Installation Process

Step 1

Download & Install XAMPP, preferably version 7.4.21 / PHP 7.4.21, in your local system using the following link. https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html

Now open the XAMPP Control Panel and then Start Apache and MySQL.

Step 2

Open phpMyAdmin and create a new database.

Step 3

Now copy the script upload_this.zip file downloaded from CodeCanyon into the server root folder.

E.g. C:\xampp\htdocs

Extract the upload_this.zip file in the same folder.

QwikTest CAN only be installed on your main domain or subdomain. For example, http://localhost or yourdomain.dev. It CANNOT be installed in the subdirectory path of your domain, for example, yourdomain.dev/my-app or localhost/my-app.

If your app directory is not the same as the server root directory, consider creating a virtual host.

Step 4

Now visit http://localhost/install on the browser and follow the installation instructions.

Final Step

Finally, when you are on the installation success screen, don't close the browser window directly. Instead, you must hit the Click here to exit the button to complete the installation.

Create a Virtual Host (Optional)

If you want to configure a virtual host instead of localhost in the URL, you can create a virtual host in the Apache virtual hosts configuration file.

Open the C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf file and paste the below configuration into it.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/public"
    ServerName yourdomain.dev
</VirtualHost>

Now you need to update your Windows hosts file. OpenC:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add the following line to it.

127.0.0.1 yourdomain.dev

Now, restart the Apache from the XAMPP control panel.
