Cinemania

Cinemania is now structured as a Node.js + Express application with EJS templates.

Run

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Initialize the database (requires PostgreSQL):

# IMPORTANT: If you are using WSL, you must start the PostgreSQL service first:
sudo service postgresql start

# Then run the initialization script:
sudo -u postgres psql -f db_setup.sql

# On Windows/macOS (using pgAdmin or Postico):
# Connect to your local server and execute the contents of db_setup.sql

3. Start server:

npm start

4. Open in browser:

http://localhost:8080

Project Structure

• index.js - Express server entrypoint
• views/pagini/index.ejs - main homepage template
• views/fragmente/head.ejs - reusable head section
• views/fragmente/header.ejs - reusable header/navigation section
• views/fragmente/footer.ejs - reusable footer section
• resurse/ - static assets served by Express

Static Assets

Express serves static files from resurse using server-style absolute paths:

• /resurse/stiluri/... for CSS
• /resurse/imagini/... for images and favicons
• /resurse/documente/... for PDF and downloadable files

All resource references in EJS pages should use absolute URLs (for example /resurse/stiluri/general.css) and not relative paths.
