Hybris: Location of items.xml

Once we create our own extension on hybris.

We can find the items.xml file inside:
HYBRIS_HOME/extensions/CUSTOMEXT/resources/CUSTOMEXT-item.xml

In this file, we need to go and add type and item attribute.

Hybris type are represent as java class. item as attribute.

Cake is a PHP web development framework which employs the MVC model. I will describe how to set it up on a win32-based machine.

First install xampp (the lite version is fine) which consists of Apache, PHP, and MySQL. The install process just copies some files to a specified folder.

Next, run “setup_xampp.bat” located on the root xampp folder.

After that open “httpd.conf” located on “apache\conf” folder. Then uncomment the line that contains “mod_rewrite”. This is needed to enable Cake’s pretty URL such as “http://localhost/cake/users/view” instead of “http://localhost/cake/index.php/users/view”.

Afterwards, extract Cake somewhere in the “htdocs” folder. I usually put it in “htdocs\cake”.

The last step is to copy “database.php.default” in “app\config” of Cake’s folder to “database.php”. Then change the “$default” variable to suit your database settings. An example is:

class DATABASE_CONFIG
{
  var $default = array('driver' => 'mysql',
     'connect' => 'mysql_connect',
     'host' => 'localhost',
     'login' => 'root',
     'password' => '',
     'database' => 'test',
     'prefix' => '');
}

Which works with the default MySQL in xampp.

To see if things are working properly, run “xampp-control.exe” in xampp’s root folder and then start Apache and MySQL from there:

After that point your browser to “http://localhost/[cake's root folder]” for example “http://localhost/cake”.

Here’s some goodies:

Cake 1.1.5.3148

Cake 1.1.6.3264. Cleaner???

To learn how to use it, read “The Cake Blog Tutorial” in CakePHP Manual.

Installing CakePHP on Ubuntu

1. Install Apache Server, MySQL, PHP

   sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5

2. Download CakePHP 1.2
   Go to http://cakephp.org and download latest cakephp. I downloaded cake_1.2.3.8166.tar.gz
3. Copy and extract to web root
   Open your terminal where you put cakephp you just downloaded.

   sudo cp cake_1.2.1.8004.tar.bz2 /var/www/
   cd /var/www
   sudo tar -xvf cake_1.2.3.8166.tar.gz
   sudo mv cake_1.2.3.8166 bulksms

4. Change tmp folder permisssion

   sudo chmod -R 777 bulksms/app/tmp

5. Enable mod-rewrite

   sudo a2enmod rewrite

6. Open file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

   sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

   
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
          AllowOverride None
          Order allow,deny
          allow from all
   

   to

   
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
          AllowOverride All
          Order allow,deny
          allow from all
   

7. Restart Apache

   sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

8. Open your browser and type address http://localhost/cakephp/ and you’ll see CakePHP message

apache2 could not determine fully qualified domain name

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName.

Solution: I created a file /etc/apache2/conf.d/fqdn with following line as content: ServerName localhost

And it works!!!
