Learning -app-ecommerce update index.php

Shell Scripting
#1

I tried following the instructions found here GitHub - kodekloudhub/learning-app-ecommerce: A sample e-commerce learning app

For step 6: update index.php, it is not clear to me how to update the index.php file with the code snippet. Do I add it at the beginning of the file? After the tag? At the end of the file?

#2

You should add loadEnv function and database credentials preferably at the beginning of index.php (for code to work correctly).

#3

Is there some step missing? The last steps are cloning a repo and modifying some configurations ( creating the .env file and modifying index.php). After cloning the repo there is no step to start an app, or restart a service or anything like that.

#4

You don’t need to restart anything, httpd service should automatically pick up any modification in index.php and serve the updated content.

Turns out I was not cloning the repo in the right directory (/var/www/html/) so it couldn’t pick up the changes. Thank you for the hints!
