Cakephp 2.x skeleton
====================

[](#cakephp-2x-skeleton)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

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

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using Composer (The Right Way)
------------------------------

[](#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
----------------

[](#web-server-setup)

### PHP CLI Server

[](#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

[](#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:

```

    ServerName cakephp-skeleton.localhost
    DocumentRoot /path/to/cakephp-skeleton/app/webroot

        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all

```
