Very new to PHP - Trying to get a app to work with Xampp.

Hey guys.

I am trying to get a filemanager to work with xampp locally before i put it on the intranet but i have never done this thing before and struggling.

I have:

Installed Xampp and got Apache running.
Downloaded Responsive File manager and moved it into the HTdocs folder.

Then thats it really.

How do i navigate to see if its working? tried http://127.0.0.1/filemanager etc not working. I'm guessing its something really simple that im missing here?

Thanks.

What about navigating to http://localhost/htdocs/filemanager ? - or if you delete the index.php in htdocs it should give you explorer view when in the browser.

Also are you sure Apache/PHP/MySQL are all running?

Hi there.

I deleted the index.php and can only get it working when i go on http://127.0.0.1/filemanager/dialog.php - dialog.php seem right to you?

You will need to read the documentation, usually there is an install.php or config.php where you change some settings.

Apologies - was at work and didn't actually read the link to the software. However:

Open filemanager/config/config.php and edit the settings (read config.php parameters setting paragraph). Save file.
Subscribe to Aviary.com to get a free app key (NB the free account limits the export of images to a maximum of 800x800 pixels)
NB Aviary Editor only works online; it won't work on localhost!!

Have you changed the permissions as per the website, and also changed the permissions in config.php and potentially get an app key - I haven't really look into if this is needed, as I have never used this software. It also mentions something that doesn't work on a localhost environment so be wary of that too.
