TKLPatch for B-Translator
I have installed a server with B-Translator at https://l10n.org.al, and it took me a long time to configure it properly with NGINX + MySQL + php5-fpm + apc + memcached + Drupal7, so I have tried to create a tklpatch in order to speed up the process of building another server similar to this. It is based on the NGINX appliance from: /nginx-php-fastcgi
The patch is in github: https://github.com/dashohoxha/B-Translator/tree/master/tklpatch
However it is not working properly yet. I will try to fix it, but if somebody could help me to make it work, I would appreciate.
Thanks,
Dashamir

Is it better to patch NGINX, or to patch Core?
Reply 1I patched Core
Reply 2I decided that it would be better to patch Core (instead on NGINX). I have copied a lot of things from existing patches, like di-live.d, live-installer.d, etc. without properly knowing what they are needed for. If you have any suggestions about these I would appreciate it.
I have also noticed that phpMyAdmin looks like an old version. Have I done something wrong or this is normal? Is there anything that can be done to install a more recent version?
Sorry for delay responding
Reply 3Having a quick look at you patch I'm not sure why you included di-live.d and live-installer scripts for MySQL but didn't include firstboot scripts also.
I'm no expert in these thing but AFAIK the di-live.d script is if you run your patched ISO live. The live-installer.d script is to regen the MySQL admin password (which is always set randomly on install of MySQL) which is a good idea (but I have never bothered with myself - but perhaps should have...)
As for phpMyAdmin, as you are just installing from the repos the version is whatever is there (which would be circa 2010 - when Debian Squeeze was frozen in testing) so it would be an 'old' version. If you can find a newer source somewhere upstream then you could include that in your patch but personally I wouldn't unless there is some functionality that is fundamental to your patched appliance.
Thanks for your reply
Reply 4I don't think that the patched ISO should be run live, but anyway if it doesn't hurt let di-live.d be there. I should definitely include the firstboot scripts; I think it is important to change the passwords after installation.
About phpMyAdmin, I am not aware of the changes in the latest versions. Only the look seems to be much better. But since this is not so important, I am not going to touch it.
I have removed php-fastcgi and installed php5-fpm instead. I have also changed the configuration of nginx. I am not sure whether it is better to patch the NGINX appliance, or to patch Core. Any idea? Thanks.
