Setup webzash with cakephp from scratch - github repo

1. Download CakePHP version 2.10.14 from the below link

https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/archive/2.10.14.tar.gz

NPriya@ODCGZM42SH MINGW64 /c/Bitnami/wampstack-7.2.22-0/apache2/htdocs/webzashfrmscratch
$ tar -xzf cakephp-2.10.14.tar.gz

NPriya@ODCGZM42SH MINGW64 /c/Bitnami/wampstack-7.2.22-0/apache2/htdocs/webzashfrmscratch
$ ls
cakephp-2.10.14/  cakephp-2.10.14.tar.gz

NPriya@ODCGZM42SH MINGW64 /c/Bitnami/wampstack-7.2.22-0/apache2/htdocs/webzashfrmscratch
$

2. Extract CakePHP into your web server directory and rename the folder
to "webzash"

Webpage after installing cakephp 2.10.14

3. Edit the app/Config/core.php file and change the following lines

Configure::write('Security.salt', 'IMPORTANT_CHANGE_THIS_VALUE');
 
Configure::write('Security.cipherSeed', 'IMPORTANT_CHANGE_THIS_VALUE');
 
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

After changing security.salt

4. Copy the app/Config/database.php.default file to app/Config/database.php
use phpmysql to create database "webzashfrmscratch"

Before changes:

public $default = array(
        'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
        'persistent' => false,
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'login' => 'user',
        'password' => 'password',
        'database' => 'database_name',
        'prefix' => '',
        //'encoding' => 'utf8',

    );

After changes:

public $default = array(
  'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
  'persistent' => false,
  'host' => '127.0.0.1',
  'login' => 'root',
  'password' => 'r978867',
  'database' => 'webzashfrmscratch',
  'prefix' => '',
  //'encoding' => 'utf8',
 );

Screenshot after including database details

'port' => '3307',

5. Edit the app/Config/bootstrap.php file and add the following lines

CakePlugin::load('BoostCake');
CakePlugin::load('Webzash', array('routes' => true, 'bootstrap' => true));

6. Edit the app/Config/routes.php file and comment out the default route

// Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home'));
// Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display'));

Installing bitnami wamp stack

•  Copy webzash-v2.8.zip in the htdoc folder

C:\Bitnami\wampstack-7.2.22-0\apache2\htdocs

• Extract the zip file which will have the folder name cakephp-2.10.14

git cheatsheet with screenshot - basic - used git for windows

• Distributed version Control system(VCS) or Source control management(SCM)
• Allows collaboration of work between multiple developers
• Keeps signature of who did what and when
• Deals with local as well as remote repo

git init //initialize local git repo - will create .git folder

with no other info given output of the

git status and git show

adding two files to local repo(used touch cmd and vi editor to edit the file)

git status

add file(s) to index/staging area before commit

git add <file>

to unstage the file

git rm --cached <file>

to add all files

git add .

commit changes in index

git commit -m 'comment/message'

create branch

git branch <branch name>
git branch branch1

to change to the branch from master

git checkout <branch name>
git checkout branch1

git branch                 // list branches
git branch -a                   //list all branches
git branch -d <branch name> //delete branch

to merge the branch changes to master(checkedout in master)

git merge -m "message" <branch name>

git show  //shows author, email id and where the head is point(master or branch)
git show-branch

Remote repo

git push //push to remote repo

At the time of copying the github repo URL for cloning, showed following error

$ git clone –https://github.com/librelab/yaap.git
Cloning into 'yaap'...
fatal: protocol '–https' is not supported

it was because of pasting it using cntrl + v on the mingw64 terminal which inserts a hidden ^?

use the right click - paste         //to paste the correct URL

git pull //pull latest from remote repo
git clone //clone repo in a new dir

Installing git for windows - Minimalist GNU for windows - mingw64

Use git for windows (https://gitforwindows.org), to access git version control on windows.
Installation is a straight forward process.
It's released under GPL v2.

By default it uses vim as the editor

Look and feel of mingw64

Setting up Bitnami WAMP stack for webzash(cakephp) on Win10

It's a straight forward task(screenshot included) even with antivirus @ bg.

It supports various framework, intend to make use of Cakephp (MVC approach)

Remeber the MySQL root pwd

Remember the ports for Apache web server and MySQL(how to get that info using manager-windows.exe, see below)

Launch the WAMP stack - 127.0.0.1:81/index.html

phpmyadmin(web interface) module will alow easy access to MySQL - 127.0.0.1:81/phpmyadmin

One can access the graphical manager tool to start/stop/restart and know port info of the services

It's in the installation dir
