create a MySQL database, and change $database in /mysite/_config.php
create a file named _ss_environment.php, you can place that inside the repo, parent folder or in the parent parent folder.
the file should look like this(more infos at http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/topics/environment-management)
<?php
define('SS_DATABASE_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('SS_DATABASE_USERNAME', 'YOUR_DATABASE_USERNAME');
define('SS_DATABASE_PASSWORD', 'YOUR_DATABASE_PASSWORD');
define('SS_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'dev');
define('SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME', 'YOUR_EMAIL');
define('SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD', 'YOUR_PASSWORD');
global $_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING;
$_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING['/var/www/'] = 'http://127.0.0.1';
This boilerplate is based on the assumption that the project will be a customized website/webapp. So you might notice there is no theme in the themes folder, the plan is to add all templates, javascript and css/scss into mysite. Which has the benefit of having the whole project at one place, not separated into 2 folders.
mysite
|-- code // your php code in here
|-- css // the css in here is generated from the files in /scss
|-- images // project images
|-- javascript // all your self written javascript
|-- scss // your scss, which gets processed and written into /css
|-- templates // your templates, that others put into themes/mytheme/templates
|-- thirdparty // all thirdparty code goes in here (jquery plugins)
|-- .gitignore
|-- _config.php
|-- config.rb // config file for sass
This boilerplate is prepared for being used with sass (http://sass-lang.com/) and compass (http://compass-style.org/) Once you have installed compass (see http://compass-style.org/install/) run the following command in your project root folder:
compass watch -e production .
which will tell compass to watch for any file changes inside /mysite/scss
