HTTP Server

Apache

Ensure that the mod_rewrite module is enabled in your Apache configuration. Microweber automatically creates necessary .htaccess files during installation, including one with a Deny All directive in each folder to prevent unauthorized access to entry points other than index.php.

Nginx

For Nginx, add the following location directive to your server configuration block. The root directive should point to the base folder of your Microweber website (usually where this readme is located).

server {
  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
  }
  location ~ /(vendor|src|config|storage|.git|.env) {
    deny all;
    return 404;
  }
}

IIS

You can import the .htaccess rewrite rules for IIS. Ensure that the URL Rewrite module is enabled for your website.

Database

Microweber supports multiple database engines, including MySQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. For small websites, SQLite is highly recommended. During installation, you can select from the databases enabled in your PHP configuration. If your preferred database server isn't listed, make sure to enable the corresponding PDO extension for your server in your PHP configuration.
