains/staging/httpdocs>
php_admin_value open_basedir none
php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/vhosts/example.com/subdomains/staging/tmp
</Directory>

In the parent domain I also specify a path to pear

# less ../../conf/vhost.conf
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs>
php_admin_value open_basedir none
php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/vhosts/example.com/tmp
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/example.com/subdomains/staging/httpdocs>
php_admin_value open_basedir none
php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/vhosts/example.com/subdomains/staging/tmp
php_admin_value include_path ".:/usr/share/pear"
</Directory>

And then reconfigure both domains and restart apache.

#  /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=example.com
#  /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=staging.example.com
# /etc/init.d/httpd stop; /etc/init.d/httpd start

They mention adding PATH to ~/.bash_profile whereas on ssh ~/.bashrc is used. See here.

echo -e 'export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH\nexport PATH=${HOME}/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

        else:

And use it like this


time=datetime.now(AEastern_tzinfo())
print time

The owners of the Fishcakes, an architect designed house overlooking Seal Rocks beach front, invited us to stay. It is without doubt the most spectacular beach house we’ve ever visited. Although the building seems high and potentially exposed the design is such that its incredibly private while affording 180° views of the beach, ocean and bush.

Their website needed to convey that same sense of tranquility and relaxation that we experienced whilst there. A simple calendar, schedule of tariffs and contact form are the only features that interrupt the beautiful photographs.

Thanks Fishcakes!

1. Download (and fix) HTML5media
2. Your <head> will need flowplayer.js and html5media.js. Keep flowplayer.swf in the same directory.
3. Convert source videos to h264/mp4 and ogg. See ffmpeg switches below.
4. Add <video> tag. Add two <source> lines and an optional <poster> line. See below.

Once installed correctly, h264 will play in Chrome, Safari, Mobile Safari (iPad). Ogg will play in Firefox. Flash will play the H264 on Explorer (and Firefox if you don’t provide an ogg version).

Here are the ffmpeg switches for compressing these files. I’ve installed ffmpeg from Debian multimedia. These files are square pixel and square format. You can also check the input format by just calling ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4. That might give you an idea of what -b (bitrate) and -bt (bitrate for libx264) should be like.

ffmpeg

rossetti@Wakatipu:~$ ffmpeg -version
FFmpeg version SVN-r13582, Copyright (c) 2000-2008 Fabrice Bellard, et al.

rossetti@Wakatipu:~$ ffmpeg -i flower3_15_2.mp4 -cropright 210 -cropleft 210 -aspect 1 -s 544x544 -vcodec libx264 -r 25 -b 516k -bt 516k -crf 22 flower3_15_2-crop.mp4

rossetti@Wakatipu:~$ ffmpeg -i flower3_15_2.mp4 -cropright 210 -cropleft 210 -aspect 1 -s 544x544 -r 25 -b 516k flower3_15_2-crop.ogg

HTML5

This code hides the builtin controller. You can easily control it from javascript however. This one will preload anyway (it will start buffering even if paused) and autoplay. The contents of the <video> tag is parsed by the browser looking for a file it can play. Firefox will stop parsing at ogg and play. Internet Explorer (without the html5media javascript library) will only see the <img> tag. If you’re not autoplaying, <poster> will show before play.

One thing to watch is that <video> may not respect the width/height attributes that you specify.

<video width='540' height='540' autoplay='true' style='border : none;'>
<source src='/sites/all/themes/grandiflora/libs/flower3_15_2-crop.mp4' autoplay preload type='video/mp4'>
<source src='/sites/all/themes/grandiflora/libs/flower3_15_2-crop.ogg' autoplay preload type='video/ogg'>
<poster src='/sites/all/themes/grandiflora/libs/magnolia-still.jpg' width='540' height='540' />
<img alt='Grandiflora of Sydney delivers roses and beautiful native and seasonal flowers and specialises in bridal flowers, weddings and events.' src='/sites/all/themes/grandiflora/libs/magnolia-still.jpg' width='540' height='540' />
</video>

HTML5media

The fix I mention is in the regular expression that detects compatibility. It fails (for me) in Firefox on mp4s. Here’s a patch.

// Extracts the mimetype from a format string.
function getMimeType(format) {
- return format.match(/\s*([\w-]+\/[\w-]+);|\s/)[1];
+ if ( format.match(/\s*([\w-]+\/[\w-]+)|\s/)[1] )
+ return format.match(/\s*([\w-]+\/[\w-]+)/)[1];
+ else
+// this fails if you pass in a raw mimetype ( ie firefox passing in type="video/mp4"
+ return format.match(/\s*([\w-]+\/[\w-]+);|\s/)[1];
}

For Sydney florist grandiflora’s recent redevelopment we’ve built a gorgeously designed Drupal theme incorporating custom Drupal & Ubercart modules. The site is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Gary Heery, designed by the lovely Yolande Gray with a timelapse of a magnolia opening by Ian Hobbs. Needless to say Saskia and all the flowers are loving the new site!

Store keepers can now sell seasonal flowers that are on the floor today. With a couple of clicks roses are out and tulips are in. Photos from the morning markets go up straight away to Twitter where they are syndicated to the grandiflora blog. Customers can log in to the site and create reminders for their future special events – never forget another anniversary! Still underway are a social style guide to help the staff communicate their brand effectively and an upgrade to their electronic profile including forthcoming EDMs.
