Zend Framework 2: Disable module on production environment - php

Question

OK, here's the problem:
I have a module in my Zend Framework 2 application that I wish to not include on production. Therefore, I made a file inside config/autoload called local.php with the following content:
'modules' => array(
'Application',
'My_Local_Module',
),
while config/application.config.php contains:
'modules' => array(
'Application',
),
When I try to access the module in the URL, a 404 is returned. However, when I set the modules inside the application.config.php file, the module is displayed properly. The environment variable is set to local.

Put the following lines in your index.php:
<?php
// ...
// Get the current environment (development, testing, staging, production, ...)
$env = strtolower(getenv('APPLICATION_ENV'));
// Assume production if environment not defined
if (empty($env)) {
$env = 'production';
}
// Get the default config file
$config = require 'config/application.config.php';
// Check if the environment config file exists and merge it with the default
$env_config_file = 'config/application.' . $env . '.config.php';
if (is_readable($env_config_file)) {
$config = array_merge_recursive($config, require $env_config_file);
}
// Run the application!
Zend\Mvc\Application::init($config)->run();
Then create different configuration files for each environment.
application.config.php:
<?php
return array(
'modules' => array(
'Application'
),
'module_listener_options' => array(
'config_glob_paths' => array(
'config/autoload/{,*.}{global,local}.php'
),
'module_paths' => array(
'./module',
'./vendor'
)
)
);
application.development.config.php:
<?php
return array(
'modules' => array(
'ZendDeveloperTools'
)
);
application.production.config.php:
<?php
return array(
'module_listener_options' => array(
'config_cache_enabled' => true,
'module_map_cache_enabled' => true,
'cache_dir' => 'data/cache/'
)
);

Answer 2

You have to enumerate all your modules inside application.config.php, so the config should look like that:
$modules = array (
'Application'
);
if (IS_LOCAL_DOMAIN)
{
$modules [] = "My_Local_Module";
}
return array(
'modules' => $modules,
'module_listener_options' => array(
'config_glob_paths' => array(
'config/autoload/{,*.}{global,local}.php',
),
'module_paths' => array(
'./module',
'./vendor',
),
),
);
