Short apache config for PHP app development. You need this because you probably already have Apache installed, and I'm jealous of Ruby.

development_httpd.conf

# Load deez.
LoadModule alias_module       /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_alias.so
LoadModule authz_host_module  /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_authz_host.so
LoadModule dir_module         /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dir.so
LoadModule log_config_module  /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_log_config.so
LoadModule mime_module        /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_mime.so
LoadModule php5_module        /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
LoadModule rewrite_module     /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so

# Get down to bizness

# I don't always set the document root to the app's "public" directory,
# but when I do I delegate to the mod_rewrite rules in github.com/fixlr/heroku-php-template
DocumentRoot "./"

# Mi casa no es su casa.
<Directory "./">
  AllowOverride All
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from all
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

# Logggggs.
ErrorLog "logs/error_log"
TransferLog "logs/development_log"
LogLevel warn

LockFile "tmp/httpd.lock"
PidFile  "tmp/httpd.pid"

# Duh. Kinda the point of this whole thing...
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Usage

Run from the project's directory:

httpd -d . -f development_httpd.conf -k [start|restart|stop]

• logs/error_log is your friend.
• Still working on a development log, start/stop script, etc.

FORK AWAY!
