Installation

In your browser open http://localhost/ahcrawler/

You will be guided to make an initial setup… and then in a second step to create a profile for a website.

Select a language

Check requirements

If a requirement is missed you get a warning message. Screenshot: Check requirements

Setup database connection

The sqlite is for small tests or small websites only. I highly recommend to use Mysql/ MariaDb - therefore you need to create a database and a database user. You see if the required pdo module is installed or not. Enter the connection data.

If you continue the connection will be checked.

Hint when using docker with Mariadb:

Have a look to the docker environment file docker/.env too. The default parameters are:

  • Server: ahcrawler-db
  • Port: leave empty
  • Scheme: ahcrawler
  • Username: ahcrawler
  • Password: mypassword
  • Charset: utf8
