openlist's Issues

port to db connection

My port of db isn't 3306 I need to change to 1204.
How can I change this in the db connection at openlist?

Time to move to Node JS and MongoDB?

Hello,
This is really a great web-app. Complete functionalities, I didn't install but I assume all things written in README are implemented.
This issue is a proposal for making a similar app in Node JS if and only if you have the motivation and time.
I wrote one called Classified-ads-48 the thing about is Maps, (with geolocation and search by any geo-point).
If you like the idea we can work on something in between this repo and mine !
Note I'm not the best in Node.JS and web dev in general, I'm learning through doing.
Thanks !

Install error

Hi! I get an error when trying to install

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\openlist-master\install.php:439 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\openlist-master\install.php on line 439

I guess its something about db connection.
