Instead of using the setup script thru the browser you can also manually setup.

1. Create config.local.ini

[production]
database.web.username = root
database.web.password =
database.web.dbname = example
database.web.host = localhost

server.domain = example.com

If the application is running in a subfolder configure it:

server.baseUrl = "/sub"

If configuring for development disable the error log:

debug.error.log = false

2. Create initial database

Execute the following on commandline:

php bootstrap.php setup

Alternatively you can use an existing database.
