daux.io/docs/01_Features/Live_mode.md

Keep in mind, this mode can be used for production, but it is not recommended.

The whole directory must be scanned on each request. This might not make a big impact on small documentations but can be a bottleneck on bigger ones.

## Running Locally

There are several ways to run the docs locally. You can use something like <a href="http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html" target="_blank">MAMP</a> or <a href="http://www.wampserver.com/en/" target="_blank">WAMP</a>.

The easiest is to use PHP's built-in server.

For that i've included a short command, run `daux serve` in the projects folder to start the local web server. By default the server will run at: <a href="http://localhost:8085" target="_blank">http://localhost:8085</a>


## Running Remotely

### Clean URLs configuration

Daux provides native support for Clean URLs provided the webserver has its URL Rewrite module enabled.
To enable the same, set the toggle in the `config.json` file in the `/docs` folder.

```json
{
  "live": {
    "clean_urls": true
  }
}
```

### Apache

Copy the files from the repo to a web server that can run PHP 5.6 or greater.

There is an included `.htaccess` for Apache web server.

### Nginx

Daux.io works perfectly fine on Nginx too, just drop this configuration in your `nginx.conf`

```
server {
    listen 8085;
    server_name  localhost;

    index index.html index.php;
    charset utf-8;

    root /var/www/docs;

    location / {
        if (!-e $request_filename){
            rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php$1;
        }
    }

    location ~ \.php {
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
        #fastcgi_pass   127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;

        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    }
}
```

## IIS

If you have set up a local or remote IIS web site, you may need a `web.config` with:

* A rewrite configuration, for handling clean urls.
* A mime type handler for less files, if using a custom theme.

### Clean URLs

The `web.config` needs an entry for `<rewrite>` under `<system.webServer>`:

```xml
<configuration>
	<system.webServer>
		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url=".*" />
					<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
						<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
						<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
					</conditions>
					<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" appendQueryString="false" />
				</rule>
			</rules>
		</rewrite>
	</system.webServer>
</configuration>
```

To use clean URLs on IIS 6, you will need to use a custom URL rewrite module, such as [URL Rewriter](http://urlrewriter.net/).
