LWEngine

---

LWEngine (Light Weight Engine) is an engine created in PHP to allow a developer to create websites easier by allowing developers to program their own implementation directly without having to create an underlying structure.

LWEngine is currently in development, as of yet, there are no examples to demo and the documentation is limited

Requirements

Apache, PHP 5.3.0 and higher, (Optional) MySQL

Installation

These can be installed with these development suites:

• XAMPP (Linux, Mac & Windows)
• LAMP (Linux)
• WampServer (Windows)
• MAMP (Mac, Windows)

Terminal installation without LAMP on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server php5-mysql

Optionally, install phpmyadmin if you want a SQL GUI (do not leave this on a production server).

Optionally, install openssh-server if you want to control your webserver via another computer using SSH.

Optionally, install system-config-samba if you want to share directories to another computer using the SMB protocol.

Terminal installation with LAMP on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

Getting Started

Running a live demo

1. Download this repo
2. Copy the files within the ZIP file to your web server's public directory (Most commonly /var/www or /var/www/html in Ubuntu, or C:\XAMP\htdocs on Windows using XAMPP)
3. Start the Web Server
4. Go to a browser and visit this url http://localhost:80/
5. Setup LWEngine following the instructions and filling-in the necessary information
6. The setup will take you to the demo (http://localhost:80/)

Development

Tip: It is recommended that you have a web server available to test any changes you make

Note: LWEngine must be configured to allow LWEngine to work

1. Download this repo
2. Copy the files within the ZIP file to your web server's public directory (Most commonly /var/www or /var/www/html in Ubuntu, or C:\XAMP\htdocs on Windows using XAMPP)
3. Start the Web Server
4. Go to a browser and visit this url http://localhost:80/
5. Setup LWEngine following the instructions and filling-in the necessary information
6. Start development

Please read the examples and/or documentation. The implementation of your website should not interfere with the main functionality of LWEngine, doing so will defeat the purpose of LWEngine itself.
