16) # Building it
17) 
18) 1. Ensure your server's version of PHP supports PDO and SQLite.
19) 2. Move config.php.sample to config.php, and replace `replaceme` with a passcode you choose.
20) 3. Optional: Use secure HTTP. I recommend getting a free SSL certificate from [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/).

22) # Using it
23) 
24) Here is [a live instance that serves an index page](https://kvs-php.dlma.com/).  You can send a key to get a value like so:
25) 
26)     https://kvs-php.dlma.com/?k=1Gxxxxxxxxxx
27) 
28) Special use case, here's how to get the value for the most-recently updated key of a list of keys. The list could contain any number of keys, but only one value will be returned.

33) 
34)     curl --data "key=value&auth={authorization}" https://{url}

38) # Trouble shooting
39) 

40) If you get the error "Exception : SQLSTATE\[HY000] \[14] unable to open database file", then [PHP's owner probably doesn't match the directory's owner](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5165183/apache-permissions-php-file-create-mkdir-fail). You may be able to fix it by noting PHP's owner from phpinfo(), and then invoke "sudo chown phpowner:phpowner (appropriate\_target)".
