The Engelsystem may be installed manually or by using the provided docker setup.

Requirements

• PHP >= 8.1
  • Required modules:
    • dom
    • json
    • mbstring
    • PDO
      • mysql
    • tokenizer
    • xml/libxml/SimpleXML
    • xmlwriter
• MySQL-Server >= 5.7.8 or MariaDB-Server >= 10.2.2
• Webserver, i.e. lighttpd, nginx, or Apache

From previous experience, 2 cores and 2GB ram are roughly enough for up to 1000 Angels (~700 arrived + 500 arrived but not working) during an event.

Download

• Go to the Releases page and download the latest stable release file.
• Extract the files to your webroot and continue with the directions for configurations and setup.

Configuration and Setup

• The webserver must have write access to the storage directory and read access for all other directories

• The webserver must point to the public directory.

• The webserver must read the .htaccess file and mod_rewrite must be enabled

• Recommended: Directory Listing should be disabled.

• There must be a MySQL database set up with a user who has full rights to that database.

• If necessary, create a config/config.php to override values from config/config.default.php.

  • To disable/remove values from the following lists, set the value of the entry to null:
    • themes
    • tshirt_sizes
    • headers
    • header_items
    • footer_items
    • locales
    • contact_options

• To import the database, the bin/migrate script has to be run. If you can't execute scripts, you can use the initial-install.sql file from the release zip.

• In the browser, login with credentials admin : asdfasdf and change the password.

The Engelsystem can now be used.

Session Settings

• Make sure the config allows for sessions.
• Both Apache and Nginx allow for different VirtualHost configurations.
