mkdir -p logs && touch logs/system.log

3. Set permissions (adjust according to your environment):

chmod -R 755 logs/

   • Customize .htaccess if needed

Important Notes

⚠️ Internet Requirement
Application requires internet connection for proper styling as it uses Tailwind CSS CDN.

📁 Logs Configuration
If you encounter log-related errors:

1. Manually create logs directory:

   mkdir -p logs && touch logs/system.log

2. Ensure proper write permissions:

   chmod 755 logs/ && chmod 644 logs/system.log

Folder Structure

htdocs/
└── lwm/
    ├── public/
    │   └── index.php (main entry point)
    ├── logs/         (auto-generated logs)
    ├── config/
    │   └── config.php (configuration file)
    └── src/          (core application code)

Troubleshooting

• Blank page: Verify PHP version (requires 7.4+)
• Styling issues: Check internet connection
• Permission errors: Verify write access to logs directory
• 404 errors: Ensure mod_rewrite is enabled (Apache)
