Misirlou API

Three tomatoes are walking down the street - a poppa tomato, a momma tomato, and a little baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. Poppa tomato gets angry, goes over to the baby tomato, and smooshes him... and says, 'ketchup!'

Misirlou is Ripple's system for managing tournaments. This is the API/backend, and why write it in PHP, you may ask? Because I thought that the thing wouldn't have grown and that writing a few PHP files would have been enough. What a fool!

To get started, simply copy config.sample.php to config.php, and edit the values in $config. Everything should be pretty obvious and need no explanation.

Done that, create/update the database schema by running from the command line migrate.php. Finally, create an nginx config so that all requests are routed to /router.php:

server {
	autoindex on;
	listen 80;
	server_name quarterpounderwithcheese.org;
	root /home/howl/oc/misirlou-api;
	charset utf-8;
	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /router.php;
	}
	include php;
}

(The configuration above is actually not recommended in production - you should at least remove the autoindex.)
