K-Town Carshare

A school assignment to build an imaginary carshare service. Built from Php and MySQL

Getting Started:

• Follow the XAMPP instalation guide to setup an Apache Web Server on your machine.

  • Open the XAMPP manager desktop application and in the "Manage Servers" tab, select "Apache Web Server" and click start. Repeat for "MySQL Database".
  • When the status changes to Running, open a web browser and search "localhost/dashboard". If you see a XAMPP welome page, then everything is probably working.
  • Click the "phpMyAdmin" link and create a new user with hostname: localhost, and global priveledges on all DBs.

• In your terminal, navigate to XAMPP/htdocs and clone the repository using $git clone https://github.com/qwalley/KTCS.git on UNIX systems.

• Open KTCS/src/carshare_load.php in a text editor and modify the connection information with your phpMyAdmin user info.

• Open a web browser and search localhost/KTCS/src/carshare_load.php you should see the words "finished." in the browser.

• Change the URL to localhost/KTCS/src and you should see the home for the website.
