Hello all,
I was hired to develop an application that is now going to be sold as
a service. So customers pay a fee and we install an instance of the
application with their branding on our server.
I am figuring out how to install and manage the instances.
I plan is to share the cake and app folder among all the
installations, but create a unique webroot and config folder for each
client. The config folder is necessary so I can use a client-specific
database.php and define client-specific constants in the
bootstrap.php.
I was able to get a test working on my development box, but I had to
force my will upon cake a bit, and I want to know what you fellow
developers thought of my approach. Is there a better way?
WHAT I DID:
For this example, I am creating an instance for a client called foo
1. Create folder "foo"
2. Copied webroot of original app to foo folder
3. Copied config of original app to foo folder
4. In foo/webroot/index.php:
- i. changed ROOT to point to original app directory
- ii. added the line: define('CONFIGS',
dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).DS.'config'.DS);
- iii. added the line: define('APP_PATH',
dirname(dirname(__FILE__)).DS);
