Kohana 3.2.x: How to install taking advantage of submodules

By | |

I have improved my Kohana 3.2.x installation steps.

This new way takes advantages of submodules with Git thus making your life easier when upgrading to a new version, assuming it's backwards compatible.

This guide will assume you have the following structure for your website:

 

root/html   <!– public html folder

root/modules   <!– kohana files

root/source   <!– environment dependable files

 

 

Ready? here we go:

 

1. Create an empty git repository following this:

 

 

2. Create a submodule with Kohana's core using:

$ git submodule add git://github.com/kohana/core.git modules/system

 

3. Add all the modules you'll need:

$ git submodule add git://github.com/kohana/database.git modules/database

$ git submodule add git://github.com/kohana/image.git modules/image

$ git submodule add git://github.com/kohana/pagination.git modules/pagination

 

4. Initialize the submodules

 

$ git submodule init

Submodule 'modules/database' (git://github.com/kohana/database.git) registered for path 'modules/database'
Submodule 'modules/image' (git://github.com/kohana/image.git) registered for path 'modules/image'
Submodule 'modules/pagination' (git://github.com/kohana/pagination.git) registered for path 'modules/pagination'
Submodule 'modules/system' (git://github.com/kohana/core.git) registered for path 'modules/system'

 

5. Commit these changes

 





$ git commit -m 'Added initial submodules'


 


 




 


6. Create the bare minimum folder structure:


 


$ mkdir -p modules/application/classes/{controller,model}


$ mkdir -p modules/application/{config,views}


$ mkdir -p modules/application/{cache,logs}


$ chmod 0777 modules/application/{cache,logs}


$ echo '[^.]*' > modules/application/logs/.gitignore


$ echo '[^.]*' > modules/application/cache/.gitignore


 


 


7. Now we need index.php and bootstrap.php files:


$ mkdir html


$ wget http://github.com/kohana/kohana/raw/3.0/master/index.php -O html/index.php


$ wget http://github.com/kohana/kohana/raw/3.0/master/application/bootstrap.php -O modules/application/bootstrap.php


 


 


8. Fix file paths on html/index.php


<?php


 


$application = '../modules/application';

	$modules = '../modules';

	$system = '../modules/system';


 


9. Change the default timezone


<?php


date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');


 


Kohana::init(array(


        'base_url'   => '/',


        'index_file' => '',


));


 


 


10. Add a default .htaccess


wget  https://raw.github.com/kohana/kohana/3.2/master/example.htaccess -O html/.htaccess
