Auto-configuration with the manager

The manager has a dashboard that lets you review web sites configuration, permissions issues, etc.

You should go to the Dashboard in the manager every time you install a new site or move the engine as it has the ability to auto-configure.

• Go to http://127.0.0.1/~yourusername/alahup/manager/ .

  At this point, an invisible hint file is also saved in alahup/caches folder. It will remember how you reached the manager and facilitate the auto-configuration of new sites.

• Follow the Dashboard link.

  If permissions are correct, the only error should be the missing .htaccess.

• Click on "fix" to let the manager install the correct .htaccess.

You are now ready to create a new site !
