Installation

1. Install your preferred webserver, PHP, MariaDB/MySQL, and MySQLi.
2. Start the MariaDB daemon.
3. If you haven't yet, run mysql_secure_installation.
4. Run mysql -u root -p to log in to the SQL database. (If this fails, try running it as root.)
5. Enter the following commands. Remember to change the placeholders!

CREATE DATABASE moodblog;
GRANT ALL ON moodblog.* TO 'moodblog'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
USE moodblog;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS articles (
	ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT primary key,
	Time TIMESTAMP,
	Title VARCHAR(512) NOT NULL,
	Mood VARCHAR(256),
	MoodImage VARCHAR(256),
	Song VARCHAR(256),
	Message MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL
);
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

• Tip: You can use /dev/urandom encoded with base64 to create long, strong passwords.

  base64 /dev/urandom -w 512 | head -n 1
  

6. Use git to clone this repository to any directory in your webroot.

• Example paths:

  /var/www/html
  /var/www/blog
  /var/www/moodblog
  /var/www/html/moodblog
  /var/www/html/blog
  

7. Copy templates/creds.def.php to templates/creds.php. Change the placeholders.
8. Copy templates/config.def.php to templates/config.php. Change the placeholders.

• You really only need to change $url and $root to get a working installation, however, you really should change everything after $password.

9. Sever your leg please. It's the greatest day.
