It will also run in hosted environment as long as you have access to MYSQL. This can be installed on any computer which can run a [LAMP service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)) and [XAMPP service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAMPP). There are many variations &amp; configuration which prevent me from testing all possibilities. (I currently deploy it using a Virtual Machine configuration). -As there are many sites to assist setting up the services listed above, I won't go into that here. You will need a username and password for your MYSQL installation with the user granted all privileges on the installed database. I will give a small tutoral at the bottom for base Linux mysql install.

Make sure that you main visitor directory and the /includes directory is writable for the code to create 2 necessary files: connect.php and within the /includes... data.php. -Located within the /install directory is a blank base MYSQL database named visitor.sql. There are many different ways to install this. The base database installs all the necesary tables and an initial administrative user with the credentials: ---- username = admin ---- password = password +Use the browser to naviagate to the install directory and load the index.php page. From there, make sure to answer all the questions. When finished, the program will still need some administrative setup as there are no pre-loaded data in the database. -**Program setup** -Two files will need to be edited. -1. Find the **connect.php** file in the main directory. You will need to edit and enter the MYSQL username and password so the program can talk to the visitor MYSQL database. -2. Find the **data.php** file located in the /includes directory. This file gives basic information to the program. Edit the file with your information as directed. +Once installed, delete, remove or rename the /install folder to prevent anyone from writing over the configuration files. -Once finished, you should be able to open a browser to your installed program. - -#Ubuntu Install (Linux) -Every flavor of Linux is slightly different. Again, I won't go over how to install a LAMP server on Linux, but for those who aren't comfortable with terminal commands, I suggest installing *phpmyadmin*. During your install, keep a note of your root password for MYSQL so that you can access it. - -Going through the terminal: -\* Log into MYSQL server: mysql -u root -p (it will ask you for your mysql password) -\* Create the visitor database: create database visitor; -\* Verify that the database exists: show databases; -\* Create a new MYSQL User (ex: Bob): create user bob; -\* Grant privileges to bob and give him a password: grant all privileges on visitor.\* to 'bob'@'localhost' identified by 'bobs_password'; -\* Exit from MYSQL: \q - -Now let's install the base database. Assuming your visitor directory is @ /var/www/html/.... - -* Terminal$: sudo mysql -u bob -p visitor &lt; /var/www/html/visitor/install/visitor.sql - -Again, this will install the necessary parts into MYSQL server and create a Admin user with the credentials: admin / password +Time for some admistrative setup! </pre> </div>Nathan ShafferThu, 29 Mar 2018 21:08:55 -0000https://sourceforge.netb709b7cc51deefb3ee1de14be5e76a696405d57fhttps://sourceforge.net/p/viva-visitor/wiki/Home/<div class="markdown_content"><pre>--- v30 +++ v31 @@ -24,19 +24,24 @@ -- PHP -- (suggested install: phpmyadmin) - This program is intended to be used as a station with a barcode scanner, although the "barcode" can be manually entered.
