  1. Change to the thrift directory
  2. Install build dependencies.
    • On Ubuntu:
      No Format
      sudo apt-get install libboost-dev automake libtool flex bison pkg-config g++
    • On RHEL 5 or CentOS 5:
      No Format
      sudo yum install automake libtool flex bison pkgconfig gcc-c++ boost-devel libevent-devel zlib-devel python-devel ruby-devel openssl-devel
  3. Configure and build Thrift:
    No Format
    ./configure
make
  4. Build the PHP Thrift interface for Cassandra:
    No Format
    ./compiler/cpp/thrift -gen php ../PATH-TO-CASSANDRA/interface/cassandra.thrift
  5. Copy the include files to a useful place (per the Cassandra "Getting Started" guide):
    No Format
    sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/php/Thrift
sudo cp -R gen-php/ /usr/share/php/Thrift/packages/
sudo cp -R lib/php/src/* /usr/share/php/Thrift/

...

  1. Copy in the PHP from the Cassandra client examples page to /var/www/cassandra-test.php.
  2. Visit http://localhost/cassandra-test.php in the browser.
  3. On the first load, the array output should be empty. On the second, there should be content.

Good candidates include:
