Installation

1) Get all source files

git clone https://github.com/LaurentBouquet/joliquiz.git
cd joliquiz
composer install

2) Create database

In the commands below, replace aSecurePassword with a secure password.

Here are the steps to create the database, either with MySQL or with PostgreSQL.

MySQL

Check that you have the PHP MySQL driver installed with :

sudo apt install php-mysql

Enter these commands in a terminal prompt :

sudo mysql
CREATE USER 'joliquiz'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'aSecurePassword';
CREATE DATABASE joliquiz CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON joliquiz.* TO 'joliquiz'@'localhost';

Update config/packages/doctrine.yaml :

doctrine:
    dbal:
        # configure these for your MySQL database server
        driver: 'pdo_mysql'
        server_version: '5.7'
        charset: utf8mb4
        default_table_options:
            charset: utf8mb4
            collate: utf8mb4_unicode_ci

        # configure these for your PostgreSQL database server
        # driver: 'pdo_pgsql'
        # charset: utf8

Copy .env file to .env.local

Uncomment and update the password in this line of .env.local file : DATABASE_URL=mysql://joliquiz:**aSecurePassword**@127.0.0.1:3306/joliquiz

Enter this commands in a terminal prompt :

php bin/console doctrine:database:create

PostgreSQL

First, start by checking that you have the PHP PostgreSQL driver installed with :

sudo apt install -y php-pgsql

Enter these commands in a terminal prompt :

sudo -i -u postgres
createuser --interactive
joliquiz
# -> yes
psql
ALTER USER joliquiz WITH password 'aSecurePassword';
ALTER USER joliquiz SET search_path = public;
\q
exit

Update the following config file located at config/packages/doctrine.yaml :

doctrine:
    dbal:
        # configure these for your MySQL database server
        # driver: 'pdo_mysql'
        # server_version: '5.7'
        # charset: utf8mb4
        # default_table_options:
        #     charset: utf8mb4
        #     collate: utf8mb4_unicode_ci

        # configure these for your PostgreSQL database server
        driver: 'pdo_pgsql'
        charset: utf8

Uncomment and update the password in this line of the .env file : DATABASE_URL=pgsql://joliquiz:**aSecurePassword**@127.0.0.1:5432/joliquiz?charset=UTF-8

Copy then the .env file to .env.local
