Bonfire on c9.io

c9.io is one of the great services around there, if you are a github user, you easily connect and create your workspace and start hacking.

Bonfire is an amazing piece of technology to springboard your CodeIgniter developpement.

It took me some time and coffee to came up with a bonfire setup in c9, and i wanted others to benefit from my learning.

First, you create a new Apache/php workspace with bonfire github url.

Run your project and you are ready, Bonfire will tell you that your public folder is set to Bonfire root folder and you should adjust your configurations, so you will need to update apache configuration in `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-cloud9.conf` by adding /public to workspace path in DocumentRoot and Directory clause.

Run your project, you will get usual database errors, update application/config/database.php or application/config/developement/database.php to c9 mysql credentials, start mysql `mysql-ctl start`.

Run your project and you can access bonfire, which will route you to the install process that will tell you php cUrl is not enabled, so you will need to execute `sudo apt-get install php5-curl`.

Run your script, check your Bonfire installation, enjoy hacking, and you feel it, shout me a tweet :-)
