Use the wiki to describe common usage patterns

Open fpoirotte opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

I noticed most people using phpfarm do not use it the way I thought they would/should. I think it's important to document common usage patterns. The github wiki may be a good place to start.

Things I'd like to see documented:

  • Customizing the options: most people tend to fork the repository and edit the scripts. This is however not required.
  • Installing PEAR packages.
  • Compiling PECL extensions. While there have been several documented ways to compile PECL extensions in the original project (http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/phpfarm-install-extensions.htm, cweiske/phpfarm#1, etc.), people still struggle with that. In most cases, compiling a PECL extension requires only a single command.
  • Managing versions / getting rid of old versions.

Feel free to suggest other topics you'd like to see documented too.

Probably would be also good to add script to remove old version (specified as argument) with post-remove.sh script to get rid of stuff added in post-install.sh
