Elastic Compute Service:Build the ThinkPHP framework

Procedure

1. Install PHP 8.0.

   Note

   ThinkPHP 8.0 requires PHP 8.0 or later.

   1. If your ECS instance runs Alibaba Cloud Linux 3, you can install the `compat-openssl10` dependency package.

      sudo yum install -y compat-openssl10

   2. Install PHP.

      Alibaba Cloud Linux 3/2

      1. Update the Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) source.

         sudo rpm -Uvh https://mirrors.aliyun.com/remi/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

      2. Enable the PHP 8.0 repository.

         sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php80

      3. Install PHP.

         sudo yum install -y php php-cli php-fpm php-common php-mysqlnd php-gd php-mbstring

      CentOS 7.x

      1. Update the YUM source.

         1. Install the EPEL source and the Remi repository.

            sudo yum install -y epel-release
            sudo yum install -y https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

         2. Enable the PHP 8.0 repository.

            sudo yum-config-manager --enable remi-php80

      2. Install PHP.

            sudo yum install -y php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-devel php-gd php-pecl-mcrypt php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear php-bcmath

   3. Check the PHP version.

      php -v

      The following output indicates that the installation is successful.

      PHP 8.0.30 (cli) (built: Aug  3 2023 17:13:08) ( NTS gcc x86_64 )
      Copyright (c) The PHP Group
      Zend Engine v4.0.30, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies           

2. Install Composer.

   Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP projects. It allows developers to define and manage required external dependencies and automatically handles the installation, updating, and loading of these dependencies. For more information, see the official Composer website.

   1. Install the dependencies required for Composer.

      sudo yum install -y unzip git

   2. Install Composer.

      curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
      sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

   3. Check the Composer version.

      composer --version

      The following output indicates that Composer is installed.

      

3. Install ThinkPHP.

   1. Use Composer to create a new ThinkPHP application.

      This command creates a directory named my-thinkphp-app in the current directory and downloads the ThinkPHP core files and dependencies.

      composer create-project topthink/think my-thinkphp-app

   2. Switch to the newly created ThinkPHP application directory and start the built-in ThinkPHP development server.

      cd my-thinkphp-app
      php think run

      The following output indicates that ThinkPHP has started.

      

   3. In the address bar of your local browser, enter http://<Public IP address of the ECS instance>:8000.

4. Configure the web server (production environment).

   In a production environment, you must use a web server, such as Apache or Nginx, to deploy your ThinkPHP application. You must also correctly configure the server's URL rewrite rules to ensure that the framework's routing works properly.

   Apache configuration example (mod_rewrite module enabled)

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
       RewriteEngine On
   
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,PT,L]
   </IfModule>
   

   Nginx configuration example

   location / {
       if (!-e $request_filename) {
          rewrite  ^(.*)$  /index.php?s=/$1  last;
          break;
       }
   }
