Getting Started

Configuring Cloud 9 for the SC Codes PHP Track

The HowTo may also be useful in setting up a VM profile (Docker / Homestead) image for later on.

Bits and Pieces

Making Apache work better with the Run Project button: Step 1: sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-cloud9.conf

Step 2: // Change this line DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/workspace

// To following DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/workspace/public

Git Aliases:

  • Easy access with c9 open ~/.gitconfig
  • Recommend adding the following:
[alias]
    ls = log --date=local --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h\\ %C(cyan)%ad%Cred%d\\ %Creset%s%Cblue"
    s = status
    a = add
    c = commit -m

Side note: git ls can take additional flags (like git ls -5 to limit the list to 5 items).

  • Also, running export TZ=EST will specify Eastern time in from git ls
  • You can add this to your ~/.bashrc if you don't want to remember it later.g

Installing PHP7.2:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php -y
sudo apt-get update -y

sudo apt install php7.2 php7.2-curl php7.2-cli php7.2-dev php7.2-gd php7.2-intl php7.2-json php7.2-mysql php7.2-opcache php7.2-bcmath php7.2-mbstring php7.2-soap php7.2-xml php7.2-zip -y

sudo mv /etc/apache2/envvars /etc/apache2/envvars.bak
sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-php5 -y
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0 -y
sudo cp /etc/apache2/envvars.bak /etc/apache2/envvars

Installing Composer:

  • Requires PHP first.
  • Install script from composer website: 
    php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '544e09ee996cdf60ece3804abc52599c22b1f40f4323403c44d44fdfdd586475ca9813a858088ffbc1f233e9b180f061') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
  • Make the install global (mirrors the CodeSchool usage): 
    sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Installing Laravel:

  • Requires composer first.
  • Use composer to install Laravel: 
    composer global require laravel/installer
  • Add Laravel install location to PATH for ease of use: 
    sed -i -e '$a\' ~/.bashrc
echo "" >> ~/.bashrc
echo '# Add composer packages to global PATH (mainly for Laravel)' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

TODO list

  • Explain the scripts line by line?
  • Add info on using the standard php -S server and php artisan serve on C9 (0.0.0.0:8080)
  • Explain how to use Run Project instead of php -S or php artisan serve
