LiveDocx in PHP

Following the recent release of Debian Installer 7.0 Beta4, I was eager to test the latest version of Zend Framework 2 – running LiveDocx 2.1 – on the most current testing release of Debian.

I am very happy to say that all demo applications and unit tests run without issue.

You can download the virtual machine, upon which I performed the tests and which is designed to get you up and running with LiveDocx in a matter of minutes, using the following link:

• Download ZendService_LiveDocx_VM_20121203.zip (430 MB).

IMPORTANT: This release of Debian is intended for testing only. Please do not (yet) install it in a production environment.

The Debian 7.0 Wheezy based virtual machine ships with the following users:

username: root
password: livedocx
 
username: livedocx
password: livedocx

ZendService_LiveDocx is installed in:

/home/livedocx/ZendService_LiveDocx

The demo applications, which illustrate all of LiveDocx’ functionality, are in:

/home/livedocx/ZendService_LiveDocx/demos

As a first step, cd into /home/livedocx/ZendService_LiveDocx/demos and run:

php check-environment.php

Then follow the on-screen instructions on setting up the configuration file DemoConfiguration.php.

The unit tests, which test all of LiveDocx’ functionality, are in:

/home/livedocx/ZendService_LiveDocx/tests

To run the unit tests, simply cd into the above directory and run phpunit.

The virtual machine is pre-configured to run with LiveDocx Free. If you have a premium account and would like to run LiveDocx Premium, please add your premium credentials to the following files:

/home/livedocx/ZendService_LiveDocx/demos/DemoConfiguration.php [lines 41, 42]
 
/home/livedocx/ZendService_LiveDocx/tests/TestConfiguration.php [lines 60, 61]

I encourage you to download the virtual machine and try it out for yourself. Feel free to contact me, using the comments section below or by posting into the support forum, if you need any help, or notice any issues with the virtual machine.

Again I would like to thank you to all who attended my presentation last week at PHPConf Taiwan 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan.

Below are some photos from the event:

Thank you to all who attended my presentation this morning at PHPConf Taiwan 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan.

I was a great pleasure to talk about document generation in Zend Framework 2 using LiveDocx.

Today was the first time that I held a presentation in a language foreign to than that of the attendees. If you had any difficulties in understanding what I said, I apologize profusely.

Please download the slides (below) to review the content at your own pace. If you have any questions about the presentation or about LiveDocx, please do not hesitate to contact me. You may write in Chinese or English. We have members of staff who can translate any Chinese into English for me.

Again, it was a pleasure talking with you this morning. I am very much looking forward to demonstrating LiveDocx throughout the day and at the social event.
