Thank you so much for making this EXCELLENT tutorial !!! I am in a state of positive shock after everything worked first time, by following your very clear instructions. Cheers 😃
Great tutorial! I didn't think I'd ever get this installed, but your video made it possible, thank you. However, is anyone else struggling to get it working after install? I can create the short URLs, but they do not redirect - instead I get a 404, and no logging of the click.
After all this details explanation, still failed to mention that the URL shortening is onyl for admins. There is no feature for a website visitor to simply come and enter a long url and have it shortened. Needs this context at the beginning.
If you get an error like ""PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user" try changing your database password, PHP may not like some characters
@troublechute Hi Thank you for the great tutorial. I did Every thing as mention in the video but am getting stuck at the login page. Even after installing the correct id pass in the Yourls login page aftr installation the page is not redirecting to the admin panel. Instead it again prompts id pass with no errors. Anything i missed out/ i have installed it in my root. Please help
hola agradecido por tu explicacion .. te pregunto logro realizar la instalacion pero cuando le doy a generar el link se queda como el boton dando vueltas y no lo genera nunca ... que podra ser .... de igual manera las url de prueba si redirecciona sin problema alguno .. gracias de antemano
When I try to go to the admin folder on my website it says that that page can‘t be found, but i can go to the other folders for some reason Edit: Nevermind it helped renaming the admin folder
Nice vid :) Maybe you can help me. I was told I could use YOURS to create a url for a QR code? I'd like to be able to change where the url points without creating a new QR code each time. I've installed YOURS with Softaclous but have no idea how to do the rest. Any suggestions?
I don't think there would be any issues... though if you do come across issues, I'd say to check the GitHub and create an issue :) github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS
