Using this skeleton with Phalcon 4

Hi,

I am unable to get this skeleton to work with Phalcon 4.1.0 on my 64bit Windows 10 machine using Wampserver. It shows me errors in most initialization files as given below:

• In config\services.php it says Undefined Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault()
  $di = new FactoryDefault();

• In config\acl.php it says Undefined Phalcon\Acl
  $acl->setDefaultAction(Phalcon\Acl::DENY);

• In public\index.php
  $app = new Micro($di);

Do I have to run composer to complete the installation? Do I need to update the composer.json file for newer versions of Phalcon. I assume I will to update it. What do I specify in the dependencies?
composer update gives below errors on command prompt:

  Problem 1
    - phalcon/devtools[v3.2.0, ..., v3.2.13] require ext-phalcon ~3.1 -> it has the wrong version installed (4.1.0).
    - phalcon/devtools[v3.4.0, ..., v3.4.14] require ext-phalcon ~3.3 -> it has the wrong version installed (4.1.0).
    - Root composer.json requires phalcon/devtools ^3.2 -> satisfiable by phalcon/devtools[v3.2.0, ..., v3.4.14].

Phalcon 4.1.0. is installed and shown by phpinfo(). I am using Php 7.4.26 and Apache 2.4.51.
TIA.

Logging in & getting authentication token

Hi,

I am stuck at the first step. I have setup the environment with Wamp but I am unable to login. Pardon my lack of knowledge. I read most of the code in app.php, how to setup routes and acl etc. I then went deeper and read a few articles and tutorials about JWT on internet. I have never used it. How do I send my User/Password to the API. Earlier I had created a small REST API using node.js using a tutorial where we sent the credentials in a json object. I assume that will not work here.

I also understand that after authentication in Response object I will get the token which I have to use for all further calls. Second question, whose solution is most probably related to the first one, how will I send this token with each API call. I do see the config file server.development.php having space for the token and a key.

Unable to setup this skeleton

Hi,

I am using Wamp on Windows 7, 64bit. I setup the whole project by downloading zip file and setting it up. Ran Composer. I setup the database connection details in server.development.php. The setting
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development" doesn't work in Windows so I have setup a Environment variable for the same.

I haven't modified app.php. I am just trying to get it the basic website going so that I can do more. It keeps giving 500 "Internal Server Error". I have modified the .htaccess and cleaned it, just leaving basic commands but still this error doesn't go away. There is nothing in Apache or PHP error logs.

Do I need to setup some of the Postman configuration. I have no knowledge of that. I did have a look at that file. I haven't touched the ACL files also.
I just want to first see index.phmtl to know everything is working fine. Then I will go to next step. I am working on REST API for the first time so kindly pardon my ignorance.

How to get the current user identity?

Hi, i'm using nginx - i first had the root pointed to /public folder and got 500 error while accessing via postman or compose test.
I changed it to root of application and now i'm gettign 404. When i visit the page https://api.mydomain.com - i get an error on page mod_rewrite need to be enabled... I do have equavelent mod_rewrite block in ngixn i believe like below

try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;

location @rewrite {
    rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?_url=/$1;
}

on the environment config file i've not made any change except DB values, i've left the default values ( how do i generate keys?) 'authentication' => [
'secret' => 'your secret key to SIGN token', // This will sign the token. (still insecure)
'encryption_key' => 'Your ultra secret key to ENCRYPT the token', // Secure token with an ultra password
'expiration_time' => 86400 * 7, // One week till token expires

thanks for any help!

Language files not being picked up?

I have created file langs/en.json + es.json as instructed in readme.md but they are not being picked up, and I can't see anything for internationalization in the code. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you
