Testing Yapeal
Prev: Yapeal Settings
So now you should have a basic setup for Yapeal that will allow you to test it.
When you created the tables in the database, it added a test API Key that we are going to use for this first run of Yapeal.
Open up CLI and browse to the folder where Yapeal have been installed and run the following code:
php -f yapeal.php
After it finishes running you should have no output except if you get some warnings or errors. If you do get any you'll need to go back through settings and the steps above to see what is wrong.
Okay lets say that it went well and you didn't get any warnings or errors, the best way to check if it actually worked would be to check if there's data in the database in the following tables:
- accountAPIKeyInfo
- accountCharacters
- accountKeyBridge
One way to check this would be with PHPMyAdmin which nearly all web hosts provide. It is a web based tool that make managing a remote or local MySQL server much easier.
You might be wondering why there is no data in any of the other tables, that's because those sections have not been activated yet. We'll be covering this later on in the Starter Guide.
So you now know how to manually test Yapeal and we will be having you doing this a couple more times later on in this guide. In the last part of this guide we'll also show you how to automated Yapeal so you don't have to keep running it manually.
Next up we're show you some classes that are available in Yapeal to make it much easier to interfacing with your programs.
