London Stage Database Website

This repository includes all the files needed to replicate the London Stage Database Website on your server.

The live website can be viewed here: https://londonstagedatabase.uoregon.edu

Setup

Requirements

You'll need a web server with MySQL and PHP already installed. 

Installation

Instructions are for a Linux server

# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/LondonStageDB/website.git

Included with the repo is a compressed export of the database called London.tgz. 

# untar/zip the file
# this will extract a file called London.sql
tar -xzf London.tgz


# Import database
# replace <user> with your MySQL username
# after hitting enter, it will ask for your MySQL password
mysql -u <user> -p London < London.sql

Getting started

You'll need to create a file in the /includes folder called db.php and paste in the following contents (replacing the user/pass with your own MySQL authentication):

<?php
  define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
  define("DB_NAME", "London");
  define("DB_USER", "yourUserName");
  define("DB_PASS", 'yourPassword');


  $conn = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);
?>
