Improve instructions for installing Contao #1655
Description
Description
The current installation process only ever shows in a note, that the downloaded .phar file may or may not need to be renamed, based on server configuration.
Proposal
I propose to add a numbered list on how to install Contao - Quick Guide
- Create a folder named
public(orweb, w/e) - Set the Document root on the folder
/public - Download the
contao-manager.pharfile from contao.org/download - DO NOT rename it to
.phplocally as (S)FTP does not transfer in BINARY MODE - Upload the
contao-manager.pharto the/publicfolder - NOW RENAME it to
contao-manager.phar.php - Call your website
example.com/contao-manager.phar.phpand set a user account - If you want to create an account with a password and NOT A PASSKEY? Click the dropdown (Since Contao Manager 1.10)
Also documenting the following as big crucial information would be good:
Important
The Contao Manager is not associated with the installed Contao Application.
The Backend-User for Contao is DIFFERENT than the user in the Contao Manager
If you install the official contao-demo, the credentials can be found in the front end after installing it or on the official demo website: https://demo.contao.org/#:~:text=If%20you%20like%20to%20see%20the%20administration%20panel%20of%20Contao%2C%20please%20choose%20a%20back%20end%20user%20below%20to%20log%20into%20the%20panel.
