README

Welcome to Alterapi Skeleton - a base backend source for Kinetise apps.

Requirements:

• PHP >= 5.4.0
• SQLite
• Apache

How to start?

AlterApi Skeleton uses Composer to ease the creation of a new project:

$ composer create-project kinetise/alterapi-skeleton path/to/install -s dev

Composer will create for you a new project under path/to/install

Next you need to setup a Apache Virtual host pointing to path/to/install/web

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName alterapi.skeleton.dev

    ## Vhost docroot
    DocumentRoot "path/to/install/web"

    ## Directories, there should at least be a declaration for path/to/install/web

    <Directory "path/to/install/web">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted

        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            Options -MultiViews

            RewriteEngine On
            #RewriteBase /path/to/app
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
        </IfModule>

    </Directory>

    ## Logging
    ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/alterapi.skeleton.error.log"
    ServerSignature Off
    CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/alterapi.skeleton.access.log" combined

    ## Custom fragment
    SetEnv APP_ENV dev
    SetEnv APP_DEBUG true

</VirtualHost>

Base backend collect logs and create some cache files. You need to create a directories for logs and cache files:

$ cd path/to/install
$ mkdir -p var/{cache,logs}

Your apache user must have permissions to write files under "var" directory.

Last step is creating SQLite database:

$ cd path/to/install
$ php app/console orm:schema-tool:create
