copied!<p>I'm using Kohana to develop a few websites and here are some tricks that I use to make sure that the websites are portable, as in I can just upload the files from my development environment into the server and have them running without having to modify anything:</p> <ol> <li><p>Use the same directory structure. For example in my case I put the Kohana core folders into <code><drive><somepath>/apps/kohana/system/</code> and <code><drive><somepath>/apps/kohana/modules/</code> on my local disk and <code>/apps/kohana/system/</code> and <code>/apps/kohana/modules/</code> on the server. Similarly, I set my local XAMPP htdocs to <code><drive><somepath>/public_html/</code> to follow the server setting of <code>/public_html</code>. That way I don't have to modify <code>index.php</code> when I upload it to the server. <strong>Use relative paths</strong>.</p></li> <li><p>Like kfederov suggested, use <code>url::base()</code> in all your src=".." in your templates. The way I do it is by assigning <code>$this->template->baseurl = url::base();</code> in my Controller_Template (I'm using Kohana 3 but the method is almost the same for Kohana 2.x) and use <code>{$baseurl}</code> in the Smarty templates (I highly recommend using Smarty template system -- you can find the module in the Kohana forum).</p></li> <li><p>Use the same database name, username and password in both development and server environment so that I don't have to modify <code>config/database.php</code>, obviously.</p></li> <li><p>If you are hosting multiple websites with different domains on the same hosting, obviously you cannot use <code>/public_html</code> as the document root for all but one of the websites. You most probably have to configure those non-primary domains to point to different folders, for example in my case I put them in <code>/hosted/*/</code> folders and configure my server cPanel accordingly. To duplicate this setting in your local environment, you need to use localhost subdomains, which requires you to modify <code>httpd.conf</code> and your HOSTS file accordingly, as below:</p> <ol> <li><p>Add Virtual Host in <code>httpd.conf</code>. e.g:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code><VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /path/to/hosted/coolwebsite ServerName coolwebsite.localhost </VirtualHost> </code></pre> </blockquote></li> <li><p>Add to your HOSTS file (<code>C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts</code> if under Windows):</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>127.0.0.1 coolwebsite.localhost </code></pre> </blockquote></li> <li><p>Now you use <code>http://coolwebsite.localhost/</code> to access the website on locally running web server for your development environment.</p></li> </ol></li> </ol> <p>Hope this helps!</p>
