PhalconPHP is a web framework delivered as a C extension providing high performance and lower resource consumption.
Install it is easy if you have experience building PHP. There is a port for FreeBSD if you disagree compilations :)
In this post: Instal·lant una màquina blava - 4) PHP 5.4 you can view the apt-get install's mandatory to build PHP and other extensions.
The requirements are :
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php5-mysql gcc make
As explained in the README file:
Follow these instructions to generate a binary extension for your platform:
git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/build
export CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks"
phpize --clean
phpize
./configure --enable-phalcon
make
sudo make install
Add extension to your php.ini
extension=phalcon.so
Finally restart the webserver
To test it, you can install an example app: INVO
https://github.com/phalcon/invo
cd /var/www
git clone git://github.com/phalcon/invo.git
cd invo
echo 'CREATE DATABASE invo' | mysql -u root -p
cat schemas/invo.sql | mysql -u root -p invo
vi app/config/config.ini
[database]
host = localhost
username = root
password = *****
name = invo
