Installation

Plainpad is a web application that can be installed and run in web servers. Users will be able to reach the application through their web browsers by using an active internet connection, just like visiting a normal website. The installation process is very similar to the one required by the popular PHP framework Laravel, so it is very likely that you will be familiar with the next steps. Follow this article strictly in order to complete the installation with no problems.

Server Requirements

  • Apache/NGINX
  • MySQL
  • PHP >= 7.3
  • BCMath PHP Extension
  • Ctype PHP Extension
  • Fileinfo PHP extension
  • JSON PHP Extension
  • Mbstring PHP Extension
  • OpenSSL PHP Extension
  • PDO PHP Extension
  • Tokenizer PHP Extension
  • XML PHP Extension

Steps

Plainpad requires a few steps and minimum configuration for the installation to your server.

  1. Upload the contents of the zip archive to your server.
  2. Make sure the web server is configured to only serve the public directory.
  3. Create an .env file based on the .env.example provided and enter your configuration values.
  4. Run php artisan migrate:fresh --seed to set up the database.

Alternatively you can open the browser to the /url/to/public/setup.php file and submit the installation form.

Make sure the entire application directory is completely writable by the PHP process so that the auto update feature works properly.
