Installation - langel/LOLkernel GitHub Wiki

In the future LOLkernel will have a downloadable stable .zip archive, but for right now we're stuck in github land. Fork the repo to your website's root directory. You'll notice that it won't load properly because all of the code is in the LOLkernel directory. You can try going to (yourwebsitedomain)/LOLkernel and you'll see it load, but this is not the behavior that we're looking for. You'll need to create (or replace) the .htaccess file in your website's root directory like so --

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /LOLkernel/$1

Now refresh (yourwebsitedomain) in the browser. The page will look the same, loading the LOLkernel SysOp interface, but we're now masking the fact that the application is not sitting absolutely root to the domain. All is well. I hope. :X

Requirements

• apache/php/mysql for now . . .
• a unique (sub)domain; localhost is jee golly swell!!
• Any LAMPP or XAMPP style package will do fine for developing locally.
