Calisthenics Admin Setup Guide

This guide will walk you through setting up the Calisthenics Admin system on your local machine using XAMPP.

---

Prerequisites

• XAMPP: Installed and running on your machine.
• Project Files: The Calisthenics Admin project files, including the conn.php file and the database SQL file.

---

Step 1: Configure conn.php

1. Locate the conn.php file in your project (usually in the root or config folder).

2. Open the file in a text editor and update the database connection settings:

   <?php
   // Database connection settings
   $servername = "localhost";  // Server name (usually 'localhost' if using XAMPP)
   $username = "root";         // Default username for XAMPP
   $password = "";             // Default password for XAMPP (empty)
   $dbname = "calisthenics_db"; // Name of your database
   
   // Create connection
   $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
   
   // Check connection
   if ($conn->connect_error) {
       die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
   }
   echo "Connected successfully";
   ?>

3. Save the conn.php file after making changes.

Step 2: Import the Database

1. Start XAMPP:

   • Open the XAMPP Control Panel.
   • Start the Apache and MySQL services.

2. Access phpMyAdmin:

   • Open your browser and go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin.

3. Create a New Database:

   • In phpMyAdmin, click "New" in the left sidebar.
   • Enter a name for your database (e.g., calisthenics_db) and click "Create".

4. Import the Database File:

   • Select the newly created database from the left sidebar.
   • Click the "Import" tab at the top.
   • Click "Choose File" and select the SQL file from the database folder of your project.
   • Click "Go" to import the database.

---

Step 3: Start the Application

1. Place the Project in the XAMPP Directory:

   • Move your project folder (e.g., calisthenics_admin) to the htdocs directory inside the XAMPP installation folder (usually C:\xampp\htdocs).

2. Access the Application:

   • Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost/calisthenics_admin (replace calisthenics_admin with the name of your project folder).

3. Verify the Connection:

   • If everything is set up correctly, you should see "Connected successfully" or a similar message.

---

Step 4: Troubleshooting

• Connection Issues: Double-check the conn.php file for typos or incorrect credentials.
• Database Import Issues: Ensure the SQL file is not corrupted and matches the expected structure.
• XAMPP Issues: Check the XAMPP Control Panel for error messages and ensure no other services are using the same ports (e.g., port 80 for Apache, port 3306 for MySQL).

---

Step 5: Admin Access

• Login to the Admin Panel: Navigate to the login page (e.g., http://localhost/calisthenics_admin/admin/login.php).
• Use Default Credentials: email:admin@admin.com password:password.
