androcles

A CMS for animal shelters

Requirements

Androcles requires a server with PHP 5.4+ that has the MCrypt extension installed, as well as php-curl, php-json, php-gd.

The database engine that is used to store data for this application could be any of the engines supported by Laravel: MySQL, Postgres, SQLite and SQL Server.

If using Apache, mod_rewrite should be enabled.

Configuration

• Open up app/config/database.php and configure connection settings for your database.

• Configure hostname in bootstrap/start.php file to match your machine's hostname:

  $env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(
  
      'local' => array('your-machine-name'), // Edit this line
  
  ));
  

After this simple configuration you can populate the database by running a couple commands shown below.

Installation

CD into the directory of this project and run the following three commands:

1. composer install
2. php artisan migrate
3. php artisan migrate --package=cartalyst/sentry
4. php artisan db:seed
5. Copy the folders of the languages you want from the "vendor/caouecs/laravel4-lang" directory to "app/lang".

This will install all Composer dependencies, create the database structure and populate the database with some sample data so that you could see this project in action.
