Cortex website on PageCore

This repository contains a self-contained PageCore installation and the Cortex marketing site. The original Design Canvas proposal is preserved under design-source/.

Local start

Requirements:

• PHP 7.4+ with the standard fileinfo extension
• PowerShell
• Node.js/npm only when using the npm shortcuts below

npm run start

Alternatively, run scripts/Start-Cortex.ps1 directly. The script uses PHP from PATH; set PAGECORE_PHP_EXE to an explicit executable when needed.

Then open:

• Website: http://127.0.0.1:8770/
• CMS: http://127.0.0.1:8770/cms/login.php?next=/

MVP credentials:

• Username: admin
• Password: cortex-demo

Change the password hash in cms/config.php before shared or production use. For deployment, the username and password hash can be supplied without editing the repository through PAGECORE_ADMIN_USERNAME and PAGECORE_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH.

Editable MVP regions
