<span><a name="welcome"></a><h2 class="title">Welcome To Trax!</h2><a name="welcome.welcome-what"></a><h3 class="title">What Is Trax?</h3><p>Trax is an open source software package designed to speed the |
|---|
| 323 |
development of the type of web site that is built around a |
|---|
| 324 |
database. Trax is a <a href="http://www.php.net">PHP</a> and |
|---|
| 325 |
<a href="http://httpd.apache.org">Apache</a> port of |
|---|
| 326 |
<a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org">Ruby on Rails</a>, |
|---|
| 327 |
which is well described in the book |
|---|
| 328 |
<a href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/rails">Agile Web Development with Rails</a>.</p> |
|---|
| 329 |
<p>Trax uses the popular |
|---|
| 330 |
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-View-Controller">Model-View-Controller</a> |
|---|
| 331 |
design pattern. It helps you develop web sites faster by |
|---|
| 332 |
automating the common development steps, and by using naming |
|---|
| 333 |
conventions instead of explicit configuration. This is done in a |
|---|
| 334 |
way that permits you to do further customization by hand where the |
|---|
| 335 |
standard Trax methods don't meet your needs.</p><hr /> |
|---|
| 336 |
<a name="welcome.welcome-who"></a><h3 class="title">Who Is Trax For?</h3><p>Trax is designed to be used by programmers who have a good |

working knowledge of |

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming">object-oriented programming</a> |

|---|
| 346 |
<a name="welcome.welcome-platform"></a><h3 class="title">What Do I Need To Run Trax?</h3><p>Trax requires <a href="http://www.php.net">PHP</a> 5, the |
|---|
| 347 |
<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache web server</a> and a relational |
|---|
| 348 |
DBMS such as <a href="http://www.mysql.com/">MySQL</a> or another DBMS |
|---|
| 349 |
supported by the |
|---|
| 350 |
<a href="http://pear.php.net/package/DB">PEAR DB class</a>. Apache must |
|---|
| 351 |
be configured to allow Trax to use |
|---|
| 352 |
<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a> |
|---|
| 353 |
and to support PHP 5 with |
|---|
| 354 |
<a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.apache.php">mod_php</a>. |
|---|
| 355 |
PHP 5 must also be available from the command line.</p> |
|---|
| 356 |
|
|---|
| 357 |
<p>To verify that PHP 5 is available from the command |
|---|
| 358 |
line, type: |
|---|
| 359 |
<pre class="example">$ <strong>php --version</strong> |
|---|
| 360 |
PHP 5.0.4 (cli) (built: Nov 8 2005 08:27:12) |
|---|
| 361 |
...</pre> |
|---|
| 362 |
The version must be at least 5.0.3</p> |
|---|
| 363 |
|
|---|
| 364 |
<p>To verify that PHP 5 is available as an Apache module, |
|---|
| 365 |
create the one-line program below and install it somewhere in the |
|---|
| 366 |
Apache document root: |
|---|
| 367 |
<pre class="example"><?php phpinfo() ?></pre> |
|---|
| 368 |
When you browse to this program, you will see a page that |
|---|
| 369 |
describes the Apache PHP installation (if any).</p><hr /> |
|---|

<a name="welcome.welcome-how"></a><h3 class="title">How Do I Install Trax?</h3><p>Download the Trax |
|---|
| 371 |
<a href="http://www.phpontrax.com/downloads/PHPonTrax-199svn.tgz">PEAR-installable package</a> |
|---|
| 372 |
into a convenient working directory, then install it with the |
|---|
| 373 |
command: |
|---|
| 374 |
<pre class="example">$ <strong>pear install -o PHPonTrax-</strong><span class = "tute-comment">release</span><strong>.tgz</strong></pre> |
|---|
| 375 |
You will probably need to run this command as the superuser. The |
|---|
| 376 |
<strong>-o</strong> switch tells PEAR to also load any |
|---|
| 377 |
required PEAR modules that are not already installed. The |
|---|
| 378 |
<span class="cmd-title">pear config-show</span> command will show you where |
|---|
| 379 |
your PEAR library is installed: |
|---|
| 380 |
<pre class="example">$ <strong>pear config-show</strong> |
|---|
| 381 |
CONFIGURATION: |
|---|
| 382 |
============== |
|---|
| 383 |
PEAR executables directory bin_dir ... |
|---|
| 384 |
PEAR documentation directory doc_dir ... |
|---|
| 385 |
PEAR directory php_dir ... |
|---|
| 386 |
PEAR data directory data_dir ... |
|---|
| 387 |
PEAR test directory test_dir ... |
|---|
| 388 |
...</pre></p> |
|---|
| 389 |
<p>Trax stores its documentation in |
|---|
| 390 |
<span class = "tute-comment">doc_dir</span>/PHPonTrax/doc/ in HTML. |
|---|
| 391 |
To read the documentation, browse to |
|---|
| 392 |
file://<span class = "tute-comment">doc_dir</span>/PHPonTrax/doc/index.html</p> |
|---|
| 393 |
|
|---|
| 394 |
<p>You should verify correct installation by changing to directory |
|---|
| 395 |
<span class = "tute-comment">test_dir</span>/PHPonTrax/test/ and |
|---|
| 396 |
running the command <span class="cmd-title">php runtests.php</span>. All |
|---|
| 397 |
tests should complete without failure. Also verify that the |
|---|
| 398 |
<span class="cmd-title">trax</span> command is available from the command line.</p> |
|---|
| 399 |
|
|---|
| 400 |
<p>If PHP was installed on your system without PEAR, |
|---|
| 401 |
<a href="http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php">install it</a>.</p> |
|---|
| 402 |
|
|---|
| 403 |
<p>If you are installing Trax on a shared host where you do not |
|---|
| 404 |
have authorization to install in the system PEAR module library, |
|---|
| 405 |
the best approach is to build a |
|---|
| 406 |
<a href="http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.shared.php">local PEAR copy</a> |
|---|
| 407 |
and install Trax there.</p><hr /></span></div> |
