CSE370 (Database Systems) lab group project.

1. First of all, download the whole file and place all of its contents (files and folders) inside the htdocs folder (caveat: if you have any other project in the htdocs you have to remove them). Note that, we are not using the downloaded folder instead we are placing all of the contents inside htdocs folder. The folder structure will be something like this.

htdocs/
├── assets
├── config
├── controllers
├── documents
├── images
├── index.php
├── quickmeds.sql
├── README.md
├── router.php
└── views

You can also change the Document Root inside Apache (httpd.conf) file to achieve the aforementioned thing. To do that first open XAMPP Control Panel and click on the config button which is placed along with apache.

After clicking that you will see Apache (httpd.conf) and open that with any text editor. Now, find a snippet like this:

# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your
# documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but
# symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations.
#
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews

Change the folder path inside DocumentRoot and Directory to your desired folder path. That's it !!!

2. Import the quickmeds.sql file inside the database. Also, change the database info (password, username etc) in config/db.php if necessary.
3. After doing all that, just simply 'start' Apache and MySQl from XAMPP Control Panel and visit localhost in your browser.

1. First ensure that you have php installed.

2. Import the quickmeds.sql file inside the database. Also, change the database info (password, username etc) in config/db.php if necessary.

3. Then go to the root directory and run this command to start the server

   php -S localhost:8080 .php_cli.php
   

4. Now visit localhost:8080 in your favorite browser.
