phpList is an open-source email marketing platform that allows you to create, manage, and send email campaigns to your subscribers. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to install phpList on Windows 11.
Before we start, make sure your Windows 11 computer meets the following requirements:
The first step is to download phpList from the official website https://www.phplist.com/. You can find the download link on the homepage of the website. Download the latest version of the software and save it to your computer.
Once you have downloaded the phpList software, extract the files from the downloaded zip folder to the location where you want to install the software. For example, you can extract the files to the C:\xampp\htdocs\ folder if you are using XAMPP.
Next, create a new MySQL database for phpList. You can use phpMyAdmin or any other MySQL management tool. Make sure you note down the database name, database username, and password as you will need this information later during the installation process.
To configure phpList, open the config/config.php file in a text editor. Enter the database details you have noted. Replace the database name, database username, and password with your information.
Now, open your web browser and navigate to the location where you have installed phpList. For example, if you have installed phpList in the C:\xampp\htdocs\ folder, you should go to http://localhost/phplist/
You should see the phpList installation wizard on your screen. Follow the instructions on the wizard to complete the installation process.
Once you have completed the installation process, phpList should be up and running on your Windows 11 computer. Verify by going to the admin panel and logging in with the username and password you created during the installation process.
In this tutorial, we have guided you through the steps to install phpList on Windows 11. If you have any issues during the installation process, refer to the official phpList documentation or seek assistance on the forum.
