Phalcana Project

This is a starting point for your Phalcana base project and is meant as a template for you to add your code. This repository is not meant to be kept up to date with your project as the main components of the framework are loaded in via composer.

Requirements

• PHP 5.4+
• Phalcon

Installing with composer

composer create-project phalcana/project project-folder

Setting up vhost

The Phalcana project requires rewrite rules. Please find below examples for nginx and apache you get you started

nginx vhost

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name phalcana.com;
    root /var/www/phalcana;


    access_log /var/log/nginx/phalcana.com.access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/phalcana.com.error.log;

    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;

    location @rewrite {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php?_url=$1;
    }

    location ~ \.php {
        # try_files    $uri =404;

        fastcgi_index  /index.php;
        fastcgi_pass   unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;

        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_split_path_info       ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO       $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Apache .htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    # Replace with the directory of your installation
    RewriteBase /

    # Remove trailing slashes unless the directory exists
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)/$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [L,R=301]

    # Protect application and system root files from being viewed
    RewriteRule ^(?:app|modules|system|example.htaccess|README.md|bower.json|Gruntfile.js|composer.json|package.json|phalcana|phalcana.bat)\b.* index.php?_url=/$0 [QSA,L]


    # Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

    # Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL  [QSA,L]
    RewriteRule .* index.php?_url=/$0 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>
