.. include:: /_includes/all.rst .. _example_setup_craftcms: ************** Setup CraftCMS ************** This example will use ``composer`` to install CraftCMS from within the Devilbox PHP container. After completing the below listed steps, you will have a working CraftCMS setup ready to be served via http and https. .. seealso:: |ext_lnk_example_craftcms_documentation| **Table of Contents** .. contents:: :local: Overview ======== The following configuration will be used: +--------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | Project name | VirtualHost directory | Database | TLD_SUFFIX | Project URL | +==============+==========================+=============+============+===============================================+ | my-craft | /shared/httpd/my-craft | my_craft | loc | http://my-craft.loc |br| https://my-craft.loc | +--------------+--------------------------+-------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------+ .. note:: * Inside the Devilbox PHP container, projects are always in ``/shared/httpd/``. * On your host operating system, projects are by default in ``./data/www/`` inside the Devilbox git directory. This path can be changed via :ref:`env_httpd_datadir`. Walk through ============ It will be ready in eight simple steps: 1. Enter the PHP container 2. Create a new VirtualHost directory 3. Install CraftCMS via ``composer`` 4. Symlink webroot directory 5. Add MySQL database 6. Setup DNS record 7. Run setup wizard 8. Visit http://my-craft.loc in your browser 1. Enter the PHP container -------------------------- All work will be done inside the PHP container as it provides you with all required command line tools. Navigate to the Devilbox git directory and execute ``shell.sh`` (or ``shell.bat`` on Windows) to enter the running PHP container. .. code-block:: bash host> ./shell.sh .. seealso:: * :ref:`enter_the_php_container` * :ref:`work_inside_the_php_container` * :ref:`available_tools` 2. Create new vhost directory ----------------------------- The vhost directory defines the name under which your project will be available. |br| ( ``.TLD_SUFFIX`` will be the final URL ). .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ mkdir my-craft .. seealso:: :ref:`env_tld_suffix` 3. Install CraftCMS ------------------- Navigate into your newly created vhost directory and install CraftCMS with ``composer``. .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd $ cd my-craft devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-craft $ composer create-project craftcms/craft craftcms How does the directory structure look after installation: .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-craft $ tree -L 1 . └── craftcms 1 directory, 0 files 4. Symlink webroot ------------------ Symlinking the actual webroot directory to ``htdocs`` is important. The web server expects every project's document root to be in ``/htdocs/``. This is the path where it will serve the files. This is also the path where your frameworks entrypoint (usually ``index.php``) should be found. Some frameworks however provide its actual content in nested directories of unknown levels. This would be impossible to figure out by the web server, so you manually have to symlink it back to its expected path. .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-craft $ ln -s craftcms/web/ htdocs How does the directory structure look after symlinking: .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-craft $ tree -L 1 . ├── craftcms └── htdocs -> craftcms/web 2 directories, 0 files As you can see from the above directory structure, ``htdocs`` is available in its expected path and points to the frameworks entrypoint. 5. Add MySQL Database --------------------- .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-craft $ mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p -e 'CREATE DATABASE my_craft CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;' 6. DNS record ------------- If you **have** Auto DNS configured already, you can skip this section, because DNS entries will be available automatically by the bundled DNS server. If you **don't have** Auto DNS configured, you will need to add the following line to your host operating systems ``/etc/hosts`` file (or ``C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc`` on Windows): .. code-block:: bash :caption: /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 my-craft.loc .. seealso:: * :ref:`howto_add_project_hosts_entry_on_mac` * :ref:`howto_add_project_hosts_entry_on_win` * :ref:`setup_auto_dns` 7. Run setup wizard ------------------- After everything is setup, you need to run the setup wizard. CraftCMS bundles a commandline tool that you can use. 7.1 Via command line tool ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: bash devilbox@php-7.0.20 in /shared/httpd/my-craft $ php craftcms/craft setup Which database driver are you using? [mysql,pgsql,?]: mysql Database server name or IP address: [localhost] 127.0.0.1 Database port: [3306] Database username: [root] Database password: Database name: my_craft Database table prefix: Testing database credentials... success! Saving database credentials to your .env file... done Install Craft now? (yes|no) [yes]: Username: [admin] Email: admin@devilbox.org Password: Confirm: Site name: craftcms Site URL: [@web] my-craft.loc Site language: [en-US] ... *** installed Craft successfully (time: 14.660s) 7.2 Via browser ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you do not feel too comfortable on the command line, you can also run the setup wizard via the browser. See their official documentation for screenshots. .. seealso:: |ext_lnk_example_craftcms_documentation| To open the setup wizard, visit: http://my-craft.loc/admin/install or https://my-craft.loc/admin/install * Driver: ``MySQL`` * Server: ``127.0.0.1`` * Port: ``3306`` * Username: ``root`` * Password: your MySQL password * Database Name: ``my_craft`` * Prefix: leave empty .. important:: When chosing the Database server, use ``127.0.0.1`` as the hostname. 8. Open your browser -------------------- All set now, you can visit http://my-craft.loc or https://my-craft.loc in your browser. .. seealso:: :ref:`setup_valid_https`
