shadeCMS

The HabboCMS that does the heavy lifting.

Installation

You first need some information on what you need to install and configurate.

1. MySQL Server

I use MySQL Windows 5.5 Server. After installation configurate the server.

2. WebServer

ENVIRONMENT CHECK: I suggest using IIS when running on windows and use Nginx when running on Linux.

3. PHP Manager

You want the PHP Manager (IIS) for switching PHP versions easily.

4. PHP

I use PHP 7.4.13 (x64), maybe you need php 8.0.0. Because it could throw an Composer error when using php 7.4.13!

5. Composer

Get composer at Composer Installation

6. Text Editor

For a fast Text Editor I suggest using Notepad++ Installation

7. Database Management GUI

I suggest HeidiSQL Installation

Now the Installation Self

1. Install the project from github.
2. Move the files in the root folder.
3. Then you must run composer install in the windows powershell / command prompt. (In the folder containing the composer.json)
4. Open Database Management Gui and create a connection.
5. Import the SQL from arcturus.dev in the database.
6. Go to the .env file and configurate your credentials with the MySQL server.
7. You need to specify your baseUrl in App/Config/App.php

public $baseURL = 'http://127.0.0.1';

9. (OPTIONAL) You might need to install Url Rewrite 2.1 in order to fix the error 500.
10. (OPTIONAL) Maybe for DDoS / DoS Security, install IP & Domain restrictions for IIS limiting.

You're done!
