How to Install Phproject on Windows 10

Phproject is a powerful, open-source project management tool. Installing Phproject on Windows 10 is easy, and this tutorial will guide you step by step through the process.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that your Windows 10 system meets the following prerequisites.

• PHP 7.2 or higher
• Apache web server
• MySQL 5.7 or higher
• Composer
• Git (optional but recommended)

Step 1: Download and Extract Phproject

To download and extract Phproject, follow these steps:

1. Visit the Phproject website and download the latest version of the software.
2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a location on your computer, such as C:\phproject.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Phproject requires several dependencies to function correctly. To install the dependencies, follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
2. Navigate to the directory where you extracted Phproject (C:\phproject, for example).
3. Run the following command: composer install

Composer will download and install all the required dependencies.

Step 3: Setup Database

Phproject requires a MySQL database to store its data. To set up the database, follow these steps:

1. Open your favorite MySQL client and create a new database called phproject.
2. Create a new MySQL user with full access to the phproject database.
3. Open the config.php file located in the app/ directory.
4. Set the DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASS variables to the correct values for your MySQL database.

Step 4: Configure Apache

To configure Apache, follow these steps:

1. Open the httpd.conf file located in the Apache configuration directory (usually C:\Apache24\conf\).
2. Uncomment the following lines:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule php7_module "c:/php/php7apache2_4.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php"

3. Edit the DocumentRoot and Directory directives to point to the public/ directory of your Phproject installation (C:\phproject\public, for example).

Step 5: Start Apache and Test Phproject

To start Apache and test Phproject, follow these steps:

1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
2. Navigate to the Apache bin/ directory (usually C:\Apache24\bin\).
3. Run the following command: httpd.exe
4. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost.
5. You should see the Phproject login page. Log in with the default credentials (email: admin@admin.com, password: admin) to test the installation.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Phproject on Windows 10.
