Installation for Windows

Please take note of the system requirements and install the neccessary components.

• add the path to your PHP-bin directory to the PATH variable
• activate the PHP extensions in your php.ini configuration file
• load the Apache module rewrite

# php.ini
extension=php_curl.dll
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
extension=php_gd2.dll
extension=php_intl.dll
extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
extension=php_pgsql.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll

# Windows: edit file httpd.conf (remove the comment-sign #) and restart apache
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Create the Apache alias. In Windows there are several ways. A clear way is to create a file mapbender3.conf and to refer to that file in Apaches httpd.conf

• Create a subfolder “alias” in the directory “<apache>/conf”. Create the mapbender3.conf file there. (You can use this directory to place additional Alias definition-files for other sites there.)
• In the httpd.conf (in directory <apache>/conf/)refer to this file mapbender3.conf

In httpd.conf:

# Refer to Mapbender3 alias
Include "conf/alias/mapbender3.conf"

In mapbender3.conf:

Alias /mapbender3 c:/mapbender3/web/
<Directory c:/mapbender3/web/>
 Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks
 DirectoryIndex app.php
 Require all granted

 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /mapbender3/
 RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php/$1 [PT,L,QSA]
</Directory>

Restart the Apache webserver and check that the Alias is accessible:

• http://localhost/mapbender3/

Open Symfony´s Welcome Script config.php. This script checks whether all necessary components are installed and configurations are done. If there are still problems, you should fix them.

• http://localhost/mapbender3/config.php

Adapt the Mapbender3 configuration file parameters.yml (app/config/parameters.yml) and define the database you want to create.

database_driver:   pdo_pgsql
database_host:     localhost
database_port:     5432
database_name:     mapbender3
database_path:     ~
database_user:     postgres
database_password: secret

Run the app/console commands with php. First you have to open a terminal (cmd).

c:
cd mapbender3
php.exe app/console doctrine:database:create
php.exe app/console doctrine:schema:create
php.exe app/console assets:install web
php.exe app/console fom:user:resetroot
php.exe app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --fixtures=./mapbender/src/Mapbender/CoreBundle/DataFixtures/ORM/Epsg/ --append
php.exe app/console doctrine:fixtures:load --fixtures=./mapbender/src/Mapbender/CoreBundle/DataFixtures/ORM/Application/ --append

Installation of Mapbender3 is done.

Check the config.php again:

• http://localhost/mapbender3/config.php

You can start using Mapbender3 now. You can open the developer mode when you run app_dev.php.

• http://localhost/mapbender3/app_dev.php

Notice: Go to the login link at the right-top and log in with the new user you created.
