Installation

1. Get a copy of the files in your machine

2. Run the install script located at ./scripts

3. Create the virtual hosts (one per module)

   <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected]

    ServerName frontend.zfs.local
    DocumentRoot PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/frontend
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All 
    </Directory>
    <Directory PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/frontend>
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-error.log
    
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn
    
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/frontend-access.log combined
   

   <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected]

    ServerName backoffice.zfs.local
    DocumentRoot PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/backoffice
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All 
    </Directory>
    <Directory PATH_TO_THE_PROJECT/public/backoffice>
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/backoffice-error.log
    
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
    # alert, emerg.
    LogLevel warn
    
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/backoffice-access.log combined
   

4. If you are working on a local machine add the servername to your local hosts file

   On *nix: echo 'frontend.zfs.local' >> /etc/hosts
On *nix: echo 'backoffice.zfs.local' >> /etc/hosts

That's it you can start now using the skeleton to build the next amazing app!
