PrepareDevWorkstation¶

Some requirements¶

• php
• apache-mod_php
• php-cli
• php-pdo_mysql
• mysql
• wget

Clone the repository¶

If you don't have commit rights on the project (ie we never added you SSH key), you can have a read-only clone :

git clone git://gitorious.org/mageia-app-db/mageia-app-db.git

Else :

git clone git@gitorious.org:mageia-app-db/mageia-app-db.git

Check configuration¶

curl https://raw.github.com/vjousse/symfony-1.3---1.4/master/data/bin/check_configuration.php | php

Install missing requirements if needed. A php accelerator is not required but not forbidden either.

Database¶

Create a new empty MySQL database.

init submodules/fill database¶

Our repository has submodules so git requires us to initialize them.

cd mageia-app-db
sh init

On the first run of init you will be prompted for connection information for your database.

Set up permissions in project root¶

mkdir cache
./symfony project:permissions

Remember that the apache (or www-data) user (=apache on mageia/mandriva) must have read access to the directory where you cloned the project.

Madb configuration file¶

The init task copies the default configuration to config/madbconfg.yml.

For development, default values should be ok, but feel free to change the configuration to fit your needs.

Test data¶

If you want to insert test data, just add --insert-test-data to the init task :

./symfony madb:init --insert-test-data

It will download test data for mageia then insert them in your database.

Apache configuration¶

Set a virtualhost or alias.

Basic example :

NameVirtualHost *  
<VirtualHost *>

    ServerName mageia-app-db.localhost
    ServerAlias mageia-app-db.adrien-lap.zone-ttp.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /home/ttp/mageia-app-db/web
    Alias /sf /home/ttp/mageia-app-db/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    <Directory "/home/ttp/mageia-app-db/web">
        AllowOverride All
        Allow from All
    </Directory>
    <Directory "/home/ttp/mageia-app-db/lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf">
        AllowOverride all
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

with this setup, you can access madb at http://localhost/
