:aerial_tramway: A modern, powerful, and robust URL shortener

I am getting this php readout:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'InvalidArgumentException' with message 'Dotenv: Environment file .env not found or not readable.

I was on chat with my host provider for an hour or more last night. We worked out many of the issues that I was having with setup, but this one we did not resolve. It is probably something I am overlooking, but if you could take a look at the error and give me your feed back, I would really appreciate it.

-- Your Environment -- This is the path on the server: /home/polr9/b-px.xyz/polr/public

• I have it configured to pull from /public as the main directory

I installed Polr via ssh, but it didn't install the "vendor" directory. I was getting an error in regards to this. So, I manually added that via FTP (seems weird to me).

• Because of the path the previous error was throwing, I installed vendor here: /home/polr9/b-px.xyz/polr/bootstrap/vendor

Hello Polr Community,

I am working on changing the registration form to limit people signing up to a specific email domain. For example, users can only register if they have access to a [email protected], only emails ending with "@example.com" can register otherwise it will throw up an error.

After completing the setup form, I get the "Whoops! Something went wrong" screen with the leading title as in the subject above.

Expected Behavior

I was expecting to be taken to my Polr home page.

It appears to be an issue with Laravel - which I am totally unfamiliar with. I have been through the documentation and reset permissions, etc. I just really don't know where to start for troubleshooting.

I have installed and uninstalled on multiple servers - both public (Dreamhost VPS) and private (LAMP) and get the same issue in all instances.

You can currently find it at http://vea.link.

Here is the entire error message. Anny assistance would be greatly appreciated!

preferably a silhouette for the navbar logo, and a rectangular logo to replace "polr" in the middle of the page. we might also try ascii art for the main logo

Hi,

I tried contacting you on irc.freenode.net in polr channel, I have been following this documentation: http://docs.polr.me/en/latest/user-guide/installation/

All went fine until "Option 1: Run automatic setup script" and "Option 2: Write configuration and database manually". I just get "404 Not Found" when I go to /setup/ so I decided to try option 2 which looks to be OK except for now I am missing about.php and alot of other essential files it seems like. I cannot shorten urls or sign in or anything.

Hello!

I'm trying to install polr in a site with FTP access only because ssh is not available.

I would like to run setup.php but I've not mysqlnd installed on the server. For this reason I would like to know if I could run setup.php (using a config.php example) filling the database fields manually.

Any help will be welcome.

Thanks!! ; )

Please add in the setup file the option to create API database, I get an error. It says that the email thinghy cannot be duplicated this is the code that gives the error, what should I do?

              `email` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
              KEY `email` (`email`),

Expected Behavior

Expecting it to finish setup. And expecting it to provide more details since by copying .env.setup to .env, the app_debug flag should be still true, but it doesn't show log on the page

Current Behavior

It says "Whoops, looks like something went wrong." The url can be shorten if i allow public user to shorten urls during setup. And when i turn register mode on, i can register new user, but i cant login my admin account provided in the setup page. When i look into my database the user table was empty after setup. I also referred to the manual setup guide and ran $ sudo php artisan migrate --force The error message is:

  [Illuminate\Database\QueryException]

  n your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server
   version for the right syntax to use near 'CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT 0 NOT

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. I followed the guide here: https://github.com/cydrobolt/polr/blob/master/docs/user-guide/installation.md
2. I created database using following command:

CREATE DATABASE polr;
GRANT ALL ON polr.* to 'polr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'uf6Fi3SaL5Mt';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Context

Expected Behavior

When in Dashboard --> Links, there is supposed to be an analytics link on each of the entries. When clicked, it will take you to detailed analytics info for the shotened link. See demo site for example of behavior.

Current Behavior

No link is available. Also, searched for geoip.php in my installation, it doesn't exist.

Possible Solution

Did some files get neglected on the 2.1.1 release?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Installed via composer
2. Site functioning
3. Created several entries. Verified that they worked
4. Went into Dashboard (logged in), Selected "Links" List of links comes up, but missing the analytics button

Context

Missing functionality.

Your Environment

• Version 2.1.1 installed via composer

Hey all! New to github and dev in general, and I think this is one of the coolest projects I have ever heard of! Can't seem to get it working though, but I am a noob. Please be gentle.

I spun up a vm lamp server, which installed php 7.0 (on Ubuntu) and I've noticed all the instructions are fairly current and up to date, but I see loads of references to php 5.x. Should I be using php 5? Also, upon installing composer, the '--no-dev' command comes back with an error stating this is an invalid argument, and a list of arguments to choose from. '-o' also apparently doesn't exist, and I cannot locate anything on google implicating that the arguments were removed and why.

running a 'git clone' in terminal, or running composer against the cloned repository left it where the git command left it, on my home directory. per reading through the lines, I moved the repository to /var/www/, but the documentation didn't specify that I should. I know I am a noob, but is that were I should have moved it to/at all?

My end game is that after moving the repository, pointing my apache config file to '/var/www/polr/public', updating php, running composer (without '--no-dev -o' cause that did nothing but tell me my syntax was bad) installing all of the prereqs, updating them, when I go to localhost in my browser, nothing displays, and I cannot find any documentation to point me in the direction to start troubleshooting this. If lots of people were able to spin up this web app, I am doing something wrong. I would humbly and respectfully like to ask for assistance.

Thank you, and have a great day!

I dont know if this is right place to ask this question .I tried at IRC but no one replied so im asking here.I have setup the polr but its showing the blank page at login page.I tried enabling mysqli but then nd_mysqli Disables.what to do ?

I would like to make life easier for Polr maintainers by implementing Uffizzi preview environments. Disclaimer: I work on Uffizzi.

Uffizzi is a Open Source full stack previews engine and our platform is available completely free for Polr (and all open source projects). This will provide maintainers with preview environments of their PRs in the cloud, allowing them iterate faster and reduce time to merge. You can see the open source repos which are currently using Uffizzi over here

Uffizzi is purpose-built for the task of previewing PRs and it integrates with your workflow to deploy preview environments in the background without any manual steps for maintainers or contributors.

I can go ahead and create an Initial PoC for you right away if you think there is value in this proposal.

Hello,

It seems that the project is abandonned, considering there's been no activity since Feb 2021 and @cydrobolt seems unactive on GitHub, unless he plans to resume the maintenance on this project or someone wants to fork it

I would gladly suggest people to use more up-to-date alternatives such as Shlink or Kutt.it.

In any case, thanks cydrobolt for the hard work on Polr.

Hello,

I finished installed Polr on my hosting. It works great so far. However, I don't get statistic in links like on demo.

On demo(http://demo.polr.me/), it has these field :

Link Ending | Long Link | Clicks | Date | Creator | Disable | Delete |

On Clicks field, it should have number of clicks and also statistic icon for showing up the statistic. But, on my hosting, I don't have that icon. Also, I chekced on table 'clicks', I thought it must being filled when someone click the URL, and the table also still empty when I click the shorten URL.

Please help for this issue.

Thank you for this great app 🙏
