Step 4: Configure Apache

To configure Apache, follow these steps:

  1. Open the httpd.conf file located in the Apache configuration directory (usually C:\Apache24\conf\).
  2. Uncomment the following lines:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule php7_module "c:/php/php7apache2_4.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
  1. Edit the DocumentRoot and Directory directives to point to the public/ directory of your Phproject installation (C:\phproject\public, for example).

Step 5: Start Apache and Test Phproject

To start Apache and test Phproject, follow these steps:

  1. Open a command prompt or terminal window.
  2. Navigate to the Apache bin/ directory (usually C:\Apache24\bin\).
  3. Run the following command: httpd.exe
  4. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost.
  5. You should see the Phproject login page. Log in with the default credentials (email: [email protected], password: admin) to test the installation.
