Great tutorial! I didn't think I'd ever get this installed, but your video made it possible, thank you.
However, is anyone else struggling to get it working after install? I can create the short URLs, but they do not redirect - instead I get a 404, and no logging of the click.

Excellent tutorial. Very clear and concise instructions with no "fluff."

Thank you for the excellent explanation! Helped me a lot :-)

Thank you for your great tut!
PS: small bug report. If you rename the "admin" folder to something different - e.g., "adm" - the system could NOT generate a short URL for you.
The system is stuck with the "loading wheel" on the button.
You should NOT change the name of the "admin" folder.

I have installed but when I visit the short url, it is showing "404-The requested URL was not found on this server."

[PajakSmart]

Hi, is there plugin available for wordpress? So dont need to use coding😁

If you get an error like ""PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user" try changing your database password, PHP may not like some characters

Can you make tutorial on YOURLS with multiple users like bitly or polur?

[jamess]

Hey thanks for the video. How can I make this work with my WordPress site?

[mruc]

[kappino]

Hi there thanks for the tutorial. Really useful. Do you know why my shortlinks always end in 403 Forbidden?

[jayess]

Nice vid :) Maybe you can help me. I was told I could use YOURS to create a url for a QR code? I'd like to be able to change where the url points without creating a new QR code each time. I've installed YOURS with Softaclous but have no idea how to do the rest. Any suggestions?

@troublechute Hi Thank you for the great tutorial. I did Every thing as mention in the video but am getting stuck at the login page. Even after installing the correct id pass in the Yourls login page aftr installation the page is not redirecting to the admin panel. Instead it again prompts id pass with no errors. Anything i missed out/

i have installed it in my root. Please help

When I try to go to the admin folder on my website it says that that page can‘t be found, but i can go to the other folders for some reason Edit: Nevermind it helped renaming the admin folder
