pH7 Social Dating CMS is a Professional & Open Source Social Dating CMS, fully responsive design, low-resource-intensive, powerful and very secure.
pH7CMS is included with 30 modules and based on its homemade framework (pH7Framework). It is also the first Professional, free and open source European Social Dating Site Builder Software and the first choice for creating enterprise level Dating Apps/Service or social networking sites.
pH7 Dating CMS is a Social/Dating CMS written in Object-Oriented PHP (OOP), fully compatible and optimised for PHP 7+ and based on MVC architecture (Model-View-Controller).
It is designed with the KISS principle in mind, and the all source code can be read and understood in minutes. For a better flexibility, the software uses PDO (PHP Data Objects) abstraction which allows the choice of the database. The principle of development is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) aimed at reducing repetition of information of all kinds (not duplicate code).
This Free and Open Source Social Dating Site Builder wants to be low resource-intensive, powerful, stable and secure. The software also comes with 30 system modules and is based on pH7Framework (written specifically for this project) that has over 52 packages.

In order to get pH7CMS working on nginx server, you need to add some custom nginx configuration.
Create /etc/nginx/ph7cms.conf and add the following:
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
index index.php;
}Please note that the above code is the strict minimum and obviously you can add more by comparing with the main Apache .htaccess file.
Now in your nginx server configuration you will have to include ph7cms.conf file to complete the configuration like below:
In file, e.g., /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/yoursite.conf for Ubuntu and other OS based on Debian or /etc/nginx/conf.d/yoursite.conf for CentOS and other OS based on Red Hat.
server {
# Port number. In most cases, 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS
listen 80;
server_name www.yoursite.com;
root /var/www/ph7cms_public_root;
index index.php; #you can use index.ph7; for hidding the *.php ...
client_max_body_size 50M;
error_log /var/log/nginx/yoursite.error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/yoursite.access.log;
# Include ph7cms.conf. You can also directly add the "location" rule instead of including the conf file
include /etc/nginx/ph7cms.conf;
}For more information, please refer to the nginx documentation.
