Is it possible to have an application written in CakePhp version 2.5 and a new version using CakePhp
3 coexisting ? and sharing the authentication session ?
Just to try to migrating one module at once from version 2 to version 3 from an huge CakePHP aplication.
Can the two versions coexists for one single application ?
Anyone already tried and have some issues using this aproach ?
I’m doing a migration from 2 to 3 on an apache server at the moment. So far I have managed to make them coexist using a virtualhost with the root directory one level above both application directories, so that the structure is
/rootdir/
cakephp2site/
app/
webroot/
cakephp3site/
webroot/
Then, using a .htaccess file within rootdir, I have
To explain, my users controller is cakephp 3 ready, so anything with /users can be routes to the cakephp 3 application. Everything else goes to the cakephp 2 application until I’ve done the changes.
As for auth, if running on the same instance, the php cookie name is PHPSESSID for cakephp 2 and CAKEPHP by default in cakephp 3, but this can be renamed at the bottom of app.php with
'Session' => [
'defaults' => 'php',
'cookie' => 'PHPSESSID' //<-- add this line
],
