How to setup your own shortlink service | FREE | YOURLS

After all this details explanation, still failed to mention that the URL shortening is onyl for admins. There is no feature for a website visitor to simply come and enter a long url and have it shortened. Needs this context at the beginning.

If you get an error like ""PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user" try changing your database password, PHP may not like some characters

does it have frontend for regular users?

what web hosting service do yall reccommend? are there any free options that support sql servers?

Great tutorial! I didn't think I'd ever get this installed, but your video made it possible, thank you.
However, is anyone else struggling to get it working after install? I can create the short URLs, but they do not redirect - instead I get a 404, and no logging of the click.

Straightforward, comprehensible, plus the prodigious voice. I can easily say that this tutorial exceeded my expectations 💯

Thank you for the excellent explanation! Helped me a lot :-)

Hey thanks for the video. How can I make this work with my WordPress site?

Thank you so much for making this EXCELLENT tutorial !!!
I am in a state of positive shock after everything worked first time, by following your very clear instructions.
Cheers 😃

How can i change the template?

Thank you!
The database username and password are left flat in the config.php file.

Is this not dangerous?

Excellent tutorial. Very clear and concise instructions with no "fluff."

Can you make tutorial on YOURLS with multiple users like bitly or polur?

Nice vid :) Maybe you can help me. I was told I could use YOURS to create a url for a QR code? I'd like to be able to change where the url points without creating a new QR code each time. I've installed YOURS with Softaclous but have no idea how to do the rest. Any suggestions?

When I try to go to the admin folder on my website it says that that page can‘t be found, but i can go to the other folders for some reason Edit: Nevermind it helped renaming the admin folder
