URL rewritingBefore installing and running Flarum, you need to set URL rewriting rules. Flarum comes with an Apache .htaccess file, which contains the rules that need to be used. If you are using another web server, you need to add the following rules in the configuration file: Nginx

<codecourier new monospace font-size: border-radius: border: none background-color: transparent>location / {
    try_files <span>$uri</span><span>$uri</span>/ /index.php?<span>$query_string</span>;
}

location /api {
    try_files <span>$uri</span><span>$uri</span>/ /api.php?<span>$query_string</span>;
}

location /admin {
    try_files <span>$uri</span><span>$uri</span>/ /admin.php?<span>$query_string</span>;
}

location /flarum {
    deny all;
    <span>return</span><span>404</span>;
}

location ~ .php$ {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/<span>var</span>/run/php5-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    <span>include</span> fastcgi_params;
}</codecourier>

SMTPThere is currently no graphical interface for configuring SMTP (#258), but you can manually modify the database configTable:

<codecourier new monospace font-size: border-radius: border: none background-color: transparent>mail_driver: smtp
mail_host: <span>...</span>mail_port: <span>...</span>mail_username: <span>...</span>mail_password: <span>...</span>mail_encryption: <span>...</span></codecourier>

Import dataEventually we hope to import data from other forums into Flarum, so that you can migrate to Flarum software with confidence. However, it's still early at this stage and we need to release a stable version first! Article source: Flarum Chinese Developer Community

The above has introduced the installation of Flarum, including various aspects. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are interested in PHP tutorials.
