Where's My Ride Setup

Step 1 of 5 — Welcome

Welcome

Where's My Ride is an AI-powered transit inquiry system that handles "where is my bus?" calls and chats. This wizard will help you set up the application in a few quick steps:

Check server requirements
Configure your database and Redis connections
Create the database tables
Set up your administrator account

Install Type

Pick how this PHP install will run. You can't change it later without redoing setup.

Single-tenant DEFAULT

Dev box or dedicated customer install. One tenant's MySQL + admin UI on this server. URLs have no tenant prefix. Pick this if unsure.

Shared multi-tenant POOL

Hosts many tenants under one PHP install with per-tenant databases. Sets up the operator DB; tenants are provisioned later from /platform.

Tenant Slug (optional) Sets SINGLE_TENANT_SLUG in .env. Used for URL generation and identifying this install in operator-side records. Leave blank if unsure.

Application Name Shown in the browser title bar and login page.

Environment Demo mode enables data purge tools and shows a DEMO badge.
