The easy part...
Usually when migrating a ZF1 application from built-in auto-loading to composer based auto-loading (which is strongly recommended for deploying on CloudControls Pinky stack) you just need to take some simple steps:
Create a composer.json file and require Zend Framework (e.g. latest release from version 1.12) with:
{
"require" : {
"zendframework/zendframework1" : "1.12.*"
}
}
Install composer dependencies via CLI with:
composer install
Update your .gitignore file and add:
vendor/*
Recursively delete current ZF folder from your library path (e.g. ./library):
rm -r library/Zend
Include composer autoloader in your index.php before any usage of Zend_ classes by adding:
$loader = include 'vendor/autoload.php';
Remove every now obsolete ZF related require or require_once statements from your index.php - e.g. this is not needed anymore:
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';
Once you are done with the above changes you commit and push via git as normal and then you deploy the new version on CloudControl via CLI (where APP_NAME and DEP_NAME here refer to your app and deployment names):
cctrlapp APP_NAME/DEP_NAME deploy
You will notice that cctrlapp prints out some information about resolving composer dependencies and finally initiates the deployment of the new version. To check whether it is done you can run:
cctrlapp APP_NAME/DEP_NAME log deploy
Ok, deployment log looks fine – nice – let's open the browser!
What the f***! Internal server error? Why?? Everything worked well with the local LA(M)P stack!!!
