KumbiaPHP is a simple and light PHP framework under the BSD license, that is, we can use it for our personal projects. The framework is used by many Spanish speaking people because it’s a Latin product. It has a documentation in English, in addition to current communication channels such as mailing lists and IRC.

Some advantages of installing and using KumbiaPHP

Under the premise of shortening development times, KumbiaPHP is a framework with the characteristic of being “Zero Config”. In other words, after you unzip it, you can start working. It’s that simple.

Clearer, more natural codes with fewer errors thanks to Helpers and other patterns to reduce the use of other languages.

Another very favorable aspect is that the learning curve is very short.

The framework has as its main premises to be easy to learn, simple to use, open source and everything without sacrificing quality and robustness. Supports 4 database handlers such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Oracle, which ensures that you can develop without worrying about the compatibility of your database.

So, let us do it.

Install KumbiaPHP on Debian 11 / Ubuntu 20.04

Before installing KumbiaPHP, you need to have PHP installed on your computer.

So, open a terminal and run the following:

:~$ sudo apt install php

Then, you should install a database manager such as MySQL, MariaDB or SQLite. So you can start in shape with the development of an application. The choice is all yours.

The next step is to download KumbiaPHP from the project’s website. At the time of writing this post, the latest stable version is 1.1.3 so check first which one it is.

Now, decompress it using the unzip command. If you have it, just install it:

:~$ sudo apt install unzip
:~$ unzip v1.1.5.zip

Then, it is convenient to rename the generated folder to a name related to our project. Or simply the name of our project.

:~$ mv KumbiaPHP-1.1.5/ example

Remember that you can replace example with the name of your project.

Now KumbiaPHP allows to serve the project in development mode without the need of having a web server installed. To do so, navigate to the project’s app folder.

:~$ cd ~/example/default/app

And from there, it starts serving the project in development mode.

:~$ bin/phpserver

Now, our project is available from any computer. And all you have to do is open your favorite web browser and check it out.

So, go to http://your-pc:8001 and you will see the following:

This indicates that KumbiaPHP is installed and ready to start development.

Conclusion

In conclusion we can say that web development tools are to reduce coding times. KumbiaPHP stands as a solid proposal for personal work and serious projects.

KumbiaPHP is quite easy to install and practically ready for work. While it is true that compared to other frameworks this has some shortcomings, the truth is that it also becomes very comfortable to work and maintain projects with it.

Hello, friends in this post, I’ll show you how to install KumbiaPHP on Debian 10.

KumbiaPHP is a simple and light PHP framework under the BSD license, that is, we can use it for our personal projects. The framework is used by many Spanish speaking people because it’s a Latin product. It has a documentation in English, in addition to current communication channels such as mailing lists and IRC.

Supports 4 database handlers such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Oracle, which ensures that you can develop without worrying about the compatibility of your database.

So, let us do it.

Install KumbiaPHP on Debian 10

KumbiaPHP is not very demanding. It only requires three things:

• A web server with rewrite support.
• PHP 5.4+.
• Supported Database Manager.

This indicates that it can be installed in Windows or MacOS.

So, the first thing we’ll do is install a LAMP server on Debian 10.

Once everything is in order, we will proceed to download and install KumbiaPHP.

First we will download it:

:~$ wget -c https://github.com/KumbiaPHP/KumbiaPHP/archive/master.tar.gz

Once the download is finished, unzip it and move it to the Apache root directory. In this case it is /var/www/html/.

:~$ tar -xzvf master.tar.gz
:~$ sudo mv KumbiaPHP-master/ /var/www/html/kumbia/

Then, change the folder permissions so that they can be interpreted correctly by the browser.

:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/

Now we have to make some changes for the browser rewrite the KumbiaPHP URL. This step is vital. For this tutorial, I’m using Apache. So first we modify the configuration of the default enabled site:

:~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

And we added / modified the following:

<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Save the changes and close the file.

Now enable Apache’s rewrite module:

:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Finally, open your favorite web browser and go to http://localhost/kumbia. If you see the following, then everything is well done.

So, KumbiaPHP is correctly installed. Note that it is a Latin framework, but easy to learn for everybody.

KumbiaPHP is a simple and light PHP framework under the BSD license, that is, we can use it for our personal projects. The framework is used by many Spanish speaking people because it’s a Latin product. It has a documentation in English, in addition to current communication channels such as mailing lists and IRC.

Why KumbiaPHP? Here the reasons

Under the premise of shortening development times, KumbiaPHP is a framework with the characteristic of being “Zero Config”. In other words, after you unzip it, you can start working. It’s that simple.

Clearer, more natural codes with fewer errors thanks to Helpers and other patterns to reduce the use of other languages.

Another very favorable aspect is that the learning curve is very short.

The framework has as its main premises to be easy to learn, simple to use, open source and everything without sacrificing quality and robustness. Supports 4 database handlers such as Mysql, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Oracle, which ensures that you can develop without worrying about the compatibility of your database.

Install KumbiaPHP

To install the framework in our favorite GNU/LINUX distribution, you need, logically, a web server and a user who can execute commands as root.

In this tutorial, I will use Ubuntu 18.04, but you can also follow these steps for its derivatives, and Linux Mint 19.

1. Installing Apache web server

First of all, you need a web server. KumbiaPHP supports the most popular servers like Apache and Nginx. I will use Apache for this tutorial.

Open a terminal and run:

:~$ sudo apt install apache2

Next, enable apache to boot into the system.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2
:~$ sudo systemctl start apache2

Important to realize that you have to go to the web browser and access localhost to verify that everything is in order.

http://localhost

If you manage to see that page in your browser, apache was installed correctly.

2. Now PHP’s turn

KumbiaPHP requires at least PHP 5.4, which means that almost any supported distribution is perfect to run. Let’s get to it.

:~$ sudo apt install php7.0 php7.0-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-zip php7.0-curl php7.0-gd

Now, check that PHP is working properly. Make a text file in /var/www/html/called test.php and put the following in it:

:~$ sudo nano /var/www/html/test.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Then, try to access it from your browser. With this, you will know if PHP is being correctly interpreted. Go to the web browser.

3. Install MariaDB

Finally, install MariaDB:

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

Configure it, using mysql_secure_installation:

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

There you will define the root key and it will ask you some questions. Answer Y, N, Y, Y.

4.- Installing KumbiaPHP

Go to the download section and choose the latest version available.

Then decompress it and rename it to KumbiaPHP.

:~$ tar -xzvf Downloads/KumbiaPHP-master.tar.gz
:~$ mv KumbiaPHP-master/ KumbiaPHP

Next, change the owner of the Apache folder and assign permissions to it.

:~$ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/html/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/

Now move it to the apache folder, /var/www/html

:~$ mv KumbiaPHP/ /var/www/html/

The KumbiaPHP Framework uses a module for rewriting URLs making them more understandable and easier to remember in our applications. For this reason, you need to enable mod_rewrite module.

In the first place, run:

:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

Now, you must edit the configuration file of the enabled virtual host, to finish enabling the rewrite.

:~$ nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

And at the end, add the following:

<Directory "DocumentRoot">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Replace “DocumentRoot” with the full path. In my case, /var/www/html/

And finally, restart Apache.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now, go to your web browser and log in with localhost/KumbiaPHP.If you see this screen, then you have installed it correctly.

Like I said, it’s a Latin framework, but it’s easy to learn. Have a look at its documentation in English

In conclusion we can say that web development tools are to reduce coding times. KumbiaPHP stands as a solid proposal for personal work and serious projects.
