ABOUT BINARYTIERS

BinaryTiers is an open source, high-performance C++ web application framework
that implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture pattern.
BinaryTiers is designed to be fast, robust, secure and easy to scale.

BinaryTiers is designed keeping processing time in mind, saving energy and
computing resources. BinaryTiers web applications range from personal blogs to
large social networking websites.

BinaryTiers framework is organized in a set of highly optimized C++ functions
that compile your web application in a single and portable executable,
allowing the creation of high performance cross-platform machine compiled web
applications.

ARCHITECTURE PATTERN

BinaryTiers implements the architecture pattern Model-View-Controller (MVC)

Models encapsulate the business logic and the data objects of your web
application, in BinaryTiers models are normally backed by a data store.
Models can be easily extended and they permit and independent development,
testing and maintenance.

The View is composed of “themes” that are responsible for providing appropriate
representations of your application interface. Themes are CPP files with
embedded HTML.

The Controllers are responsible for handling incoming HTTP requests and send
the response. This response can be processed by the View, or sent directly to
the output in order to generate XML, JSON, etc. Controllers can provide a
direct response or a pre-processed response, commonly used in form validations.

GETTING STARTED

  1. Make sure that you have the following programs and libraries installed:

    g++
    mysql client
    redis
    expat
    pcre

  2. Make sure hiredis is installed properly

    cd ~/redis-2.4.5/deps/hiredis
    make install INSTALL_INC=/usr/include INSTALL_LIB=/usr/lib

  3. If you are using MySQL, create an empty database, if you are using REDIS you
    can skip this step: You must create an empty database for BinaryTiers, make
    sure the database user has the rights to use the BinaryTiers database.

    mysqladmin -u MY_DATA_BASE_USER -p create MY_DATA_BASE_NAME

  4. Get the source code and build the core:

    wget http://www.binarytiers.org/files/binarytiers-2.4.2.tar.gz
    tar -xvzf binarytiers-2.4.2.tar.gz
    cd binarytiers/lib
    make

  5. Configure and Build BinaryTiers for the first time:

    cd …/src
    vi settings.h
    make

  6. Configure the Web Server: If you are using Apache, make sure to specify the
    path of BinaryTiers in the file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mysite.domain
    ServerAlias mysite.domain
    DocumentRoot “/MY_BINARYTIERS_PATH/”
    DirectoryIndex bt.bin

    Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ “/MY_BINARYTIERS_PATH/”

  7. Configure your web application: Point your browser to http://mysite.domain
    and follow the steps
