You only need to edit includes/config.php

/**
* short_url_service
* Remember $config['short_url'] There we set up wich service we want to use.
* default: tinyurl
*/
$config['short_url_service'] = 'tinyurl'; // Values: tinyurl | google | isgd | bitly | custom
 
 
/**
* custom_short_url_api
* If you set short_url_service to custom you need to specify the API url for your custom service
* including user login, output format (raw text) and at the end the empty url param (see the example)
* Note: Your service must have raw text output via GET.
*/
$config['custom_short_url_api'] = ''; // Example: http://yoursite.com/yourls-api.php?format=simple&action=shorturl&username=<USERNAME>&password=<PASSWORD>&url=

these are the changes made in config.php:

$config['short_url_service'] = 'custom'; // Values: tinyurl | google | isgd | bitly | custom

$config['custom_short_url_api'] = 'http://zik.co.il/yourls-api.php?format=simple&action=shorturl&username=<****>&password=
<*******>&url='; /

after this done, when i upload an image i get a forbidden error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /yourls-api.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache Server at zik.co.il Port 80
" />

please advice.

Well, if the standalone version of the YOURLs API: http://zik.co.il/yourls-api.php doesn't work it's pretty sure that it won't work also when Chevereto try to fetch it. Try to go to yourls support to know what you are doing wrong in your YOURLs setup.
