Some developers went to Spain to combine work and holiday recently and got back with an outstanding cool software package, ready to use for OXID eShop but in general usable for any PHP project: the open source module installer “ioly”. Learn more about it in this blog post.
OXID decided to go for Symfony instead of using some other frameworks. Read why in this blog post.
Installing Apache, MySql and PHP on LinuxMint as a LAMP service is slightly different to Ubuntu. In this blog post I documented what I did to get it running in order to install OXID eShop on it.
If you are using Zend Guard to encrypt your PHP applications, you probably don’t want to update your server environment to PHP 5.3.0: Zend Guard (for encoding your PHP files) and Zend Optimizer (for decoding your PHP files) are not yet available for this PHP version and so upgrading should break your application.
