Projects / Api Generator

Hi, As a former professional programmer on IBM AS/400 and vb(.net) I started playing with php a few weeks ago. After trying the ZEND system I got the feeling I was killing a fly with a elephant. Thats why I searched on the Inet for another framework. The PHPCake seems to be the fastest one and stable enough. I had my Free ZEND server running on a Vmware XP sp 2 machine and it worked like a charm so I decided to create the demo project on that apache server. The ZEND CE server is a free apache server where you only have to set up a free version of mysql or another DB you would like to use. In the follwing text I describe the things I had to change to get the server to work together with 5 extra virtual websites. AFter installing the ZEND server go to the httpd.conf and change the following: find the <Directory /> tag and replace all according to the next lines: <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all Order deny,allow </Directory> This will fix the rewrite and the security problems. At the end of the httpd.conf file add the follwing line: include "C:\websites\virtualhosts.conf" Create a folderstructure like c:\Websites\develop1\web c:\Websites\develop1\log repeat this until you reach develop5 after that create another map structure like c:\Websites\tools\web c:\Websites\tools\log In the tools you can install things like phpMyAdmin etc. in the c:\websites you create the text file virtualhosts.conf with this content: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Use name-based virtual hosting. NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName develop1 DocumentRoot "C:\websites\develop1\web\app\webroot" ErrorLog "C:\websites\develop1\logs\error.log" CustomLog "C:\websites\develop1\logs\access.log" combined </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName develop2 DocumentRoot "c:\websites\develop2\web" ErrorLog "c:\websites\develop2\logs\error.log" CustomLog "c:\websites\develop2\logs\access.log" combined </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName develop3 DocumentRoot "c:\websites\develop3\web" ErrorLog "c:\websites\develop3\logs\error.log" CustomLog "c:\websites\develop3\logs\access.log" combined </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName develop4 DocumentRoot "c:\websites\develop4\web" ErrorLog "c:\websites\develop4\logs\error.log" CustomLog "c:\websites\develop4\logs\access.log" combined </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName develop5 DocumentRoot "c:\websites\develop5\web" ErrorLog "c:\websites\develop5\logs\error.log" CustomLog "c:\websites\develop5\logs\access.log" combined </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *> ServerName tools DocumentRoot "c:\websites\tools\web" ErrorLog "c:\websites\tools\logs\error.log" CustomLog "c:\websites\tools\logs\access.log" combined </VirtualHost> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After that you run the following to commands on the command prompt: net stop apache2.2-zend net start apache2.2-zend if all went well you now have 5 develop websites and a tool website. The only thing you now have to do is add the following lines to the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 develop1 127.0.0.1 develop2 127.0.0.1 develop3 127.0.0.1 develop4 127.0.0.1 develop5 127.0.0.1 tools Regards, Carlo / Hillie007
