<h2 class='first'>About YOURLS</h2>
<h3 id="what">What is YOURLS</h3>
<p><strong>YOURLS</strong> stands for <strong>Your Own URL Shortener</strong>. It is a small set of PHP scripts that will allow you to run your own URL shortening service (<em>a la</em> TinyURL or bitly).</p>
<p>Running your own URL shortener is fun, geeky and useful: you own your data and don't depend on third party services. It's also a great way to add branding to your short URLs, instead of using the same public URL shortener everyone uses.</p>
<h3 id="features">YOURLS Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><tt>Free</tt> and <tt>Open Source</tt> software.</li>

<li>Sequential or custom URL keyword</li>
<li>Handy <tt>bookmarklets</tt> to easily shorten and share links</li>
<li>Awesome <tt>stats</tt>: historical click reports, referrers tracking, visitors geo-location</li>
<li>Neat <tt>Ajaxed</tt> interface</li>
<li>Terrific <tt>Plugin</tt> architecture to easily implement new features</li>
<li>Cool developer <tt>API</tt></li>

<!-- YOURLS plugins -->
<div id="PluginsDiv" style="display:none">
<h2 class='first'>Plugins for YOURLS</h2>
<h3 id="plugins">Plugins?</h3>
<p>Plugins are additional PHP scripts that extend the functionalities or features of YOURLS. The core of YOURLS is designed to be as light as possible and avoid bloat (implementing functions not everybody needs) and to allow for easy customization.</p>
<p>Using the plugin architecture, you can add new features to YOURLS without having to modify core files. This way, your changes won't be lost when you upgrade your YOURLS installation and you can easily activate and deactivate a plugin from the admin interface.</p>
<p>There's a growing number of plugins available: check the <a href="http://yourls.org/pluginlist">Plugin list</a>.</p>
<h3 id="documentation">Documentation</h3>
<p>Several sample plugins are included in the archive. Read the source and learn the concept. It's easy and fun!</p>

<!-- FAQ Instructions -->
<div id="FAQDiv" style="display: none;">
<h2 class='first'>FAQ</h2>
<h3 id="requirement">Server requirements</h3>
<ol>
<li>A server with <strong>mod_rewrite</strong> enabled</li>
<li>At least <strong>PHP 5.2</strong></li>
<li>At least <strong>MYSQL 4.1</strong></li>
<li><em>Note</em>: YOURLS can also run on <a href="https://github.com/YOURLS/YOURLS/wiki/Nginx-configuration">Nginx</a> and <a href="http://www.ututech.com/2010/10/configuring-yourls-to-work-with-cherokee-web-server/">Cherokee</a></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="recommendation">Server recommendations</h3>
<ul>
<li>PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/curl">CURL extension</a> installed if you plan on playing with the API</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="limitations">Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>Maximum length of custom keyword is <strong>200 characters</strong></li>
<li>That makes about <strong>8 sexdecillions of centillions</strong> of available URLs (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers">seriously</a>. That's a 355 digits number). </li>
</ul>
<h3 id="base3662">Difference Between Base 36 And Base 62 Encoding</h3>
<ul>
<li>Base 36 encoding uses <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</code> for short URLs</li>
<li>Base 62 encoding uses <code>0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</code></li>
<li>Stick to one setting, don't change after you've created links as it will change all your short URLs!</li>
<li>Base 36 is the default and should be picked if you're not sure.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="shortdomain">Getting a short domain name for your YOURLS install</h3>
<ul>
<li>Unless you plan on making it public and as popular as bit.ly, any shared hosting will be fine. Ozh runs all his YOURLS instance on <a href="http://yourls.org/dreamhost">Dreamhost</a> and it works just great.</li>
<li><a href="http://domai.nr/">Domainr</a> is a fun search tool that might inspire and help you</li>
<li>Aim for exotic top level domains (.in, .im, .li ...), they're often cheap and a lot are still available. <a href="https://www.gandi.net/domain/buy/search/">Gandi</a> is a pretty comprehensive registrar, for instance.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="htaccess">YOURLS needs its own .htaccess</h3>
<ul>
<li>You cannot install YOURLS and, say, WordPress, in the same directory. Both need to handle URLs differently and need their own <tt>.htaccess</tt> file.</li>
<li>If you want to install YOURLS on the same domain than your blog, give it its own (short) subdirectory, such as yourblog.com/s/ (for "short") or yourblog.com/x/ (for "exit")</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="does404">If YOURLS generates 404 for your short URLs</h3>
<ul>
<li>Make sure <strong>mod_rewrite</strong> is enabled with your Apache server</li>
<li>Make sure your .htaccess file looks like <a href="http://yourls.org/htaccess">this one</a></li>
<li>Eventually, check your server Apache configuration allows use of .htaccess (<tt>AllowOverride All</tt> directive, ask your server admin)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="noindex">There is no index page at the root of the install</h3>
<ul>
<li>Indeed. It's intented. It's up to the user to make what they need. Some will redirect the root to a different place, some make a public interface for anyone to shorten links, some make a portfolio. You make it.</li>
<li>If you want to make a public interface and run your own little bitly.com, there's a sample file provided as an example: <code>sample-public-front-page.txt</code>. This implies important issues to deal with: spam, performance and security. Read <a href="http://yourls.org/public">Public Shortening</a> for important information.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="lowercase">Uppercase letters in short URLs are eaten up, eg "<code>OmgOzh</code>" becomes "<code>mgzh</code>" !</h3>
<ul>
<li>Indeed. It's intented if you selected Base 36 (see above). Letters that don't belong to the character set, eg <code>@#!</code> or <code>ABC</code>, are removed.</li>
<li>If you want to force lowercase, you'll need a <a href="http://yourls.org/pluginlist">plugin</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="feedback">Feedback, feature requests and bug reporting</h3>
<ol>
<li>Please don't get in touch directly by mail or Twitter. <a href="http://yourls.org/support">Please</a>.</li>
<li>Check the <a href="http://yourls.org/roadmap">Road Map</a> for future features.</li>
