Testing (Running)

Note: Do not enable dev mode in production

  • Run the following command in your project's directory to start PHPs built-in server:

    php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public

Running command composer serve will do the exact same, but the above is faster.

0.0.0.0 means that the server is open to all incoming connections 127.0.0.1 means that the server can only be accessed locally (localhost only) 8080 the port on which the server is started (the listening port for the server)

NOTE: If you are still getting exceptions or errors regarding some missing services, try running the following command

php bin/clear-config-cache.php

If config-cache.php is present that config will be loaded regardless of the ConfigAggregator::ENABLE_CACHE in config/autoload/mezzio.global.php

  • Open a web browser and visit http://localhost:8080/

You should see the DotKernel admin login page.

If you ran the migrations you will have an admin user in the database with the following credentials:

  • User: admin
  • Password: dotadmin

NOTE:

  • Production only: Make sure you modify the default admin credentials.

  • Development only: session.cookie_secure does not work locally so make sure you modify your local.php, as per the following:

    return [ 'session_config' => [ 'cookie_secure' => false, ] ];

Do not change this in local.php.dist as well because this value should remain true on production.
