I have a problem updating wordpress or installing wordpress plugin in my local version of google app engine. I get the following message.
Downloading install package from
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/event-espresso-decaf.4.8.38.decaf.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Could not create directory.
With the same code base I am able install plugin using MAMP (Macintosh, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). However fails with google Pyton script (dev_appserver.py).
I tried changing the permission of the file system by giving privilege to all user for write. Tried executing as sudo dev_appserver.py .. Followed the advice in other post, No luck.
Whats the problem here?, With MAMP all looks good in my local, but the same code break as I deploy to GAE (appcfg.py -A APP-ID update app.yaml). Whats the problem here
Cannot write to file on Google App Engine Dev server with PHP?
Staring SDK 1.9.18, dev_appserver disables local file writing by default to better simulate the production environment. You can enable file writing by adding "google_app_engine.disable_readonly_filesystem=1" to your php.ini file.
I also wrote a blog post about running WordPress on App Engine flexible environment at:

Please give it a try too.

Recently tried to update my Gaelyk project (yes, it's old, but it works well and I still use it), but Google App Engine will no longer accept the update. The error message returned is "Deployments using appcfg are no longer supported. See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/deprecations". The thing is, I never used appcfg to deploy my application; I used Gaelyk and Gradle. But obviously Gaelyk must have used appcfg under the covers.
I did download the replacement Google Cloud SDK, but this new tool is not similar at all to how Gaelyk and Gradle worked. Is there anything I can do to get Gaelyk to work anymore? Or is Gaelyk just dead and I need to rewrite my application (like in Node.js or something instead of Groovy).
This will be hard, however I will try to help you as possible. I think you may try to migrate it somehow to app.yaml configuration of GAE.
I am not sure what plugins are used in the project. From Gaelyk temple project I can see that it's using appengine-geb which, according to the documentation, behind the scenes, is using gradle-appengine-plugin (there is wrong link on this doc, but proper is bellow).
On the github of gradle-appengine-plugin I have found following.
There is a note:
NOTE: All App Engine users are encouraged to transition to the new
gradle plugin for their projects.
And in FAQ part there is following information:
How do I deploy with gcloud?
If you're using gcloud to deploy your application, the newest version of app deploy > doesn't support war
directories, you will need to provide it with an app.yaml OR you can
use the appengineStage task to create a directory that is deployable
in /build/staged-app
$ ./gradlew appengineStage
$ gcloud app deploy build/staged-app/app.yaml --project [app id]
--version [some version]
NOTES:
You must explicitly define all config files your want to upload
(cron.yaml, etc)
This does not work with EAR formatted projects.
I think the best option will be to migrate to new appenine plugin or if not possible try to implement is with gcloud app deploy command crating the config files manually (at least app.yaml). And for this migration I can provide you this document.
I hope you will manage somehow...
I can confirm that Serge's answer on the Gaelyk Groups site works; the same procedure that he figured out also worked for me. To summarize:
Run gradlew appengineRun as run previously with Gaelyk.
Copy all jar files inside the build\exploded-app\WEB-INF\lib folder into a \src\main\webapp\web-inf\lib folder (for me the new lib folder did not exist previously).
To deploy, use the new required gcloud tool, and instead of running gradlew appengineUpdate (which fails now), instead run
gcloud app deploy appengine-web.xml where that XML file can be found in your webapp/WEB-INF directory. I navigated to that directory to run the gcloud command, but you can use a relative path there if your working directory is elsewhere. (There are a number of optional flags associated with the gcloud app deploy command, but I didn't need any of them.)
Serge needed to use these instructions to convert datastore-indexes.xml to index.yaml and run gcloud app deploy index.yaml, however, I didn't need to do this because I had no datastores.
I use Laravel with Sql Server in GAE, but I get error "could not find driver",
so I echo phpinfo in my site, and I found GAE PDO not support sqlsrv also not support pdo_sqlsrv.....
