Geezus what an installation nightmare #206

Closed jdelasko closed 9 years ago

jdelasko commented 9 years ago

Why on earth doesn't someone create a php installer for this? How hard could it be?

Hey @jdelasko - There's an included installer that handles most of the configuration - the only steps that you have to configure manually are the virtual host setup and whatnot. We've found that setting up the web host correctly can be a bit difficult as it differs greatly from one Linux distribution to another, let alone varying operating systems.

If you or someone you know would want to contribute to making installation easier, that would be awesome. We love pull requests!

I might do that if I end up using this. Right now I'm dealing with this:

A fatal error has occurred: Kohana_Exception [ 0 ]: The requested route does not exist: exception ~ SYSPATH/classes/kohana/route.php [ 106 ]

I don't want to set up a virtual host. I just want to put this in a subdirectory and run it.

That's most likely due to .htaccess not being setup correctly. Did you copy example.htaccess to .htaccess in the root of your project directory?
