BLIS (Branch Laravel 5.1 of eSaude )

BLIS is a port of the Basic Laboratory Information System (BLIS) to the Laravel PHP Framework by iLabAfrica. BLIS was originally developed by C4G.

Installation

Install the above mentioned requirements.
Download the source code to your computer
Change directory to the root folder of the application. Update composer then run it in order to install the application dependencies. You may need root permissions to update composer.

composer self-update
composer install
Update the application configuration files to suit your local settings:

Set the "Application URL" in /app/config/app.php
Create a database and set the database connection details in /app/config/database.php
The organization name in /app/config/kblis.php

Run the migrations to create the required database tables.
php artisan migrate
Load the basic seed data
php artisan db:seed
If #5 or #6 above fails, you may need to run the following command then repeat the two commands again.
composer dumpautoload
If you are running the application on a webserver eg. apache, ensure that the webserver has write permissions to the /app/storage folder. Ideally the web-root should be the /public folder. The default login credentials are 'administrator' 'password'.

Ensure that you enable mod_rewrite, sudo a2enmod rewrite if you are using apache. This should solve the problem of routing failures.
