Software Architecture Group 7's Brokerage Service

Setup

This desktop application runs locally, so you will need to install WAMP (Windows), MAMP (Mac OSx), or LAMP (Linux). Once you have installed your desired program, you will need to place the (3) folders -- Model, View, Controller -- into your root server location.

  • Example using WAMP: This PC > SSD (C:) > wamp64 > www > [Place 3 folders here]

  • Example using MAMP: Macintosh HD > Applications > MAMP > htdocs > [Place 3 folders here]

Test if your local server is running

To make sure your local server is running, open a browser and type 'localhost' (without the quotes). If you get a message "It Works!", then your local server is running.

Test if SQL is working

Now you should test is SQL working. Do so by entering 'localhost/testmysql.php' (again, without the quotes). It should return a message saying "Connection OK"
