CakePHP Application Skeleton for PaaS / Heroku
==============================================

[](#cakephp-application-skeleton-for-paas--heroku)

**This is a fork of [CakePHP Application Skeleton](https://github.com/cakephp/app).**

A skeleton for creating applications with [CakePHP](http://cakephp.org) 3.0.

The framework source code can be found here: [cakephp/cakephp](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp).

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

[](#installation)

1. Download [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) or update `composer self-update`.
2. Run `php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist thegallagher/cakephp-app-paas [app_name]`.

If Composer is installed globally, run

```
composer create-project --prefer-dist thegallagher/cakephp-app-paas [app_name]
```

You should now be able to visit the path to where you installed the app and see the setup traffic lights.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Configuration is done with environment variables or in `config/.env`. You can read `config/.env` for information on the available variables.

If you followed the above installation instructions to create your project, you will be asked to create `config/.env`. If you were not in interactive mode, you will need to use environment variables or `cp config/default.env config/.env`.

You may use any of the constants in `config/paths.php` by prefixing and suffixing the constant with two underscores (`__`). Eg. To use the `LOGS` constant, write `__LOGS__` in the environment variable.

Deploying to Heroku
-------------------

[](#deploying-to-heroku)

Make sure you have the [Heroku toolbelt](https://toolbelt.heroku.com/) installed and logged in.

If you haven't already, create your repository:

```
git init
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
```

Create the app:

```
heroku apps:create
git push heroku master
heroku config:set SECURITY_SALT=[your-security-salt]
```

Create a MySQL database:

```
heroku addons:create cleardb
old_db_url=`heroku config:get CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL`
heroku config:set DATABASE_URL="$old_db_url"
```

Configure logs:

```
heroku config:set LOG_URL="console:///?levels[]=notice&levels[]=info&levels[]=debug"
heroku config:set LOG_ERROR_URL="console:///?levels[]=warning&levels[]=error&levels[]=critical&levels[]=alert&levels[]=emergency"
```
