README

Introduction

CakePHP 2.x application skeleton. Features Composer, Ant build script (Jenkins php-template compatible http://jenkins-php.org/) for quality assurance.

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:

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:

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.)

Another alternative for downloading the project is to grab it via curl, and then pass it to tar:

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.

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:

./bin/cake -app app server -H 0.0.0.0 -p 8080

OR

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.

**Note: ** The built-in CLI server is for development only.

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:

<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>
