Host Locally

For all dev geeks out there, wondering how to host this app locally? We're here to cover you.

Step 1: Install XAMPP Server

To install XAMPP on your PC, follow these steps:

  • Download XAMPP from the official website here.
  • Follow the prompts to select the components you want to install and the installation location. It is recommended to leave the default settings as they are.
  • Click "Next" to continue with the installation process and finally "Install" to begin installing.
  • Click "Finish" to exit the setup wizard.
  • To launch XAMPP, open the XAMPP Control Panel and click the "Start" button next to the Apache and MySQL modules.
  • To test if XAMPP is working correctly, open a web browser and enter the following URL: http://localhost/
  • If you see the XAMPP welcome page, it means that XAMPP has been installed successfully on your computer.

Step 2: Setup Files

  • Click on the link to download Project Files.
  • Go to C:\xampp\htdocs
  • Create a folder by 'folder1 (your choice)' name and inside it unzip the file.

Step 3: Start Server

  • Open XAMPP.
  • Start MySQL and Apache Server.

Step 4: To fill the database.

  • Goto phpMyAdmin Panel.
  • Create new Database by the name pg-finder.
  • Goto Import Panel and Upload pg-finder.sql file (can find this in Project Files in Database folder).
  • Perform import.

Done! 🎉

Your Locally Hosted PG Finder is ready. Go to http://localhost/folder1/pg-finder-mini to see the working Project.

Stop

To end the live server just stop the Apache and MySQL Server.
