Installation will not be necessary, the system will be hosted at: jordanlord.zapto.org/league-system.

However, if you are wanting to host the system yourself, please follow the following steps. The following will show you how to install on a GNU/Linux based server; the steps should mostly be the same for other operating systems.

Requirements:

• Git
• PHP version 5.5 or later
• MySQL version 14 or later

The first step is to clone the repository from GitHub. You must be in the var/www/ directory, or elsewhere depending on how your webserver is setup.

$ git clone https://github.com/logiclogue/A2-Project-League-System.git

You should now have a folder called A2-Project-League-System/ you may rename it to whatever you want. The domain name that you are using must be pointed to your server and redirected to the location of A2-Project-League-System/.

A database must be setup for the system. To do this, log into MySQL and create a database for the system using the following command:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE squash-league-system;

You can call the database whatever you want.

Create a file called env.json is the root of A2-Project-League-System. This file will be read by the system to connect to the database. It must be structured in the following manner:

{
    "database": {
        "servername": "<Name of your server>",
        "username": "<username for MySQL>",
        "password": "<Password for MySQL>",
        "database": "<Name of the database for the system>"
    }
}

Once you have env.json setup, you must now test to see if the system is working. The unit tests will also generate all the tables in the database. To do this, you must visit the URL that directs us to the web application, using a web browser visit: http://localhost/A2-Project-League-System/php/Test.php. Obviously this URL will be different depending on what domain name you have pointing to your server. You will see a list of all the unit tests. If they are all highlighted green, then you are good to go!

Beware, hackers can easily execute Test.php to reset the server! Test.php MUST BE DELETED!

Congratulations, you have successfully installed the Squash League System!
