How to deploy ThinkPHP locally and on the server

ThinkPHP is a web application framework developed using the PHP programming language. Due to its componentized design, convenient data access functions and easy deployment, ThinkPHP has become one of the most popular frameworks for PHP developers. This article will introduce how to deploy ThinkPHP locally and on the server.

Local deployment

1. Download and install PHP
Before deploying ThinkPHP locally, you need to download and install PHP on your computer. You can install it through the following steps:

• Go to the official PHP website (https://www.php.net/) to download the latest version of PHP.
• Extract the downloaded file to a specified folder.
• Add the PHP folder to the system's environment variables to use PHP's command line program.

2. Download and decompress ThinkPHP
You can download the latest version of ThinkPHP from the official ThinkPHP website (https://www.thinkphp.cn/). Once the download is complete, unzip the zip file into the desired directory.

3. Configure virtual host
Configuring virtual host locally is to facilitate access to local websites. The following are the steps on how to configure a virtual host:

• Open the configuration file of the Apache server, usually in "httpd.conf" or "httpd-vhosts.conf".
• Add the following content:

<virtualhost>
    ServerName your_domain.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/path/to/your/document/root"
    <directory>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </directory>
</virtualhost>

4. Modify the ThinkPHP configuration file
In ThinkPHP, the configuration file is "application/config.php". Open the file and modify it as follows:

• Specify the application mode as "develop" to facilitate development.
• Configure the "database" section to your own database.

5. Run ThinkPHP
You can enter the address of the virtual host in the browser to run ThinkPHP. For example: http://localhost:8000/

Server deployment

1. Purchase and install cloud server
Before deploying ThinkPHP on the server, you need to purchase a cloud server. You can buy an Amazon AWS server, Google Cloud server, or a server provided by other cloud service providers. After purchasing and installing the server, you need to follow the following steps to configure it:

• Install Apache and MySQL servers.
• Configure the web server as a virtual server.
• Install PHP and Apache PHP modules.

Note: The above steps will vary depending on different operating systems.

2. Download and decompress ThinkPHP
Downloading and decompressing ThinkPHP is similar to when deploying locally. Just decompress ThinkPHP to the directory of the server.

3. Modify the ThinkPHP configuration file
Modifying the ThinkPHP configuration file on the server is similar to local deployment. Modify the configuration information in the "application/config.php" file.

4. Deploy the application
You can deploy your application by following these steps:

• Create your web application.
• Upload the application to the server.
• Add the application's directory to the virtual host's document root.

5. Run ThinkPHP
Run ThinkPHP on the server. You can enter the address of the virtual host in the browser to access it.
