Zendbackend Skeleton Application

WARNING

THIS APPLICATION IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT STAGE. DO NOT USE IT TO DEVELOP YOUR APPLICATION.

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 (recommended)

Clone the repository and manually invoke composer using the shipped composer.phar:

cd my/project/dir
git clone git://github.com/stepzerosolutions/zendbackend.git
cd zendbackend
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.)

Using Git submodules

Alternatively, you can install using native git submodules:

git clone git://github.com/stepzerosolutions/zendbackend.git --recursive

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:

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.

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:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost
    DocumentRoot /path/to/zf2-tutorial/public
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory /path/to/zf2-tutorial/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
