Setup

After uploading your PHP application files to a folder on your server, you can access it by pointing your browser to this URL:

https://www.yourserver.com/path_to_appgini_generated_app

Replace www.yourserver.com with your server name or IP, and path_to_appgini_generated_app with the path to your application's folder.

STEP 1 OF 3: Running the setup script

If you are running the generated application for the first time, you will see the following screen when you try to access the above url:

Click on the "Continue" button to proceed. You should see a list of required information to prepare for the next step:

After clicking "Let's go!", you will be asked to provide the database login parameters, and create the admin account.

Next, the script will look for tables in the database with the names you specified in your project. It will attempt to create any table that doesn't already exist. You will see messages indicating whether the setup was succesful or not, and a link to your PHP application's homepage. The home page is the file 'index.php' created in the application folder.

If you see error messages stating that the setup script can't create the database or any of the tables, make sure the database username and password you provided in the previous step have enough permissions to allow you to define the database and its tables.

STEP 2 OF 3: Logging to the admin control panel

When you finish step 1 above and go to the home page, you'll see this screen:

Click on the \"admin control panel\" link. You should see the following screen:

Type the admin username and password and click \"Sign In\". The default username is admin and the default password is admin. In the next step, we shall change them.

STEP 3 OF 3: Changing the admin password

After you sign in as admin, you'll see the following page:

You should click on the \"Admin Settings\" link provided in the warning message above. This opens the following page, where you should type a new password and click \"Save Changes\":

After saving the changes, you'll see this confirmation page:

If you'd like to have a look on the generated table pages, Click \"Sign Out\", and then click the \"Go to user's area\" link from the following page.
