Server Requirements
See how the travis.yml file is configured for Travis-CI's continuous integration of automated unit and functional testing.
- PHP5.6+ [with cli, PDO, PDO-MySQL, GD]
- Apache2.2.24+ [with rewrite]
- MySQL 5.5.27+
- MapServer 7.2.0 [with PROJ, GDAL, GEOS, Cairo]
- Composer
Configuration Instructions
- Download shapefiles from Natural Earth Data, http://www.naturalearthdata.com/ and extract into mapserver/maps/. Adjust Apache read permissions as necessary.
- Rename and adjust:
- config/conf.php.sample => config/conf.php
- config/phinx.yml.sample => config/phinx.yml
- config/shapefiles.yml.sample => config/shapefiles.yml
- Adjust config/conf.test.php used during execution of tests
- If you wish to use Janrain's OpenID authentication system, sign-up at http://rpxnow.com and replace the RPX_KEY in config/conf.php
- The jQuery-based front-end assumes clean URLs and operates in a RESTful fashion. Configure mod_rewrite as follows:
Apache Rewrite Configuration
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mydomain.net
ServerAlias mydomain.net
DocumentRoot /path/to/your/root
<Directory "/path/to/your/root">

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Verify that mapserv is working
$ mapserv -v
-
Add extension=php_mapscript.so to php.ini (if not already there) and restart web server
Unix-based Server
See the useful guide on MapServer.
Internationalization
The following two commands make a messages.po file (by reading the index.php file) then a binary messages.mo file from a messages.po file as input. Both need to be moved to relevant i18n directory such as i18n/fr_FR.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES. You'll need to translate the strings in messages.po before making the binary of course. Whenever any string is changed in any messages.po file, the messages.mo file must be generated and Apache must be restarted because translated strings are enumerated into memory when the application first loads.
$ xgettext -n index.php
$ msgfmt messages.po
Alternatively, you can use the ruby utility, crawler.rb from the /i18n directory to make a messages.po file and move it to i18n/fr_FR.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES.
$ cd i18n
$ ruby crawler.rb ../views
Dependencies
Install all necessary application dependencies using composer and update them as required.
$ composer install
$ composer update
Database
SimpleMappr uses MySQL and phinx for migrations. A sample schema is included in /db and migrations are stored in /db/migrations. Create MySQL databases simplemappr, simplemappr_development and simplemappr_testing. Use /db/sample.db.sql to create tables.
$ ./vendor/bin/phinx migrate -c config/phinx.yml -e development
Tests
PHPUnit is used for unit tests and Selenium and Facebook's php-webdriver are used for integration tests. Composer is used to include dependencies. The Firefox Gecko driver can be downloaded here.
$ java -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=/usr/local/bin/geckodriver -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar
$ BROWSER=firefox ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c Tests/phpunit.xml --stderr
If you wish to use Chrome instead of FireFox, the Selenium Chromedriver can be found at http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html:
$ java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=/usr/local/bin/chromedriver -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-3.9.1.jar
$ BROWSER=chrome ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c Tests/phpunit.xml --stderr
Tests are split into suites entitled, "Unit", "Functional", "Binary", "Router"
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit -c Tests/phpunit.xml --testsuite "Unit" --stderr
JavaScript Minification
JavaScript files are minified using Google's Closure Compiler as follows:
$ java -jar compiler.jar --js simplemappr.js --js_output_file simplemappr.min.js
