To bind an external database
-
Open your CLI.
- Run the following command:
cf create-service
- As the service type, select 'user-provided'.
- Name the service.
- Enter a comma separated list of the MySQL service parameters.
The required parameters are 'hostname', 'port', 'username' , 'password', 'name' (where 'name' is the database Zend Server will use for its internal functions). - Enter the values for each parameter in order.
- Run the following command to bind the MySQL service to your application:
cf bind-service [service-name] [app-name]
The service will be auto-detected upon push.
Zend Server will create the MySQL database schema and enable clustering features.
Note:
To use the database parameters in an application, use the PHP getenv function to extract them from the VCAP SERVICES environment variable.
