Requirements

Full requirements can be found on the Requirements page.

TL;DR: supported PHP versions are 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0 (for dev use), using mod_php or php-fpm, and either MySQL 5.5/5.6 or MariaDB 5.5/10.0.

Manual Installation

For simplified installation, alternatively see our Docker Tools Beta instructions in doc/docker-compose/README.md.

1. Create a database

First, create a new database using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE <database> CHARACTER SET utf8;

2. Install ezplatform-demo

Run composer create-project to install the demo with required dependencies:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar create-project --no-dev ezsystems/ezplatform-demo

Installation will ask you for database credentials and secret token for Symfony, other settings can stay as default.

3. Install content

Next, run the following commands to install the demo and dump the assets:

php app/console ezplatform:install demo
php app/console assetic:dump --env=prod web

4. Configure virtual host

Recommended use

Configure virtual host by either taking examples from Nginx or Apache2 documentation, or by using provided script to generate from templates, for help see ./bin/vhost.sh -h, example:

./bin/vhost.sh --basedir=/var/www/ezplatform-demo \\
  --template-file=doc/apache2/vhost.template \\
  --host-name=ezplatform.demo \\
  | sudo tee /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ezplatform.demo.conf > /dev/null

Check and adapt the generated vhost config, and then restart Apache or Nginx. Note: If your web server is running as another user then owner of the files, change permissions to avoid issues.

Testing use

For just local testing without installing a full web-server, while slow you can also run PHP's built-in web server using the following command:

$ php app/console server:run

Note: While far from meant for production use, you can run the command above with --env=prod to disable debug.

Accessing the Demo

Your installation is now ready. You can access the demo using the following addresses (depending on the vhost configuration):

• Front office: http://ezplatform.demo
• Admin access: http://ezplatform.demo/ez (login: admin, default password: publish)
