Setting Up a ThinkPHP Framework

Overview

ThinkPHP, a free, open-source, fast, and simple object-oriented lightweight PHP development framework, is released under the Apache2 open source protocol and is designed for developing agile web applications and simple enterprise applications. This section guides you through the setup of ThinkPHP using an ECS running CentOS 7.2 on Huawei Cloud.

Prerequisites

• You have purchased an ECS and bound an EIP to it.
• The rule listed in the following table has been added to the security group that the target ECS belongs to. For details, see Adding a Security Group Rule.

  Table 1 Security group rules

  Direction	Priority	Action	Type	Protocol & Port	Source
  Inbound	1	Allow	IPv4	TCP: 22	0.0.0.0/0
  Inbound	1	Allow	IPv4	TCP: 443	0.0.0.0/0
  Inbound	1	Allow	IPv4	TCP: 8000	0.0.0.0/0

Resource Planning

Table 2 lists the resource configuration and software versions used in this practice. The commands and parameters may vary according to the hardware specifications or software versions you would use.

Procedure

4. Install ThinkPHP.
   1. Use Composer to create a new ThinkPHP application.

      Run the following command to create my-thinkphp-app in the current directory and download the core files and dependencies of ThinkPHP:

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

   2. Run the following commands to switch to the created directory and start the ThinkPHP built-in server for development:

      cd my-thinkphp-app
      php think run

      If information similar to the following is displayed, ThinkPHP has been started:
