Installation instruction issues
Expected Behavior
Installation instructions should be complete and accurate
Current Behavior
https://docs.polrproject.org/en/latest/user-guide/installation/ states:
"Copy the .env.setup file to .env in your website's root directory."
However https://github.com/cydrobolt/polr/issues/412 states:
"You should copy .env.setup to .env in the root folder of the project, i.e not in public"
Possible Solution
Change https://docs.polrproject.org/en/latest/user-guide/installation/ to read:
"Copy the .env.setup file to .env in the /var/www/polr/ directory."
It's safe to assume this directory name, since the previous instructions unambiguously specified this directory name.
Context
I am trying to bring up polr, I am still having problems, but until I properly understood the above issue, I could not get the artisan steps to function.
Your Environment
ubuntu 18.04 with: apt install mysql-server mysql-client php php-mysql php7.2-mbstring php7.2-curl php-xml mmdb-bin zip unzip
Also, "You will also need to insert a admin user into the users table through mysql or a graphical SQL interface." without saying how the password should be encoded, or that the role apparently might be written as "adm" (still doesn't work, though).
