I’m a designer trying to setup a personal website using Kirby. My only requirement is, I would like to setup, develop the template and administer the site using my iPad Pro.
I’ve downloaded Phpwin and DraftCode applications, which allow to run a local environment of PHP, similar to MAMP. I have trouble making Kirby run on those environments, because image headers and links don’t seem to work.
Do you have prior experience with this use case and what are good practices to run Kirby on an iPad Pro?
It does not say if it’s running apache or not, and i suspect it is not, since your images and links do not work. This suggests the .htaccess is not being used, so the rewrite rules are not being utilised.
Looking at the release notes of phpwin, it only supports PHP 7.2, but for the latest release of Kirby, i.e. 3.5 to work, you need at least PHP 7.3. DraftCode seems to require an additional in-app purchase to support up-to-date PHP versions if the information on the app page is not outdated.
Also, it seems that this phpwin uses PHP built-in server (although it doesn’t say anywhere), and to make this work with Kirby you would have to start the server using the router.php file (https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/quickstart#requirements), but I wonder if this app provides a setting to do so.
DraftCode help file also says that is currently doesn’t support rewrite rules, so this doesn’t meet Kirby’s requirements.
Hi @omar_regios, being based on an additional device (a Raspberry Pi) this may not be what you are after, but as I just stumbled across this article and remembered this thread: iPad Pi - Hicks.design
