I have openshift with wordpress cartridge.
I need to edit/write php files, and have done so via WordPress theme editor page.
( i have confirmed by sftp that it did edit the files)
Also I have also edited php files localy, then uploaded them by sftp.
( I do not use git, because by default it does not include all the relevant directories, and is useless to me)
All the php files are in directory:
/var/lib/openshift/53….555/app-root/data/themes/purple-pro
What is supposed to happen, is html output is meant to change, after php file changes.
It does not.
Try restarting your app with
rhc app restart -a <yourappname>
For other people having problems with openshift and editing php files.
It seems all PHP Files are cached/compiled, and even deleting a info.php file, still serves a old output webpage.
recomended solution is: use git so it can restart your webserver ( while also it deletes your wp-content directory ffs)
Actually works solution is:
use a linux terminal:
rhc app restart -a myapp
Viola, all the php files now run.
