Browser setup documentation

[biton13]

Hi First of all, thanks a lot for sharing your code. Made all process a lot easier. I'm trying to setup the web interface or at least call the control.php file but can't find the documentation pertaining to this setup. Do I need to create a symlink in /var/www/html or something like this ? thanks

Glad you like the project!

I am actually in the process of redoing the web interface using Flask/Python instead of PHP. I thought that calling a python script from PHP to be pretty inefficient. Setting up a quick Flask app would be preferred.

So I removed how to implement control.php (that file will also be removed soon from the repo). I backed up the master branch before I made that change so you can still find some documentation on that here if you still want to set up the PHP script: https://github.com/naztronaut/dancyPi-audio-reactive-led/tree/master_bak#browser-setup

No need or a Symlink, just make sure you have Apache and PHP installed on the pi, move control.php into the /var/www/html directory, change ownership to Apache, and then you can run it. If you run into a permissions issue, there is one troubleshooting step right below that explains how to get past that.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have questions. Good luck!
