mailtable. - Configure SMTP settings (host:
smtp.gmail.com, port:587, socket:tls, auth:true, protocol:2).
- Set up git
- Fork this repository
- Create a database for PASTE.
- Check out the current master branch of your fork
- Point your browser to http(s)://example.com/install and follow the instructions on screen or import docs/paste.mysqlschema.sql into your database and copy docs/config.example.php to config.php and edit
Now you can start coding and send in pull requests.
3.0/3.1 schema changes run the installer to update database (backup first)
-
2.1 to 2.2 no changes to database
-
2.0 to 2.1
Insert the schema changes to your database using the CLI:
mysql -uuser -ppassword databasename < upgrade/2.0-to-2.1.sql
or upload & import upgrade/2.0-to-2.1.sql using phpMyAdmin
- 1.9 to 2.0
Run upgrade/1.9-to.2.0.php
Set mod_rewrite in config.php to 1
For Apache, just use .htaccess
For Nginx, use the example config in docs/nginx.example.conf
Paste now supports pastes of upto 4GB in size, and this is configurable in config.php
However, this relies on the value of post_max_size in your PHP configuration file.
// Max paste size in MB. This value should always be below the value of
// post_max_size in your PHP configuration settings (php.ini) or empty errors will occur.
// The value we got on installation of Paste was: post_max_size = 1G
// Otherwise, the maximum value that can be set is 4000 (4GB)
$pastelimit = "1"; // 0.5 = 512 kilobytes, 1 = 1MBEverything else can be configured using the admin panel.
