A lightweight BitTorrent Tracker written in PHP, with an SQL backend, for people that just want to host a tracker, not the torrent listing site.
 
## Installation
 
### What Do You Need?
 
#### Required
* A PHP compatible web-server.
* PHP >= 5.4.0 with Core, SimpleXML, date, filter, json, mysqli, pcre, & standard extensions. (Generated using [PHP CompatInfo](http://php5.laurent-laville.org/compatinfo/)
* A MySQLI supported database, such as MySQL >= 4.1
 
#### Recommended
* The latest version of Nginx  ( >= 1.10.0 with HTTP/2 )
* [The latest version of PHP](http://php.net/supported-versions.php)
* The latest version of MariaDB ( >= 10 )
 
### Install Guide
1. Copy `_settings/phoenix.default.php` to `_settings/phoenix.custom.php`
2. Edit the variables in `_settings/phoenix.custom.php`
2. Upload all the `.php` and `.sh` files to your server.
4. Load `admin.php` in your browser and run the `Setup` option.
 
## Configuration
Configuration should take place in `_settings/phoenix.custom.php`, NOT `_settings/phoenix.default.php`. Phoenix _will_ attempt to use the default configuration if yours is missing.
 
### Cron (Automating Maintenance)
1. Configure `_cron/hourly/backup-database.sh` by changing the path in the second line, and the username, password, database, and file in the last three.
2. Edit `_settings/phoenix.custom.php` and set `$settings['clean_with_cron']` to `true` instead of `false`. You can also set `$settings['clean_with_requests']` to `0` to save processing time.
3. Edit your crontab with `crontab -e`, and add a crontab like the following. You can edit the times, and should make sure the paths are correct by running the commands after the asteriks.
```
15 * * * * php ~/phoenix/_cron/hourly/clean-and-optimize.php
30 * * * * ~/phoenix/_cron/hourly/backup-database.sh
```