Is anyway I can fix that?
※I test my local environment is work, only GAE have this problem!
As mentioned in the The PHP Runtime documentation of the App Engine Flex, you can enable an extension by adding a php.ini to the root of your app before deploying it.
For installing drivers you will need to extend the runtime by creating a custom one, based on the basic PHP runtime available for App Engine. This will generate a Dockerfile in which you can add the necessary steps to install what you need.
This only works for App Engine Flex however, as you will need to deploy the Custom Runtime with the Dockerfile at the root of your app's folder.
I cannot get my server code to update. I'm running a PHP instance on GAE and no matter what I do, the files won't update. In the source code view, I can see the files have updated, but when I attempt to access the updated file, I'm still viewing the old version. I've also attempted disconnecting my Bitbucket repo and using the appcfg.py update project-name command, but the files aren't refreshing when I attempt to access them. I'm not sure what to do to force the changes to take place.
My app.yaml contains the following code
- url: /(.+\.php)$
script: \1
secure: always
So the files should be getting read, right?
I was able to figure out what went wrong. I downloaded my code using appcfg.py download_app -A <your_app_id> -V <your_app_version> <output-dir> and noticed that I was downloading the old versions of the files (and wasn't downloading the new files). Turns out using source control within GAE will upload new code, but won't deploy it. I attempted to use appcfg.py update project-name one more time, but it didn't work. Turns out I didn't disconnect my Bitbucket account (could have sworn that I did...). Once disconnected, I was able to update the project using appcfg.py update project-name. While I was figuring this out, I reached out to Google support and received this message:
To use the feature of push to deploy you need to spin-up the Jenkins
Instance on GCE (Google Compute Engine) and then it will take the
updated code and execute it in the environment. Go through [1] for how
to enable the Jenkins instance and its configuration according to
different run time.
In your issue, you just mirrored the code from Bit Bucket to Cloud
Repository, as it is just doing the version control for the
application not executing the application. So basically you have have
the option of using Jenkins instance as I described above to test the
different version of the code or using the appcfg.py update command
from your local repository.
I haven't attempted to install and use Jenkins since I fixed it after disconnecting my Bitbucket account), but it may help others who have run into this problem.
I am deploying an laravel application in Google app engine. I have installed SDK and python. I can deploy it online, but when run application localy by using this command from cmd:
python dev_appserver.py --skip_sdk_update_check=yes --port=8080
--admin_port=8000 --php_executable_path=C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php-cgi.exe C:\laravel-master
It shows the following error:
PHP Startup: apc_fcntl_create: could not open C:\Windows\.apc.a02796
I really need to run it locally because I can't test it online. Pls I need some help
This is the cache having problems to send write file commands to your Windows SO. A workaround to this is to locally disable APC by adding:
apc.enabled = "0"
Do your SDK php.ini file.
But it's better to keep it enabled in your GAE application.
I'm pretty new with Pycharm and since this morning i have tried different configuration to use the Run command with an existing Google app engine project but without success.
I have a pretty clear error :)
google.appengine.tools.devappserver2.errors.AppConfigNotFoundError: no app.yaml file at '.'
Nothing wrong with that because the existing project use a custom file call app_dev.yaml. So it's normal that Pycharm is unable to load the server.
How can i change this behaviour and tell Pycharm to use app_dev.yaml instead of app.yaml?
Is it possible?
Thanks
I input an app.yaml on root directory and reloading my project, this working for me.
While the PY-9714 issue was, indeed, closed without a resolution, the automatic '.' added to the Run configuration has been reconsidered in PY-10675 in light of GAE support for multiple modules/services inside the same application and/or request routing using a dispatch.yaml file.
So in the more recent PyCharm versions it's possible to specify one or more .yaml files as options in the Run configuration. See for an example Pycharm multiple modules Run server
For those still running an older Pycharm version without the fix, a solution using a wrapper script is described in Run App Engine development server with modules in PyCharm
