Installation

Before starting the installation you have to check out the system requirements first.

Install on Apache

• Create a new MySQL (or MariaDB) database from your cPanel (or from similar hosting manager) using phpMyAdmin (or similar databases management tool). And add user to manage the database with full privileges/permissions.

• After creating the database, unzpip the file you have downloaded from CodeCanyon and upload the contents of the application folder to your server root, usually /path/to/www/ or /path/to/html/ or /path/to/httpdocs/ or /path/to/public_html/.

  Always use a desktop application like FileZilla to upload files to FTP as opposed to web based file managers to avoid issues with corrupted or not properly uploaded files.

  Make sure that .htaccess file got copied properly from the download to main app's folder on your server.

  This is what the files should look like on your server:

• Go to the script's installation URL (i.e. http://mysite.com/install).

• And follow the web installation wizard.

Install on Nginx

• Create a new MySQL (or MariaDB) database from your cPanel (or from similar hosting manager) using phpMyAdmin (or similar databases management tool). And add user to manage the database with full privileges/permissions.

...
root "/path/to/www/public";
...
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
...

...
root "/path/to/public_html/public";
...
location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
...

Check out this link for more information about the Nginx's Server Configuration.

• Then restart Nginx.

• Go to the script's installation URL (i.e. http://mysite.com/install).

• And follow the web installation wizard.

Install on Localhost

• You have to create a local virtual host by using a domain name (eg. http://mysite.localhost) instead of localhost (http://localhost/mysite).

  • This can be easily done using Laravel Herd (MacOS & Windows) or MAMP PRO (MacOS & Windows) or Laragon (Windows only).

  • Or with XAMPP (Windows, MacOS & Linux) by following the steps in these articles:

    • How to Change localhost to a Custom Domain Name in XAMPP/WAMP (Windows)?

    • How to change the URL from "localhost" to something else, on a local system using wampserver?

• Restart your server.

• Create a new MySQL (or MariaDB) database. And add user to manage the database with full privileges/permissions.

• Go to the script's installation URL (i.e. http://mysite.localhost/install).

• And follow the web installation wizard.
