deploying-php-applications's Issues

Missing function in env() example.

Hello, thanks for the book - purchased on Leanpub.

Just looking at the env() example in chapter 3 and think there's either a missing function value() or an error here:

deploying-php-applications/manuscript/code/chapter-3/env-function.php

Line 6 in 4482ee3

return value($default);

Refusing to update checked out branch

Hi,

I bought your book (and just discovered it's now open source). Thank you for the awesome work!

Following your instruction I created a repository on my remote server.
After git init I created the post-receive hook file and added the following line:

#!/bin/bash
cd..
unset GIT_DIR

env -i git reset --hard
git checkout -f

I added the remote to my local git and performed a git push production master command to push...

Here is the output I received:

Counting objects: 781, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (720/720), done.
Writing objects: 100% (781/781), 32.39 MiB | 652.00 KiB/s, done.

remote: error:

remote: error:

To ssh://xxx/var/www/xxx/

error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://xxx/var/www/xxx/'

Questions:

• What's wrong?
• I used to do the same kind of flow but instead using a git init --bare repository.
• What's the difference between the two repository (as I have a hard time to clearly understand while googling)

Last but not least, I have your e-mail. I have some questions I would like to discuss with you. Can I send?

Thanks for your help.

Great job again.
