phalcon dev tools on fortrabbit

This could be a way to use devtools in the free plan:

1. Login via SSH

   ssh [email protected]

2. Clone devtools or upload it devtools is cloned under the htdocs directory, assuming that your htdocs has the following structure:

htdocs/
   app/
   public/   

I cloned it under the scripts directory:

git clone https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools scripts

The final structure would be like this:

htdocs/
   app/
   public/
   scripts/   

3. Execute devtools Since executables are not allowed there, you can run devtools using the php executable:

~/htdocs$ php scripts/phalcon.php commands
~/htdocs$ php scripts/phalcon.php model robots

A symbolic link could be made as shortcut for phalcon.php:

ln -s scripts/phalcon.php phalcon

~/htdocs$ php phalcon commands

Thanks for the heads-up!

However, phalcon kept complaining about requiring to be run in a phalcon-project-dir even though I did run it in that exact directory. Any ideas?

When a project is created using devtools it creates a hidden directory called .phalcon, devtools checks that directory exists to ensure that the project has an suitable structure to work with it.
