PHP-Store-Website

Overview

This project is a mock bookstore website I created around 2019 to learn PHP and web development. It reflects my early coding skills and was a hands-on way to explore some concepts.

Note

This code is not indicative of my current standards or practices; it was developed when I was new to PHP. Despite the code quality, the website has a simple yet cool design.

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get the project up and running on an Ubuntu 20.04 system.

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 20.04
• MySQL Server
• Apache2
• PHP

Installation

1. Update your package list and install the necessary packages:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install mysql-server apache2 php php-mysqli

2. Configure MySQL root user with a new password:

   sudo mysql -u root -p -e "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH caching_sha2_password BY 'NEW_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD';"

3. Configure MySQL database:

   sudo mysql -u root -pNEW_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD < Store.sql

4. Upload the contents of the 'Store' folder to the web server's root directory:

   sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html && sudo cp -r Store/* /var/www/html/

5. Set the correct permissions for the web server to access the files:

   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

6. Edit the configuration file to set up your environment (e.g., database settings):

   sudo nano /var/www/html/configarray.php

7. Access the admin panel to manage the bookstore:

   http://<server-ip>/admin.php
