a simple forum created using laravel framework
To run this project, you must have PHP 7.4 installed as a prerequisite.
Begin by cloning this repository to your machine, and installing all Composer dependencies.
git clone [email protected]:adnanahmady/forum.git
cd forum && composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan storage:link
Next, create a new database and reference its name and username/password within the project's .env
file. In the example bellow, we've named the database, "homestead".
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Until an administration portal is available, manually insert any number of "channels" (think of these as forum categories) into the "channels" table in your database.
Once finished, clear your server cache, and you're all set to go!
php artisan cache:clear
