Application Setup

Prerequisites

1. XAMPP: Ensure XAMPP is installed on your machine.
2. Composer: Ensure Composer is installed on your machine.
3. MailHog: For email testing (optional)

Linux

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ratamahataV1/advisable_TryToDo.git
   

2. Move the Application to htdocs directory of your XAMPP installation:

    sudo mv advisable_TryToDo-main /opt/lampp/htdocs/tryToDo
   

3. Navigate to the Application Directory:

   cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/tryToDo
   

4. Install Dependencies:

   composer install
   

5. Start XAMPP:

   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
   

6. Set Up the Database:

   • Open phpMyAdmin from XAMPP (usually available at http://localhost/phpmyadmin).
   • Create a new database (e.g., tryToDo).
   • Import the database backup file (tryToDo_quickEX.sql) into the newly created database.

7. Configure the Application:

   • Update the database configuration in application/config/database.php:

     $db['default'] = array(
         'dsn'   => '',
         'hostname' => 'localhost',
         'username' => 'root',  // Default XAMPP user
         'password' => '',      // Default XAMPP password is empty
         'database' => 'tryToDo',
         'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
         // other settings...
     );

   • Update the base URL in application/config/config.php:

     $config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/tryToDo/';

8. Run the Application:

   • Open a browser and navigate to:

     http://localhost/tryToDo/
     

Troubleshooting

• Ensure XAMPP and Composer are correctly installed and configured.
• Check the database credentials (see the docs) and ensure the database is correctly imported.
• If there are permission issues on Linux, ensure the application directory has the correct permissions:

  sudo chown -R $USER:www-data /opt/lampp/htdocs/tryToDo
  sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/lampp/htdocs/tryToDo
