seems cool but... lol

"in a nutshell, you need to install the dependencies, tell it where your working instance of Zenbot is, import some data from Zenbot and away you go!"

(i think i found that part)

the but is... doesn't zenbot use mongodb? not mysql

[DrBlackross]

(trust me i went through this years ago tweeking zenbot and gecko in node)

[DrBlackross]

You can also run php --ini inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

alright, using this guide... lol

~/zenbot-sim-runner$ sudo find / -name php.ini

/home/drblackross/zenbot-sim-runner/vendor/laravel/sail/runtimes/7.4/php.ini
/etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini

either way it didn't work lol
its a cool idea, but forge wasn't able to access the sql database in the end and add the tables, even though i did add the user lol... i can wait till some of the bugs get worked out.

if it can work with mongodb that'll be cool

(phpnuke wasnt this hard lol)

Yeah, getting everything to hang together working properly is quite an 'expert' undertaking really, and I just haven't had the time to refine the install process. Thanks for persevering!

However ... I have been working on a Docker-based deployment which includes all the many dependencies (even Zenbot and MongoDB). I've got it deployed in the cloud I just need to set up a domain name of some sort. Once that is sorted I will let you know in this thread and you can sign up for a login. I wish I could get it done right now but have a lot of other responsibilities. I'd hope to be able to get back to you within a few days though.
