VbzCart/setup
Woozle's setup
The following are specifics of how I usually set things up these days, giving examples from the dev instance I'm setting up as I type this (see Conventions/vdomain for definitions). It doesn't include setting up empty tables, because I'm always working with either the live site data or a copy; we'll get there eventually...
Steps
1. Install Ferreteria (you can actually do this at any point, but it may be easier to do it first).
2. Run these commands in a terminal on your web server (you can skip mkdir wherever the folder already exists):</poem>

Currently updating these (2022-10-14).
1. Install Ferreteria (you can actually do this at any point, but it may be easier to do it first).
2. Run these commands in a terminal on your web server (you can skip mkdir wherever the folder already exists):
- cd <$HOME>
- su <$USER>
- mkdir site
- cd site
- mkdir git
- git clone git@gitlab.com:woozalia/VbzCart.git
- cd ..
- mkdir config
- cd config
- cp -R ../git/VbzCart/config vbzcart
- mv vbzcart/examples vbzcart/local
- ln -rs vbzcart/local/index.php ~/public_html/
- ln -rs vbzcart/portable/.htaccess ~/public_html/
- cd ..
- ln -rs git/VbzCart/static ~/public_html/static
- mkdir ufiles
- cd ufiles
- mkdir pub
- ln -rs pub ~/public_html/ufiles
3. Modify the files in vbzcart/local as needed to match the current local environment. I set up the included index.php to work with my folder-structures. This will require having a database set up so you can get the appropriate connection credentials to put in creds.php.
- At this point, I think you should be able to point a browser at the domain and get something, even if it's only errors that you'll need to look at in order to figure out what's left to configure.
4. If you haven't already, make a dropins folder under site. Link or copy all the dropins you want to use from VbzCart into that folder.
