Sure, here is a step-by-step tutorial for installing Piler on Windows 11:
Prerequisites
Before we start installing Piler, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- A Windows 11 machine
- A web server (Apache or NGINX)
- PHP 5.3 or later
- MySQL or any other supported database
Steps to install Piler
- Download the latest Piler package from the official website at https://www.mailpiler.org/download/piler-latest/
- Extract the package to your web server root directory (e.g.
C:\xampp\htdocs\if you are using XAMPP). - Rename the
config.sample.phpfile in theconfigdirectory toconfig.php. - Edit the
config.phpfile and configure the database settings as follows:
$config['dbtype'] = 'mysql';
$config['dbhost'] = 'localhost';
$config['dbname'] = 'piler';
$config['dbuser'] = 'root';
$config['dbpass'] = 'password';
Replace the database name, username, and password with your own.
- Create a new database in your MySQL server with the same name you configured in step 4.
- Import the
installer/piler.sqlfile into the newly created database. - Set the appropriate file and folder permissions for the
datadirectory of Piler (e.g.chmod 777 data). - Open your browser and navigate to
http://localhost/piler/install/(assuming your web server is running onlocalhost). - Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
- After the installation is complete, navigate to
http://localhost/piler/to access the Piler web interface.
