 242              <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>
 243  
 244              <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>

 383              <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>
 384              <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>
 385              <p>There's a growing number of plugins available: check the <a href="https://yourls.org/awesome">Plugin list</a>.</p>

 533              <ol>
 534                  <li>We recommend <strong>PHP 7.4</strong> or above</li>
 535                  <li>You will need at least <strong>MYSQL 5</strong></li>
 536                  <li>A web server with <strong>mod_rewrite</strong> enabled<br/>
 537                  <em>Note</em>: YOURLS can also run on <a href="https://docs.yourls.org/guide/server-configuration.html#nginx">Nginx</a>,
 538                      <a href="https://github.com/lylebrown/YOURLS-Cherokee">Cherokee</a> and <a href="https://github.com/YOURLS/awesome-yourls#installation-guides">more</a> !</li>
 539                  <li><strong>HTTPS</strong> support</li>
 540                  <li>PHP <a href="http://www.php.net/curl">CURL extension</a> installed if you plan on playing with the API</li>
 541              </ol>
 542  
 543              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;limitations"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="limitations">Limitations</h3></a>
 544              <ul>
 545                  <li>Maximum length of custom keyword is <strong>100 characters</strong></li>
 546                  <li>That makes <strong>several septillions of quinquagintillion</strong> of possible short URLs (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers">seriously</a>. That's a 180-digit number). </li>
 547              </ul>
 548  
 549              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;base3662"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="base3662">Difference Between Base 36 And Base 62 Encoding</h3></a>
 550              <ul>
 551                  <li>Base 36 encoding uses <code>0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</code> for short URLs</li>
 552                  <li>Base 62 encoding uses <code>0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</code></li>
 553                  <li>Stick to one setting, don't change after you've created links as it will change all your short URLs!</li>
 554                  <li>Base 36 is the default and should be picked if you're not sure.</li>
 555              </ul>
 556  
 557              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;shortdomain"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="shortdomain">Getting a short domain name for your YOURLS install</h3></a>
 558              <ul>
 559                  <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="https://yourls.org/dreamhost">Dreamhost</a> and it works just great.</li>
 560                  <li><a href="http://domai.nr/">Domainr</a> is a fun search tool that might inspire and help you</li>
 561                  <li>Aim for exotic top-level domains (.in, .im, .li ...), they're often cheap and a lot are still available. <a href="http://yourls.org/gandi">Gandi</a> is a pretty comprehensive registrar, for instance.</li>
 562              </ul>
 563  
 564              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;htaccess"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="htaccess">YOURLS needs its own .htaccess</h3></a>
 565              <ul>
 566                  <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>
 567                  <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>
 568              </ul>
 569  
 570              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;does404"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="does404">If YOURLS generates 404 for your short URLs</h3></a>
 571              <ul>
 572                  <li>Make sure <strong>mod_rewrite</strong> is enabled with your Apache server</li>
 573                  <li>Make sure your .htaccess file looks like <a href="https://yourls.org/htaccess">this one</a></li>
 574                  <li>Check that your server Apache configuration allows use of .htaccess (<tt>AllowOverride All</tt> directive, ask your server admin)</li>
 575                  <li>Eventually, refer to <a href="https://yourls.org/support">Troubleshooting first steps</a>.</li>
 576              </ul>
 577  
 578              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;sequential"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="sequential">Random versus sequential short URLs</h3></a>
 579              <ul>
 580                  <li>Out of the box, YOURLS generates sequential short URLS (ie <code>ab31</code>, then <code>ab32</code> and so on)</li>
 581                  <li>If you prefer random short URLs (ie <code>j3kz1</code> then <code>13hz7</code> like Bitly does), just activate the plugin that comes with YOURLS.</li>
 582              </ul>
 583  
 584              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;stats"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="stats">"Stats don't update as I think they should", "difference with Google Analytics", etc...</h3></a>
 585              <ul>
 586                  <li>Out of the box, YOURLS updates traffic stats every time a short URL is requested. Period.</li>
 587                  <li>This said, some clients (like indexing bots, your internet browser) may skip requesting a short URL if they have the final destination known in cache.</li>
 588                  <li>Conversely, other stat tools may use different techniques to track hits (using javascript or not, using IP address, filtering multiple requests by same client, etc...)</li>
 589                  <li>Bottom line: your mileage may vary with different tools, but there is no bug in YOURLS regarding that matter.</li>
 590              </ul>
 591  
 592              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;noindex"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="noindex">There is no index page at the root of the install</h3></a>
 593              <ul>
 594                  <li>Indeed. It's intended. 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. See <a href="https://yourls.org/awesome">Awesome YOURLS</a> for inspiration!</li>
 595                  <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="https://yourls.org/public">Public Shortening</a> for important information.</li>
 596              </ul>
 597  
 598              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;lowercase"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="lowercase">Uppercase letters in short URLs are eaten up, eg "<code>OmgOzh</code>" becomes "<code>mgzh</code>" !</h3></a>
 599              <ul>
 600                  <li>Indeed. It's intended 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>
 601                  <li>If you want to force lowercase, you'll need a <a href="https://yourls.org/awesome">plugin</a>.</li>
 602              </ul>
 603  
 604              <a class="anch" href="#FAQ;feedback"><span>&#10148;</span><h3 id="feedback">Feedback, feature requests and bug reporting</h3></a>
 605              <ol>
 606                  <li>Please don't get in touch directly by mail or Twitter. <a href="https://yourls.org/support">Please</a>.</li>
