Manual Configuration

All of Aerial's configurable values are contained in src_php/config/config.xml

If you are on a Unix-like system (Mac or Linux), you may want to run chmod 0766 -R ./ from the root of your project so that you do not encounter permission issues; also ensure that the project is owned by the appropriate user.

To start with, we are going to enter the full path to our project in the project node of the config.xml file.

<project>C:\wamp\www\docs\getting-started</project>

Next, we're going to enter the server URL:

<server-url include-in-bootstrap="true">http://localhost/docs/getting-started/src_php/public_html/server.php</server-url>

The last thing we need to do is create a database and give the access details to Aerial:

<database use="development">
	<development>
	  <engine>mysql</engine>
	  <host>localhost</host>
	  <database>aerial_getting_started</database>
	  <username>root</username>
	  <password>...</password>
	  <port>3306</port>
	</development>
</database>

Now, if you navigate to the server.php file in your src_php/public_html folder, you should hopefully see the message:

Aerial and all of its components appear to be functional
