Using XAMPP (Windows, Linux, OSX)
XAMPP is a free, cross-platform web server package, and can be found here:
When installing XAMPP, we only require the PHP and Apache features. You can uncheck the rest of the options in installation if you have no need for them:
MySQL, FileZilla FTP Server, Mercury Mail Server, Tomcat, Perl, phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, Fake Sendmail...ain't nobody got time fo dat.
Once installed, clone or download the Phlex directory to the root web directory of XAMPP, which should be the /htdocs folder. When done, the path should be something like C:\xampp\htdocs\phlex (windows) or usr/home/xampp/htdocs/phlex (linux).
That should be it. You can now restart the apache service for your webserver, and browse to your Phlex installation at 'http://yourserveraddress:80/Phlex'.
To log in, enter your Plex username and password.
If you are running Phlex on an existing webserver, Phlex PHP version 7.0 and up. Phlex will also require r/w access to the root of the /Phlex directory for configuration and logging purposes. You will also need the CURL and openSSL extensions enabled, and sockets if you have any Cast devices. If you're not using Xampp, you may also need to enable the xml module.
