Mobile_system

Project mobile_system is made with Laravel Framework. It contains information about phones, brands, models and years of release.

Installation

To deploy this project you need to have XAMPP and a couple more steps.

First, the httpd-vhosts .conf file should be edited. The path to this file is ...\xampp\apache\conf\extra. Its recomended to use the full directory path.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "...\xampp\htdocs\nameOfFolder"
    ServerName serverName.com
    <Directory "...\xampp\htdocs\nameOfFolder">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride all
        Order Deny,Allow
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

After that, we need to update the hosts file in directory ...\Windows\System32\drivers\etc (this is for Windows). Its important to run your text redactor as an admin.

127.0.0.1 serverName.com

The last step is creating a new database in phpMyAdmin. The URL to access phpMyAdmin is http://localhost/phpmyadmin.
