Running the application

We recommend running your applications in WSL:

• make sure you have WSL installed on your system
• currently we provide a distro implementations for AlmaLinux9
• install the application in a virtualhost as recommended by the chosen distro
• set $baseUrl in config/autoload/local.php to the address of the virtualhost
• run the application by opening the virtualhost address in your browser

You should see the DotKernel Frontend welcome page.

NOTE:

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

sudo 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

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

# other code

return [
    # other configurations...
    'session_config' => [
        'cookie_secure' => false,
    ],
];

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