- Clone the repository
- If you have phing, just run
phingto create all the default files needed and skip the following bits - Otherwise, you'll need to copy the following files manually
- build/configs/silverstripe/local.conf.sample.php to mysite/local.conf.php
- build/configs/silverstripe/htaccess.sample to ./.htaccess (note the extra . there)
- Edit mysite/local.conf.php to reflect appropriate DB settings. The following should work for SQLite
global $databaseConfig;
$databaseConfig = array(
"type" => "SQLiteDatabase",
"server" => "localhost",
"username" => "",
"password" => "",
"database" => "silverstripe",
);
Security::setDefaultAdmin('admin', 'admin');
// Email::setAdminEmail('[email protected]');
define('SS_LOG_FILE', dirname(__FILE__).'/'.basename(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))).'.log');
- Edit mysite/local.conf.php and update the 'defaultAdmin' settings
- Create the assets/ directory
- Create an _ss_environment.php file in the root folder with the following
// Set the $_FILE_MAPPING for running the test cases, it's basically a fake but useful
global $_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING;
$_FILE_TO_URL_MAPPING[dirname(__FILE__)] = 'http://localhost';
- Run dev/build : note that you will NEED to run with '?disable_perms=1' as a parameter to make sure the restrictedobjects module doesn't interfere with things
- All done!
