ZendSkeletonApplication
=======================

[](#zendskeletonapplication)

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

[](#introduction)

This is a simple, skeleton application using the ZF2 MVC layer and module systems. This application is meant to be used as a starting place for those looking to get their feet wet with ZF2.

Installation using Composer
---------------------------

[](#installation-using-composer)

The easiest way to create a new ZF2 project is to use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). If you don't have it already installed, then please install as per the [documentation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md).

Create your new ZF2 project:

```
composer create-project -n -sdev zendframework/skeleton-application path/to/install

```

### Installation using a tarball with a local Composer

[](#installation-using-a-tarball-with-a-local-composer)

If you don't have composer installed globally then another way to create a new ZF2 project is to download the tarball and install it:

1. Download the [tarball](https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication/tarball/master), extract it and then install the dependencies with a locally installed Composer:

    ```
     cd my/project/dir
     curl -#L https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication/tarball/master | tar xz --strip-components=1

    ```
2. Download composer into your project directory and install the dependencies:

    ```
     curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
     php composer.phar install

    ```

If you don't have access to curl, then install Composer into your project as per the [documentation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md).

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:

```
php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public/ public/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*.

### Vagrant server

[](#vagrant-server)

This project supports a basic [Vagrant](http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/index.html) configuration with an inline shell provisioner to run the Skeleton Application in a [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads).

1. Run vagrant up command

    vagrant up
2. Visit  in your browser

Look in [Vagrantfile](Vagrantfile) for configuration details.

### Apache setup

[](#apache-setup)

To setup apache, setup a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the project and you should be ready to go! It should look something like below:

```

    ServerName zf2-app.localhost
    DocumentRoot /path/to/zf2-app/public

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

        Require all granted

```

### Nginx setup

[](#nginx-setup)

To setup nginx, open your `/path/to/nginx/nginx.conf` and add an [include directive](http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#include) below into `http` block if it does not already exist:

```
http {
    # ...
    include sites-enabled/*.conf;
}

```

Create a virtual host configuration file for your project under `/path/to/nginx/sites-enabled/zf2-app.localhost.conf`it should look something like below:

```
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  zf2-app.localhost;
    root         /path/to/zf2-app/public;

    location / {
        index index.php;
        try_files $uri $uri/ @php;
    }

    location @php {
        # Pass the PHP requests to FastCGI server (php-fpm) on 127.0.0.1:9000
        fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/zf2-app/public/index.php;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

```

Restart the nginx, now you should be ready to go!
