I am working on a project with PHP server and I have no previous experience, so I will try to explain myself in the best way!
After I built my website and put the project in the XAMPP folder in order for the PHP browser to run, I had to also download the XAMPP control panel and run APACHE.
My question is how do I give permission to my team to also be able to open the site without downloading XAMPP and to belong to the server I created in PHPmyadmin, do I need an external server? Or is there another way? I would appreciate your help, thank you!

I have created an administrative system for libraries which basically lets you register books, users, borrowings and all kind of stuff that happens in a library. To code and test it, I used XAMPP, in my own PC, using Apache PHP and MySQL to structure and develop the application.
It works, and has a very complete and efficient set of functions and utilities, that is why I plan to implement it in my school's library, that for years has been using Microsoft Excel as a tool to organize all the books and students.
The thing is: I don't understand how to setup this app as a local web application. The idea is to install the folders and files in the library computer so it can control the system locally and through a browser (using localhost to access the PHP application).
I know it is possible to simply install XAMPP manually and copy the folder to htdocs and then use it normally, but I want to eliminate the manual part, and have some sort of setup that lets any person install the app without having to understand how Apache or MySQL works.
Does anybody know what could I do? I have though of creating a series of batch files (the library PC uses Windows) and move folders, create shortcuts, etc. using normal cmd commands. It would be a better alternative, but still the user would need to go through XAMPP (or some other service) setup prompts.
Thanks very much
you can create a bash file to automate this process.
I am working on a moodle based project, which I inherited from someone else. Having copied the files into htdocs folder and started MAMP, the files still don't show in the browser. Instead, the browser automatically initiates a download. I might be required to change the config file, however, since I do not have much experience with php and SQL I am not sure what exactly. My part of the project is to develop html and css, but need to be able to run it locally first.
What do I need to do to get the files run locally? The route I use is localhost:8888/whatever/whatever/index.php
In case someone else runs into the same problem - Apache downloads php files instead of reading them - here is what helped me.
.htaccess file may need changes if the application has changed servers.
Delete (at least rename if you don't want to remove it) config.php and run the application through the browser. It should initiate install automatically.
To run php and SQL I used MAMP.

I need to edit an existing yii app but got no idea how to setup in xampp.
I downloaded everything from the server and moved the folders to /opt/lampp/htdocs
But then i got no idea how to get the application running.
When i try
/localhost/yiidirectory
It shows me the file structure so the app isn't executing.
Can you give me some advise to accelerate the problem solving ?
Since windows 7 I believe you need to use:
http://127.0.0.1/yiidirectory
If that doesn't work then check your xampp setup:

The DNS resolver just hands back localhost so it never resolves it for the app/browser.
im doing a php project. all is fine doing it in xp webserver which im using iis..but now i have set up a new pc with windows 7 and iis.
problem is when i copy my php files which is in a folder(e.g portal1) from the xp wwwroot to the windows 7 wwwroot, i cant access it on the browser. it returns an internal server error.
now i assumed i didnt properly set up my web server or even php. i have done it a dozen times following tutorials and im pretty sure its all correct.
i have done a further research on the folder itself and has led me to a theory that this has to do with permissions.
when i copy directly the whole thing,it wont run, BUT if i CREATE a folder and the subfolder with all the same names as the one i copied and just take the php files and put it accordingly, it runs ok!!
now that has something to do with inherited permission i think. how do i overcome this?
i dont want to everytime take the updated work folder from my partner which is done in xp and i have to create new folder and its subfolder with all the same name on my machine and then copy the php files accordingly. thats a lot of work!!
i just want to copy the folder and put it in my wwwroot folder and run it on the browser without problems. how do i overcome this permission issue?
any ideas?
By the sounds of things, you're working on a project with someone else. Copying & pasting is the absolute worst way of sharing files when working on a project with multiple people. You should really be using versioning like git. That's pretty hard to set up and learn though. An easy solution which will work for the time being (but won't manage conflicts well) is to use Dropbox. Set up a free Dropbox account, and create a folder in that called www or whatever you want. Then install WAMP (way better than IIS), and create an alias to the www folder in your Dropbox. Do this on both machines. Now every time your partner makes a change, it will be instantly reflected on your machine, and vice versa. Easy, free, and will work while you learn a versioning tool.
I know this doesn't address your actual problem, but it should be more helpful to you.
