Installing BoidCMS from a zip file

  • Get the latest version of BoidCMS from the official repository.
  • Extract the zip file and upload the contents to your server. You can upload the files to the root directory or to a subdirectory of your choice.
  • Navigate to your domain. If you uploaded the files to the root directory, go to http://example.com. If you uploaded the files to a subdirectory, go to http://example.com/{subdirectory}.
  • Use the admin panel to set up and customize your website.

Default Login Credentials

The default login page for the administrator is located at admin. To access the login page, simply append /admin to the end of your website's URL. For example, if your site's URL is http://example.com, then the login page would be located at http://example.com/admin. If your website is located in a subdirectory, then you will need to include the subdirectory name before /admin.

It's important to note that the default username and password are both set to admin and password, respectively. However, to ensure your site's security, it's highly recommended that you change these login details to something more unique and complex.

Run BoidCMS with PHP Built-In Web Server

BoidCMS can be quickly run through the command line using PHP's built-in web server.

git clone https://github.com/BoidCMS/BoidCMS.git boidcms
cd boidcms

To prepare index.php for use with the PHP Built-in web server, add the following code above the $App->render(); line:

$App->page = ltrim( $_SERVER[ 'PATH_INFO' ] ?? '', '/' );

Start the server by running the following command in your terminal:

php -S localhost:8080

Once the server is running, you can access BoidCMS by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080 in the address bar.
