Cakephp 2.x skeleton
Introduction
CakePHP 2.x application skeleton. Features Composer, Ant build script
(Jenkins php-template compatible http://jenkins-php.org/) for quality
assurance., (*1)
Installation
Using Composer (The Right Way)
The way to get a working copy of this project is to clone the repository
and use composer to install dependencies using the create-project command:, (*2)
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php --
php composer.phar create-project -sdev eimanavicius/cakephp-skeleton path/to/install
Alternately, clone the repository and manually invoke composer using the shipped
composer.phar:, (*3)
cd my/project/dir
git clone git@github.com:eimanavicius/cakephp-skeleton.git
cd cakephp-skeleton
php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install
(The self-update directive is to ensure you have an up-to-date composer.phar
available.), (*4)
Another alternative for downloading the project is to grab it via curl, and
then pass it to tar:, (*5)
cd my/project/dir
curl -#L https://github.com/eimanavicius/cakephp-skeleton/tarball/master | tar xz --strip-components=1
You would then invoke composer to install dependencies per the previous
example., (*6)
Web Server Setup
PHP CLI Server
The simplest way to get started if you are using PHP 5.4 or above is to start the internal PHP cli-server in the root directory:, (*7)
./bin/cake -app app server -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8080
OR, (*8)
php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t app/webroot/ app/webroot/index.php
This will start the cli-server on port 8080, and bind it to all network
interfaces., (*9)
**Note: ** The built-in CLI server is for development only., (*10)
Apache Setup
To setup apache, setup a virtual host to point to the app/webroot/ directory of the
project and you should be ready to go! It should look something like below:, (*11)
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName cakephp-skeleton.localhost
DocumentRoot /path/to/cakephp-skeleton/app/webroot
<Directory /path/to/cakephp-skeleton/app/webroot>
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
