I have just started out with ZF2 and i am very confused with Zend Skeleton Application.
In current situation URl looks like:
http://localhost/zf2/public/
And for a module named Application it looks like:
http://localhost/zf2/public/Application/
and the actions goes after the module name.
i want to create a CMS with admin panel and users panel.
And that's why I want my URL for users to be like:
http://localhost/zf2
and for admin like:
http://localhost/zf2/admin/Module Name/Actions
So, my question is, How am i supposed to create URL like this?
Your url examples look like you are confusing the public directory and the controller routes. You should usually not have a url like this:
http://localhost/zf2/public/
Instead you should generally be using a vhost. There are numerous ways to do this, but generally it boils down to either a custom port or a custom hosts entry if you want a named vhost. Then your url to public will look like one of these two options:
http://localhost:9000/
or
http://myapp.local/
If you are using PHP 5.4, in your development environment, by far the easiest way to start a host is to use the PHP 5.4 built-in server. You start that up like this on the command line from your project root (this makes the public directory the web root of the temporary web server on port 9000 of your localhost):
php -S localhost:9000 -t public
Once you have your web server configuration sorted out, the Skeleton app will automatically interpret your url routes (by default) like this:
http://localhost:9000/some-module/some-controller/some-action
If you want to put in the full literal path the the default indexAction on the IndexController in the Skeleton app, it looks like this:
http://localhost:9000/application/index/index

I'm too newbie to Laravel...I have written this route to echo "Hello World", but It errors NotFoundHttpException
This is my routes.php (no other code is in the file but the following):
Route::get('/', function(){
return "HELLO WORLD";
});
I have also enable mode_rewrite, and also set AlloOverride to 'all' in apache module.
This is also the URL is use to access the page:
http://localhost/laravel/public/mostafa
Do:
php artisan serve
Use that URL to visit your website.
You will see that you get some output like:
Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000
When you have no clue what Artisan is take a look at this;
http://laravel.com/docs/artisan
Navigate into your project directory with your command prompt and run there the serve command from above.
Example:
Sometimes the default .htaccess file located in public folder doesn't work in apache. Try altering the .htacess as mentioned here. Alternatively renaming your laravel project folder would work especially in XAMPP.
Some other frameworks treat route definitions as relative to the project web root so a path defined as /foo/bar will match http://example.com/additional/levels/laravel/public/foo/bar and will work without changes even if you move the project tree somewhere else in your public web hierarchy. Laravel, however, considers routes as absolute paths so /foo/bar will only match http://example.com/foo/bar.
The simplest solution is probably to move your code into a separate virtual host and point its document root to laravel/public/. (In this case it seems that's actually the intended set-up.)
(I suppose there's a way to make the framework assume an implicit prefix but I've only been using Laravel for 10 minutes.)
I'm trying to deploy an PHP application which is written with Zend Framework to a shared cPanel server.
There are not many tutorials available on this area online, however, I followed several of them. It is successful to run the test page which proves the zend framework is installed correctly.
However, since cPanel server has a default root directory called public_html/, it is impossible to simply rename it to the Zend Server's default public/.
As a result, I had two options in mind: (Say the project name is AAA)
1) upload my projects under the /public_html/ directory, then the project will be like /public_html/AAA/public, and etc.
However, this one simply fails to work.
My thought would be something wrong here with the baseUrl setting, however, no matter I comment ( which is to remove the baseUrl) or set to the root page, ( in this case /public_html/AAA) both failed.
2) I tried to follow the way listed in this article: http://blog.motane.lu/2009/11/24/zend-framework-and-web-hosting-services/. Still failed.
Can anyone suggest how to do it?
Really appreciate your help!
Just symlink it:
ln -s public public_html
then this structure will work:
htdocs/
myvhost.com/
public/
application/
library/
public_html # this is actually a symlink pointing to public
Whatever you do, dont just throw everything in the publicly accessible area... its just bad form :-)
I don't think ZF cares what you name your "public" directory. It's just the convention that's typically used.
