Installation / Configuration

Please see the installation and configuration guides respectively., _(*5)

Running the Application

You can run the application with either Apache, Nginx, or with the built-in web server feature of PHP. The command would look something like: php -S 127.0.0.1:8081 -t . .htrouter.php The .htrouter file would then act like an .htaccess file. Or you can run the application through Apache or Nginx., _(*6)

Note that there are two .htaccess files in the application:
/.htaccess and /public/.htaccess.
The web root should be / not /public/ for this application. The .htaccess rewrites to public for you., _(*7)
