Mibew is an open-source live support chat application that you can install on your server to offer a live support chat service for your website visitors. This tutorial will walk you through the process of installing Mibew on your Windows 10 system.
Before you can install Mibew on your Windows 10 system, you will need to have the following installed:
The first thing you need to do is to download Mibew from the official website at https://mibew.org/download/. Once you reach the page, click on the "Download Mibew" button, save the zip file to your computer and extract the folder.
Mibew requires a database to store its data. To create a new database, navigate to your XAMPP (or WAMP) control panel, click on "phpMyAdmin," then click on "New" to create a new database.
In the "Create Database" page, give your new database a name and click on "Create."
Once you have created your new database, you need to create a new user account with privileges to access and edit the database. To create a new user account, go to the "User Accounts" tab in phpMyAdmin, click on "Add user account," and fill out the necessary information.
Once you have created a new user account, make sure you assign it the privileges to access and edit the Mibew database you created in Step 2.
After creating a new user account and assigning it the necessary privileges, you need to edit the Mibew configuration file to include your database connection information.
Open the "config.yml" file in the Mibew folder using a text editor, and replace the database settings with the following information:
database:
driver: pdo_mysql
host: localhost
port: 3306
dbname: [database_name]
user: [database_username]
password: [database_password]
options:
1002: "SET NAMES utf8mb4"
Replace the [database_name], [database_username], and [database_password] with the values for your database.
After you have made the necessary changes to the Mibew configuration file, you can upload the entire Mibew folder to your web server.
If you are using XAMPP, you can upload the Mibew folder to the htdocs folder of your XAMPP installation.
To install Mibew, open your web browser and navigate to the location where you uploaded the Mibew folder. You should see the Mibew installation page.
Follow the installation steps to complete the installation process. Once installation is complete, you should be able to use and customize Mibew for your live support chat service.
Congratulations, you have now installed Mibew on your Windows 10 system!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
