I’ve just been assigned to start working with the code from a large, legacy PHP app. A copy is running on the production servers, and I’ve pulled a copy from the code repositories onto my local machine.
I installed XAMPP in hopes of running the app locally during development, but I’m stuck. How do I (1) get XAMPP to point to my development folder and (2) actually get the PHP app up and running locally (including database tables)?
1) Move your development folder into the htdocs folder where ever you installed XAMPP to ie: C:\xampp\htdocs\my_legacy_php_app\ and then browse to http://localhost/my_legacy_php_app/ to see it in action.
2) You would need to migrate the database to your test environment, most people find using phpMyAdmin pretty easy, so, navigate to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin and import the database.
