Topic Установка (Installation)

Apache must have mod_rewrite and mod_headers enabled. Also, the AllowOverride directive must be set to All.

Two options

1. Shared hosting or site folder (Document Root != /public/ folder):
   • Rename .dist.htaccess to .htaccess,
   • Rename index.dist.php to index.php.
   • (If you install the forum engine in the site folder, there may be conflicts between the forum's .htaccess rules and the site's .htaccess rules.)
2. VPS/VDS with access to Apache configuration (Document Root == /public/ folder):
   • Rename /public/.dist.htaccess to /public/.htaccess,
   • Rename /public/index.dist.php to /public/index.php;

• Example nginx configuration.
• Note: Root must point to the /public/ directory.
• Note: The index.dist.php file does not need to be renamed.

• You can rename /public/favicon48.ico file to /public/favicon.ico
• You can create your own favicon file and copy it to /public/favicon.ico
