Description

Application load all stored posts and comments in database

Using a custom solution for spam protection which relies on honeypot concept,

For example simple addition operation and a checkbox that is not supposed to be checked would do the trick

Installation

Create a virtual host

For example a host for Apache2, would be as follows :

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerName local-commenting-system.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/github/basic-commenting-system/web
        <Directory "/var/www/github/basic-commenting-system/web">
                AllowOverride All
                Order Allow,Deny
                Allow from All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Create a database for the application, and update config.php with database credentials

Run deploy script deploy.sh to download all needed files and populate database

And voila!, Application should now be accessible via index.php available inside web directory
