Need help with setting up the Solder API please!

[cydial]

First of all, I want to note that I am using my account for web hosting and not just file hosting.

Okay, so I want to set up Technic Solder API on my hosting account. I have read their manual (found here) and read this:

• PHP >=5.3.0 and < 5.5.0 (Will not work on older versions due to usage of new features in PHP 5.3.0, It will not work on version 5.5 or higher due to an incompatibility with Laravel 3)
• PHP MCrypt Extension
• PHP Curl Extension

Now, I have no idea how to install MCrypt or Curl so I need help with that. Also, it asks me to run some commands:

Once you have everything filled in for your configuration, you will need to migrate your database. Doing this isreally easy, just run the following two commands in order from the root Solder folder.

1. php artisan migrate:install
2. php artisan migrate

So, I have no idea where I can enter these commands. Can anyone help me please? I'm really stuck here...

as far as im aware, x10 doesn't allow access to the console, which is what is needed to run the commands. for solder hosting, its best to get a dedicated server or find a host that allows SSH access.

...or find a host that allows SSH access.

About that: I don't think you can install whatever you want via SSH on a web hosting account on shared hosting (not talking about hear anyway). So really, the best way to go would be to use a VPS or above.

Hi,

Both mcrypt and curl will work fine on our free hosting service. Although you wouldn't be able to run the commands on free hosting, you could set up your site on your computer, and then upload the files and database to your hosting account.

Thank you,
