Configuration

• For the Phast engine to work you need to white-list a php file. To do so add the following lines to the .htaccess sections:

    ##
    ## White listed folders
    ##
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/plugins/vdlp/phast/phast\.php*
    ...
    ...

    ##
    ## Block all PHP files, except index
    ##
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/plugins/vdlp/phast/phast\.php*
    ...
    ...

To configure this plugin execute the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Vdlp\Phast\ServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create a config/phast.php file in your app where you can modify the configuration.

Please check the default configuration in vendor/kiboit/phast/src/Environment/config-default.php.
