Requirements

• PHP 5, 7
• MySQL
• Web server (tested on Apache)

Setup

1. MAKE SURE YOUR SERVER CLOCK IS CORRECT!!! This system relies on the server time, not the client machine time.

2. Go to your webserver root as a user with write privileges (i.e. /var/www/html). Clone the repo to whatever sub dir, or use ./ to go to root. Set permissions and enter directory.

   cd /var/www/html  
   git clone https://git.point808.com/Point808/LobbySIO.git lobbysio  
   chown -R www-data:www-data lobbysio  
   cd lobbysio  
   

3. Copy sample language files and settings file.

    cp src/Language/en.lang.ini.example src/Language/en.lang.ini  
    cp src/Language/es.lang.ini.example src/Language/es.lang.ini  
    cp src/Language/de.lang.ini.example src/Language/de.lang.ini  
    cp src/Language/fr.lang.ini.example src/Language/fr.lang.ini  
    cp src/Config/Registry.example.php src/Config/Registry.php  
   

4. Set up a database. Example here uses MySQL - adapt for yours.

    mysql -u root -p  
    CREATE USER 'lsio_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yoursecret';  
    CREATE DATABASE lsio;  
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON lsio. * TO 'lsio_user'@'localhost';  
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;  
    exit;  
    mysql -u root -p lsio < assets/mysqlSchema.sql  
   

5. Edit configuration file.

    nano src/Config/Registry.php  
   

6. Run a tail to troubleshoot if needed...

    tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log  
   

7. Customize. Under the assets directory, you may create the following files that will automaticall be used if found:

    assets/logo-small.png  
    assets/logo-text.png  
    assets/Rules.pdf  
   

8. Go to the URL. Default username/password "admin" and "admin1234".
