RevTube Documentation

Section 1 - How to install & basic setup

To setup RevTube:

• Clone the Github Repo into your webservers public_html or htdocs folder (on Linux, it’s usually /var/www/html, but it could be something different)
• Make a new SQL database
• Import the SQL file located at sql/database.sql into your database
• Edit the file assets/mod/db.sample.php to include your database credentials, ffmpeg/ffprobe path, and Discord webhook (optional), then rename it to db.php

If all these steps were followed correctly, your instance should look like this:

Section 2 - Prepare for production environment

Now that your instance is setup, you might want to make some changes to your configuration file. To disable the debugging statistics header: Open the assets/mod/db.php file and set $debug to false in the file. Now, for uploading things to work, you’ll need to make a few directories. At the root of the folder you extracted the source to in the first step, make a folder called content. Now, navigate to that folder and create the following directories: background, pfp, thumb, tmp, unprocessed, and video. If you do not make these directories, things like profile pictures, channel backgrounds, thumbnails, and video uploading will not work.
