Skapp

Introduction

This is a skeleton application using the ZF2 MVC layer and module systems.

This application is meant to be used as a fast start [ aka /skapp/ in out origin dialects ] place for those looking to get their feet wet with ZF2.

This skeleton uses only composer to install dependencies and for autoloding.

Some usefull dependencies in order to work in a Nginx/Mongo/SphinxSearch environment are included in composer.json.

Installation

Using Composer

The only way to get a working copy of this project is to clone the repository and use composer to install dependencies:

composer install

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.

Note: In oreder to decline static file requests back to the PHP built-in webserver, you've to de-comment a code block inside public/index.php

Nginx Setup

To setup nginx, open your /path/to/nginx/nginx.conf and add the ìnclude directive below into http block (if doesn't exists):

http {
    # ...
    include conf.d/*.conf;
}

Create a virtual host configuration file for your project under /path/to/nginx/conf.d/project-name.tld.conf it should look something like below:

server {
        listen                          80;

        server_name                     _;

        access_log                      logs/project-name.access.log;

        proxy_pass_header               Server;
        root                            /var/www/nginx/project-name;
        index                           index.php;

        location ~* \.(eot|ttf|woff)$ {
            add_header                  Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
            try_files                   $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
        }

        location / {
            try_files                   $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
        }

        location ~* .php$ {
            fastcgi_pass                unix:/var/www/php/fpm-projectname.sock;
            fastcgi_param               SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/nginx/project-name/index.php;
            fastcgi_param               APPLICATION_ENV development;
            include                     fastcgi_params;
        }
}

Note: This nginx config requires that you have the eot,ttf and woff mime types in yout mime.types
