Question

I uploaded some images to the folder $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/uploaded, but I can't seem to retrieve those files using:

$_ENV['$OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR'].'uploaded/filename.jpg';

The error message was something like:

The requested URL /var/lib/openshift/xxxxx/app-root/data/thumbnails/filename.jpg was not found on this server.

But when I ssh into my openshift app, the file was there in $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/uploaded/

Is there a particular command to retrieve info from $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR?

So I did some further research online and apparently the $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR folder is not accessible. One way to work around is to create a symlink. However another problem arises: I couldn't symlink $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/uploaded and $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/src/img/uploaded. The command I used was:

ln -s ${OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR}uploaded ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}src/img/uploaded

But when I check it using readlink :

readlink -f ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}src/img/uploaded

it still displays the ${OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR}src/img/uploaded folder instead of $OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR/uploaded

So the solution was rather simple: set .openshift/action_hooks/build file to 'executable'. A symlink to $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/src/img/uploaded can then be specified in the build file, and the uploaded files can then be referred to by calling $_ENV['$OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR'].'src/img/uploaded/filename.jpg';