I can't think of any ZF component or common use case where anything explicitly points at "public/...".
A project structure like this should work:
myproject/
application/
library/
public_html/ # this used to be public until you renamed it.
I am a cakephp newbie and I had trouble to view the files under the view folder through browser.
I used cakephp console to bake model, controller and views. (ex: Invoices_controller.php for controller, invoice.php for model and a invoices folders under views folder). According to the tutorial I read, I can access the invoice view by typing http://localhost/myProject/invoices
(there is no index.php inside the invoices folder..but the tutorial shows it still can display a page. no idea how they did it)
The path for my invoices is myProject/views/invoices and there add.ctp, index.ctp, edit.ctp files inside the invoices folder.
The browser showed the file is not found when I typed http://localhost/myProject/invoices
You have some lack in your knowledge about how the webserver handling a request when cakephp is installed. Assume that we use apache.
In cake's folder structure you can see .htaccess files in the root, app and webroot directories what have url rewrite rules in them. At the end a normal request to a cakephp site will be transformed to a http://site.url.root/app/webroot/index.php?url=original.url
In nutshell to understand it in your point of view:
That index.php call the required php files and at least a cakephp app object is built up in the memory with the required models and methods. Then the app object let say start and calls its methods (model, controller and view methods) and at the end it gives back a result to apache what serves it to you.
Therefore the original url path is a "non existent" virtual url.
If you enter http://localhost/myProject/ do you get a cake intro page? If so does it highlight any problems?
It sounds to me as if you do not have Apache set up properly. I don't know what OS you're using, but it might be worth checking this link, written for Ubuntu, to make sure all is well: http://leoponton.blogspot.com/2010/05/getting-cakephp-up-and-running-on.html
I fixed the same problem.
if you are using windows 7 os, wamp server, cakephp 2.2.3. then
goto apache -> http.conf -> open -> search for mod_rewrite -> uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Now restart your server, now it should work fine.
Jerry, I think the issue is this. You have put the CakePHP folder in the root of localhost. I would propose that you create a virtual host pointing the myProject so the url becomes:
http://myProject/accounting
This may solve your problem. Be sure rewrite module is on. Also, when you point the virtual host to myProject, it should be the APP folder of the cakephp. If you want to run multiple projects off the same core, you can set them up like so:
/var/www/cake
/var/www/html/myProject
/var/www/html/myProject2
The /var/www/cake directory is where you drop the cake core. Under this directory you will have cake, app, plugins, vendors, etc. the myProject(2) directories will be the contents of the app directory.
Now, to get this to work, you need to go to /var/www/html/myProject/webroot/index.php and edit it to point to the cake directory in /var/www/cake. This will then load the core when rewrite points to index.php in webroot. You should be good to go!
I've just started learning cakephp and have gotten the Blog example working except for the routing, I'm still not quite sure how it works after reading many, many documents on routing (including the ones in the official cookbook).
My problem is with the '/' root routing, I want it to go to the index() function of the PostsController so I use:
Router::connect ('/', array('controller'=>'posts', 'action'=>'index'));
But this doesn't work if I go to the url: localhost/
This is probably (most definetely) because I don't know where to put the cake_1_3 folder/installation, currently my directory tree for localhost (in htdocs) looks as follows:
-htdocs>posts>cake_1_3
This means that when I navigate to: localhost/ I get nothing and when I navigate to: localhost/posts/ I get nothing, just the directory listing for the folder "posts" which shows I have the directory "cake_1_3".
It is only when I go to the url: localhost/posts/cake_1_3/posts/ does the routing work, as in it sees the second "posts" and so runs the "index" function of "PostsController".
Obviously this isn't what I want, I want to be able to go to: localhost/posts/ and it use the index function of the PostsController.
