Unclear on installation

[myfirstnameispaul]

Hello,

I'm just a humble enthusiast admin and not a web developer and it is not clear for me if this project can be just installed onto my LEMP server. Your project ranks high in google when looking for a php mailgun project.

Thanks!

Did you get stuck at any point in the installation process? It would be easier to help you given specific issues.

The server is running Ubuntu 12.04, nginx 1.6.2, PHP 5.5. and MariaDB 10.0. I have performed the following steps:

wget https://github.com/kJamesy/Nifty-Newsletter/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip -d /var/www/example.com/public/
mv /var/www/example.com/public/Nifty-Newsletter-master/ /var/www/example.com/public/nifty

I then added the database information to database.php and used phpMyAdmin to upload database.sql to the database and added my Mailgun information to config.php.

I have authorized nginx to run PHP on index.php, but not other locations. If you are not familiar with nginx configuration, this is a secure method for running PHP in nginx, and when other PHP files are required, the blocked attempts to run will show up in error.log, but there are no errors being reported in the log.

When I load www.example.com/nifty/public/index.php in my browser, it doesn't work.

Could you list the contents of nifty in example.com/nifty/public?

Let's hang out here tomorrow: http://webchat.freenode.net/ (channel Laravel) at 1100 London time and we'll debug together. If you can't make that time, let me know when you can.

I am in PST, which is -8, so 0300 isn't possible for me except maybe on Saturday or Sunday mornings, but even then is difficult. What other times work for you? 1330 your time would be easier for me to manage.

[kJamesy]

1330 is fine for me.
