How to Install DocPHT on Windows 11

DocPHT is a self-hosted documentation platform built with PHP that allows you to create and manage online documentation on your own server. Here's how to install DocPHT on Windows 11:

Pre-requisites

Steps

  1. Download the latest release of DocPHT from the official website: https://docpht.org/

  2. Extract the downloaded archive to the document root of your web server. For example, if you're using XAMPP, extract the files to C:\xampp\htdocs.

  3. Rename the extracted folder to docpht.

  4. Open a command prompt and navigate to the docpht directory.

  5. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:

    composer install
    

    If you don't have Composer installed, you can download it from https://getcomposer.org/download/.

  6. Once the dependencies are installed, make sure the storage, bootstrap/cache, and public/uploads directories are writable by the web server. You can do this by setting the appropriate file permissions.

  7. Edit the configuration file app/config.php and set the values to match your server environment.

  8. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/docpht/public/ to access the DocPHT installation wizard.

  9. Follow the installation wizard prompts to complete the installation process.

  10. Once the installation is complete, you can log in to the DocPHT dashboard at http://localhost/docpht/public/admin with the default username and password: admin / admin.

That's it! You now have DocPHT installed on your Windows 11 machine and can start creating and managing your documentation.

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!
