SymBlog

Continued Symfony 2.5 Tutorial completion based on the blog.

Install

To install the project you need to have the PHP dependency manager called Composer.

$> mkdir /var/www/lh.symblog && cd /var/www/lh.symblog
$> git clone https://github.com/gergelykovacs/symblog.git .

.... [ clones the repo into lh.symblog ]

$> composer install

... [ installs all the requirements and finally please fill these ]

Creating the "app/config/parameters.yml" file
Some parameters are missing. Please provide them.
database_driver (pdo_mysql): 
database_host (127.0.0.1): 
database_port (null): 
database_name (symfony): symblog
database_user (root): symblog
database_password (null): passwd123
mailer_transport (smtp): 
mailer_host (127.0.0.1): 
mailer_user (null): 
mailer_password (null): 
locale (en): 
secret (ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt): 
debug_toolbar (true): 
debug_redirects (false): 
use_assetic_controller (true):

Create the MySQL database and user you have set $> mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p.

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `symblog` 
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

CREATE USER 'symblog'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd123';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON symblog.* TO 'symblog'@'%';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Build the table schema and load test data into the new database.

$> bin/console doctrine:schema:create
$> bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Eventually, you should set up the local web service as follows and you are done.

Host configuration

Here and now please note that .lh refers to your localhost so the $> vim /etc/hosts file should contain the following line.

127.0.0.1    prod.symblog.lh    test.symblog.lh    dev.symblog.lh

Nginx configuration

You can access the project's different states by the URIs

• Production http://prod.symblog.lh
• Testing http://test.symblog.lh
• Development http://dev.symblog.lh

and it is for convenience only (NOT FOR PRODUCTION SERVICE).

Please be aware of Nginx IfEvil when you read the configuration below.

#
# @file: /etc/nginx/sites-available/lh.symblog.conf
# symlink: /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lh.symblog.conf -> @file
#
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name ~^(?<symenv>prod|test|dev).symblog.lh$;
	root /var/www/lh.symblog/web;

        access_log  /var/log/nginx/lh.symblog/access-80.log main;
        error_log  /var/log/nginx/lh.symblog/error-80.log warn;

	set $web_script "app_$symenv.php";

	if ($symenv ~ "^prod$") {
		set $web_script "app.php";
	}

	location / {
		index $web_script;
		try_files $uri /$web_script/$args;
	}

	location ~ ^/(app|app_dev|app_test|config)\.php(/|$) {
		fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
		fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
		include fastcgi_params;
		fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
	}

        location ~ /\.ht {
		deny all;
        }

        location = /favicon.ico {
                access_log off;
                log_not_found off;
        }
}

Test

To run all the PHPUnit tests:

$> cp php phpunit.xml.dist phpunit.xml
$> phpunit --stderr --debug 

Further

The tutorial and functionalities will be extended later.

The YUI Compressor is added (.jar) for Assetic support but will be removed later.
