This toolkit was written by a guy down the road over in Chapel Hill, it seems. The idea seems to be to generate and configure MVC-structured PHP code with RESTful web access. Supports multiple apps with one installation. Works for me.<\/p>\n

I grabbed the 0.20 release. It comes with a web-based front end that will mock up your initial application code. Unfortunately the javascript wasn’t working and it looked like it had a bad path to the embedded jquery library. Rather than kill myself researching, I switched to the git “edge” branch:<\/p>\n

cd development\/git\r\ngit clone http:\/\/github.com\/recess\/recess.git\r\n  Initialized empty Git repository in \/home\/m\/development\/git\/recess\/.git\/\r\ngit checkout master \r\n  Already on 'master'<\/code><\/pre>\n
Now it seems to be able to find its css and javascript.<\/p>\n
Next problem was with mod_rewrite.  It just wouldn’t work.  Time to troubleshoot<\/a>… and fixed.  In Recess’ defense, this was probably the reason the 0.20 release didn’t work well.<\/p>\n
Next, I went to create an app.  I had to change the permissions on the apps directory, as instructed, since I unzipped recess under a group for which apache did not have write access.<\/p>\n
Next, I cranked through a model for one of my apps.  WOW, now I have a full set of “routes”, URL’s with which to RESTfully access my model.  This is looking nice… to be continued…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
