Legacy PHP Content Management System

This CMS was used to power several websites that were developed whilst I was technical lead at a small digital agency. I'm publishing it mainly for posterity and to serve as an example of my past work. I don't recommend it be used in production for future projects.

Installation

It's designed around a standard Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP stack.

Apache

Apache will need the rewrite module enabled.

Apache virtual host configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName legacycms.local
    DocumentRoot /path/to/legacycmsroot/public
 
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
 
    <Directory /path/to/legacycmsroot/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

PHP

PHP will need the MySQL PDO and GD extensions enabled.

Run composer install to install dependencies.

Rename application/config/config.example.ini to application/config/config.ini and change values accordingly.

Permissions

Create cache, assets, search/site-index directories and give write permissions to server.

Create Admin and Search Indexes

Run

php bin/install.php -e <admin-email> -p <admin-password>

This will create a super admin user with the alias admin with the email address and password as specified. The initial Lucene Search index will be created.
