Ghost

Ghost is just a blogging platform.

Installation

Know that this is a Laravel application and Laravel requires php 5.3+ If you're on OS X, you might need to update your php installation to 5.4.x

To run the development version, you can do the following:

1. Clone the ghost project: git clone git://github.com/knnktr/ghost.git
2. Set your virtual host's webroot to be the source/public directory inside the repository.
3. Add a 32-character key to line 56 of source/config/application.php
4. Ensure that the database settings starting on line 65 on source/config/database.php match a database available on your server.
5. cd into your repository and (type) make
6. cd into the source directory and type php artisan migrate:install
7. type php artisan migrate

You should probably insert a user for yourself to use as there's no first-run process yet.

Go to source/routes.php and between lines 26 & 27, add a new line:

var_dump(Hash::make('secret')); (Put whatever you want your password to be in for "secret".)

Then load your site in a browser: [url]/login

Take the hashed password and insert your user into the DB, replacing [password] with your newly-hashed password.

INSERT INTO `authors` VALUES (NULL, '[email address]', '[password]', '[firstname]', '[lastname]', NOW(), NOW());

Now you should be able to log in with the email address and password you just inserted.
