Lessn

Installation

  1. Open /lessn/-/config.php in a plaintext editor, create a Lessn username and password, and enter your database connection details.
  2. Upload the entire /lessn/ directory to your server. For the shortest URLs, place it at the root of your site and rename to a single character. Example: http://doma.in/x/
  3. Visit http://doma.in/x/-/ to Lessn a new URL and grab the bookmarklets (the required database table is created automatically the first time you visit Lessn).
  4. Visit http://doma.in/x/ to see all Lessn URLs you've created.

NOTE

If your Lessn'd URLs aren't working you probably didn't upload the .htaccess file. Enable "Show invisible files" in your FTP application.
