lithium-library li3_server

daschl/li3_server

Booting Lithium from the CLI.

Note that this is highly experimental and while it works, a lot of tests in /test seem to fail., _(*1)

Requirements

• PHP 5.4 as it introduces the new built-in HTTP server.
• Lithium, of course.

Installation

The easiest way to install li3_server is through Composer., _(*2)

{
    "require": {
        "daschl/li3_server": "master"
    }
}

Alternatively, you can install it directly from GitHub:, _(*3)

$ cd libraries
$ git clone git://github.com/daschl/li3_server.git

Now you need to add it to your Lithium bootstrap file (config/bootstrap/libraries.php):, _(*4)

Libraries::add('li3_server');

Usage

Head to the command line and run it through li3 server., _(*5)

$ li3 server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lithium Development Server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Booting: php -S localhost:8000 -t /path/to/webroot
Starting on localhost:8000...

You can also override the following settings:, _(*6)

• --php: The path to your PHP binary. Defaults to php.
• --host: The hostname to which the server will listen. Defaults to localhost.
• --port: The port on which the server will listen. Defaults to 8000.
• --webroot: A custom webroot. Defaults to LITHIUM_APP_PATH/webroot.
• --router: A custom router script. Defaults to the provided one at config/router.php.

If you are still running mainly PHP 5.3 and want to experiment with the server, you can do it like this:, _(*7)

$ li3 server --php=/home/michael/Downloads/php-5.4.0RC6/sapi/cli/php
