An error may occur during installation:

After installing php-curl, delete all files in the Directory (including hidden files starting with.) and execute composer create-project flarum/flarum. -- stability = beta.

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

The normal installation log should be long and long.

The files in the project directory are as follows:

Modify and set permissions

Change the permissions of all files and folders in the project directory to 777. for example, my permissions are:

sudo chmod -R 777 /home/kiya/v2nb

Enable rewrite

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabledsudo ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load

Redirection

Modify the DocumentRoot entry in the/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf file to your project folder path, for example, DocumentRoot/home/kiya/v2nb.

Add the following code between VirtualHost nodes in the file:

 
      AllowOverride All
 

In the/etc/apache2/apache2.conf file, find:

         Options FollowSymLinks        AllowOverride None        Require all denied

Change Require all denied to Require all granted, and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All.

Modify host

sudo vim /etc/hosts

Open the hosts and add a new line 23.105.197.243 v2nb. today. the ip here is the ip address of vps, and the domain name can be written at will. the ip address of the local machine can be written as 127.0.0.1.

If it is not added here when the apache service is started, a warning is reported:

AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using v2nb.today. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

Database

Create a database for the forum using the command line. the account and password entered during user and pass installation of mysql will be used soon.

mysql -u user -ppasscreate database v2nb;

Install flarum

Restart the apache service.

sudo service apache2 restart

Access 23.105.197.243 in a browser. if it is a local test, access localhost.

If:

You need to install the gd module, execute sudo apt-get install php5-gd to restart apache.

If it is correct, the page is displayed to fill in the information:

The MySQL Database is the name of the Database we created above. fill in the name and click Install Flarum.

Install it when it appears ~

Administrator interface:

Access oops

If Oops is frequently displayed when you use a domain name to open a forum! Something went wrong. Please reload the page and try again and the resource cannot be loaded. it may indicate that the requested url is different from the configured url.

You need to modify the config. php file in the project directory.

sudo vim config.php

For example, change 'URL' => '23. 105.197.243 'to 'URL' => 'v2nb. today '.
