</Directory>

Replace yourdomain.com with your website's domain name and /path/to/attendize with the absolute path to where you installed Attendize.

Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, and then ENTER.
Restart the Apache web server using the following command:
```
sudo /usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl -k restart
```

Copy the .env.example file to .env using the following command:

```
Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     DocumentRoot "/path/to/attendize"
     ServerName yourdomain.com
     <Directory "/path/to/attendize">

         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
         RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
