Download and installation

Flextype core package with a minimal Flextype setup with the basics you need to start a project from scratch. It is the ideal choice if you are already familiar with Flextype and want to start your project step-by-step.

1. Download Flextype
2. Unzip the contents to a new folder on your local computer, and upload to your webhost using the (S)FTP client of your choice. After you’ve done this, create directory project and be sure to chmod the following directory to 755 (or 777), so it is readable and writable by Flextype.

If you are running Flextype in subdirectory you should update RewriteBase in your .htaccess with /subdirectory/path/ and update base_path setting in your project/config/flextype/settings.yaml with subdirectory/path

By default cache is enabled, so after any changes you do with site templates, content or settings, you should delete flextype root var folder manually or with help of console command bin/flextype cache:clear

Installation issues

Broken subpages

Your homepage is working, but subpages won't open or lead to a server error?

1. Make sure that the .htaccess file is present in your Flextype folder.
2. Check if mod_rewrite is enabled on your server.
3. Please try setting the RewriteBase in the .htaccess file:

RewriteBase /

If you run Flextype in a subfolder, make sure to set the RewriteBase according to the name of your subfolder:

RewriteBase /my-subfolder/
