I have improved my Kohana 3.2.x installation steps.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
This guide will assume you have the following structure for your website:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
root\/html <!– public html folder<\/p>\n
root\/modules <!– kohana files<\/p>\n
root\/source <!– environment dependable files<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ready? here we go:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Create an empty git repository following this:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2. Create a submodule with Kohana's core using:<\/p>\n
$ git submodule add git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/core.git modules\/system<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3. Add all the modules you'll need:<\/p>\n
$ git submodule add git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/database.git modules\/database<\/p>\n
$ git submodule add git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/image.git modules\/image<\/p>\n
$ git submodule add git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/pagination.git modules\/pagination<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4. Initialize the submodules<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
$ git submodule init<\/code><\/pre>\nSubmodule 'modules\/database' (git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/database.git) registered for path 'modules\/database'
\n\tSubmodule 'modules\/image' (git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/image.git) registered for path 'modules\/image'
\n\tSubmodule 'modules\/pagination' (git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/pagination.git) registered for path 'modules\/pagination'
\n\tSubmodule 'modules\/system' (git:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/core.git) registered for path 'modules\/system'<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5. Commit these changes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n\n$ git commit -m <\/code>'Added initial submodules'<\/code><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
6. Create the bare minimum folder structure:<\/div>\n <\/div>\n$ mkdir -p modules\/application\/classes\/{controller,model}<\/div>\n$ mkdir -p modules\/application\/{config,views}<\/div>\n$ mkdir -p modules\/application\/{cache,logs}<\/div>\n$ chmod 0777 modules\/application\/{cache,logs}<\/div>\n$ echo '[^.]*' > modules\/application\/logs\/.gitignore<\/div>\n$ echo '[^.]*' > modules\/application\/cache\/.gitignore<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n7. Now we need index.php and bootstrap.php files:<\/p>\n
$ mkdir html<\/p>\n
$ wget http:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/kohana\/raw\/3.0\/master\/index.php -O html\/index.php<\/p>\n
$ wget http:\/\/github.com\/kohana\/kohana\/raw\/3.0\/master\/application\/bootstrap.php -O modules\/application\/bootstrap.php<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
8. Fix file paths on html\/index.php<\/p>\n
<?php<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
$application = '..\/modules\/application';
\n\t$modules = '..\/modules';
\n\t$system = '..\/modules\/system';<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
9. Change the default timezone<\/p>\n
<?php<\/p>\n
date_default_timezone_set('America\/Los_Angeles');<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kohana::init(array(<\/div>\n 'base_url' => '\/',<\/div>\n 'index_file' => '',<\/div>\n));<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n10. Add a default .htaccess<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/raw.github.com\/kohana\/kohana\/3.2\/master\/example.htaccess -O html\/.htaccess<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
