Development Quickstart

Coupzaar is built in PHP using the Symfony framework.

Symfony requires a bit of configuration. You can set it up here:

• http://www.symfony-project.org/

I use NetBeans on OSX for my development. This is a great article on how to setup Symfony on NetBeans.

• http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/php/symfony-screencast.html

For the database, I'm using MySQL. If you need the URL for that you probably can't develop LAMP (since that's 25% of the name).

To setup the environment.

• Download NetBeans, Symfony, GitHub, MAMP (Mysql+Apache+Php 5.2)
• Create a mysql database called "coupzaar" mysql create database coupzaar

create database coupzaar;

• Clone the GitHub repository

git clone ssh://<yourname>@git.code.sf.net/p/coupzaar/code coupzaar-code</yourname>

• Import the bootstrap.sql database.

mysql import coupzaar < bootstrap.sql

• Point MAMP directory to the web/ folder under the project root.
• Pull up the homepage for Coupzaar here:
