Requirements

It is recommended to use latest PHP 7.2+ if possible. For more information on PHP, please visit http://www.php.net. PHP 7.3 should work as well, PHP 7.4 has not been tested.

A linux/unix host is needed to support some features, please report issues with other platforms.

For directory zip functionality zip library needs to be present in /usr/bin/zip

Uses some javascript so may not work with browsers from last century.

Installation

1. Make sure all requirements are met
2. Clone or download the repo
3. Place all files in the parent-most directory you wish DirectoryLister to use as home
4. Rename default.config.php to config.php and configure DirectoryLister as needed within, (remove .desc in main directory to remove welcome message)
5. Files and folders to be shown can now be placed alongside
6. Make sure log file in resources folder is write-able