Update: I actually tried taking all the cakephp stuff out of "cake_1_3" and just into "posts" but then I have to go to: localhost/posts/posts/ for it to use the index() function of PostsController.
Is there any way I can just navigate to localhost/posts/ and I'll get the index() function of the PostsController running?
I know this is probably a very simple problem and I'm just missing something because I'm so tired (well that's my excuse anyway), but I've been searching around for about 3 hours now and wouldn't mind a helping hand.
Thanks for your time,

P.S. I've just realised I can dump all the cakephp installation files/folders into the root (htdocs) and then localhost/posts/ will work but I've got loads of different test websites in their own folders in htdocs/ and so I'd rather have this posts test in its own folder too, not have all the cakephp folders mixed up with all the other websites' folders.
Just to be clear what directories we're talking about, a Cake installation comes with these folders:
/
app/
webroot/
cake
You will have to hit the top / directory with your browser to get a response from Cake at all. All routes are relative to that top / directory.
Let's say you have installed Cake in your web server like so:
/
htdocs/
someotherproject/
mycakeapp/
app/
webroot/
cake/
The htdocs directory is the root of your web server. If you go to http://localhost/, your web server will respond with the contents of /htdocs/. It's not even invoking Cake, so Cake can't route anything.
You'll have to open http://localhost/mycakeapp/ to invoke Cake. From there, Cake will do its routing. The Cake route Router::connect('/', …) corresponds to the URL http://localhost/mycakeapp/. All Cake routes are relative to the app installation path. The Cake routing is app-internal routing, it does not correspond to the absolute URL.
If you want http://localhost/ to be your Cake app, Cake will need to be the only app residing in /htdocs/. You can't have multiple apps in the root and yet have any one of them be "the root app"†‡.
For local development purposes this should be perfectly fine. When uploading the app to a real server with a real domain you'll usually make it the one and only app.
† Well you could, with elaborate rewrite-rules, virtual host configurations or by placing files in Cake's /app/webroot/ folder. Usually more hassle than it's worth though, keep your projects separate.
‡ You can't have your Cake and eat it, too. zing
In a Zend Framework 1.10 application, I have a controller UsersController in a module api and in the index view of that controller I would like to reference a static asset (like a javascript file). How can I do that without putting the file in the main public?
so, we have a directory setup like this:
zfproj/
../application/modules/api/controllers/UserController.php
../application/modules/api/views/scripts/users/index.phtml
../application/modules/api/public/javascript/apimodule.js
../application/controllers/
../application/views/
../public/
I want to be able to include the apimodule.js in a view (in this case the users/index view). Ideally, this would able to be done without adding anything into zfproj/public
The intention behind this is to create a module that can be deployed into a ZF 1.10 application that is completely self-contained and does not require adding assets (like Javascript files) into the applications existing public/javascript files.
Typically all your publicly accessible assets go in public. It's meant to be the web root of your application and typically you set the DOCUMENT_ROOT of your apache virtual host to this folder. I'm not sure why you'd want to store client files (javascript, css, etc) outside the webroot. Can you elaborate more on your directory/application structure (maybe hinting at the location of the file you want to include)?
Edit
What you're asking should be possible. To make a standalone module, I think you'd just move "api" inside the primary public folder and the module would have its own bootstrap or you'd have to do something in your primary bootstrap based on the module name ("api" in this case). You'd have to modify your include paths accordingly. You'd need to add an .htaccess file to protect your code directories in this case.
../application/controllers
../public/api/controllers
../public/api/javascript/apimodule.js
../public/api/index.php
You might also create a symlink in your public folder that points to the public folder of api. So,
../public/api > ../application/modules/api/public
This would allow access to public but protect your code files. One thing I often do is check out subversion external into the public folder that just points to the public folder of the module. My CMS looks like this:
application/modules/cms
application/modules/cms/ui (public facing cms UI)
public/ui (svn:external pointing to application/modules/cms/ui)
HTH give you some ideas.
