Installing CakePHP with Composer (Apache2 VirtualHost)

Need Help
1

Hello,

I’m sorry, I speak a little English.

My /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.com.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName example.com
	DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/webroot/
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
	<Directory "/var/www/example.com/webroot/">
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride All
		Order Allow,Deny
		Allow from all
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

It works:

a2ensite example.com.conf
a2enmod rewrite
systemctl reload apache2

How can I install CakePHP? I haven’t used a Composer yet. I’m using Debian and Apache2.

I’m a beginner. Please help me.

What, if anything, is in /var/www/example.com right now?

1 folder in: /var/www/example.com

The folder name webroot and only have 1 index.html file:

/var/www/example.com/webroot/index.html

Only 1 line this file for testing.

Have you tried following the installation instructions? If so, what problem did you encounter with that process? (If not, why not?)

Solved. This is my first time with Composer.

wget -O composer-setup.php https://getcomposer.org/installer
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
sudo composer self-update
rm composer-setup.php
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:~4.3 /var/www/example.com
