If you do not have a license key, you will be able to activate a free trial during the installation process directly. If you have previously purchased a license key, you will be able to enter it during the installation process. |
System Configuration
There are a number of configuration settings that may be set before or after installation.
Requiring index.php in URLs
By default Blesta does not include index.php as part of any URL request, thanks to the use of .htaccess. If your server does not support .htaccess Blesta requires index.php to be included in all URLs. To force Blesta to include index.php in all URLs simply rename or delete the .htaccess file included with Blesta in your root web directory.
Changing the path to the Admin area
By default the path to the Admin area begins with /admin/. To change this locate routes.php in /installpath/config/routes.php and modify the value of the "Route.admin" configuration. For example, to change the path of the admin area to /staff/ set the following:
| Code Block |
|---|
| language | php |
|---|
| title | routes.php |
|---|
|
Configure::set("Route.admin", "staff"); |
Changing the path to the Client area
By default the path to the Client area beings with /client/. To change this locate routes.php in /installpath/config/routes.php and modify the value of the "Route.client" configuration. For example, to change the path of the client area to /customers/ set the following:
...
| language | php |
|---|
| title | routes.php |
|---|
...
