Installation Instructions¶

Codingox is installed in four steps:

1. Unzip the downloaded file.
2. Upload files to your server. index.php file will be at your root.
3. Open the config/config.php file with a text editor and set your App URL.
4. Open the config/database.php file with a text editor and set your database settings.

For the security, system and any other folders should be placed with web root so that they are not directly accessible via a browser. By default, .htaccess files are included in each folder to help prevent direct access, but it is best to remove them from public access entirely in case the web server configuration changes or doesn’t abide by the .htaccess.

One additional measure to take in production environments is to disable PHP error reporting and any other development-only functionality. This can be done by setting the ENVIRONMENT in config/config.php.

If you’re new to Codingox, please read the Getting Started section of the User Guide to begin learning how to build dynamic PHP applications. Enjoy!
