Installation / Configuration
Please see the installation and configuration guides respectively.
Running the Application
You can run the application with either Apache, Nginx, or with the built-in web server feature of PHP. The command would look something like: php -S 127.0.0.1:8081 -t . .htrouter.php The .htrouter file would then act like an .htaccess file. Or you can run the application through Apache or Nginx.
Note that there are two .htaccess files in the application:
/.htaccess and /public/.htaccess.
The web root should be / not /public/ for this application. The .htaccess rewrites to public for you.
