Current Version

Installation

Assume your pastebee installation directory is

  /var/www/pastebee/

Then go to the installation destination directory and clone the repository

The main index file is now already in public/index.php.

Run the installer

You need to have composer installed for this.

Create the database (MariaDB or MySQL in this case)

Go to your server terminal, create a new database, user and set CRUD privilegues:

 # First create the database and grant privileges
 $ mysql -u root -p
   > CREATE DATABASE pastebee;
   > CREATE USER 'pastebee'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourdbpass';
   > INSERT INTO mysql.db (Host,Db,User,Insert_priv,Select_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv) VALUES('localhost','pastebee','pastebee','Y','Y','Y','Y');
   > FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   > quit
   
 # Now create the database structure from the supplied SQL file
 $ mysql -u root -p pastebee < database-structure.sql

 DocumentRoot /var/www/pastebee/public

A web server (Apache, nginx, ...)
