brick / mortar

Skeleton application built on Brick

Mortar

Skeleton application for the Brick framework.

How to run it

First install the dependencies with composer:

cd /path/to/mortar
composer update

Method 1: using PHP's built-in web server

This is the quickest and easiest way to start playing with the application:

cd /path/to/mortar/public
php -S localhost:8000 index.php

Just point your browser to http://localhost:8000/ and you should get the welcome page.

Method 2: using Apache

To host permanently the application on your development machine, create a virtual host in httpd.conf pointing to the public directory:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mortar.localhost
    DocumentRoot /path/to/mortar/public

    # This ensures that the .htaccess directives will be taken into account
    <Directory "/path/to/mortar/public">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache, then create an entry for this virtual host in your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 mortar.localhost

Now point your browser to http://mortar.localhost/ and you should get the welcome page.
