ZendSkeletonApplication ======================= 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) ---------------------------- The recommended 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 --repository-url="https://packages.zendframework.com" zendframework/skeleton-application 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/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.git cd ZendSkeletonApplication 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/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication/tarball/master | tar xz --strip-components=1 You would then invoke `composer` to install dependencies per the previous example. Using Git submodules -------------------- Alternatively, you can install using native git submodules: git clone git://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication.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: ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost DocumentRoot /path/to/zf2-tutorial/public SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development" DirectoryIndex index.php AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all
