rCMS

Simple CMS for my website. Requires CKEditor and CKFinder.

Installation

You'll need PHP (5.5+), MySQL and Composer.

1. Download or clone this repo.
2. Make sure Composer is installed. Run composer install --no-dev in the root directory of this project.
3. Place the contents of the ./web directory in a location accessible from the internet.
4. Place the remaining contents of the root directory of this repository in a location not accessible from the internet.
5. Copy the file config.sample.php, save it in the same directory as config.php.
6. Edit/review all the settings in the config.php file.
7. Open the website in your browser. If something went wrong during steps 2, 4 and 5, the site will tell you. If something went wrong during the other steps, you will see some generic error. If everything went correctly, you will see a link to create the necessary database tables. Click this link.
8. You will see a few more screens for setting up the default account and theme. Follow the on-screen instructions here.

Configuration

Database settings and file paths can be changed in the config.php file. All other settings can be controlled from the admin interface. A link to the admin interface appears (depending on your theme) somewhere on the top-right of your screen when you are logged in.

CKEditor

It is recommended to install CKEditor.
