🚀 Setup Steps (XAMPP on Windows)

1. Install XAMPP

Download from: https://www.apachefriends.org Install and open XAMPP Control Panel. Start Apache and MySQL.

2. Copy files

Extract this ZIP into:

C:\xampp\htdocs\awesomesoftware\

3. Create database

1. Open http://localhost/phpmyadmin
2. Click New → name it awesomesoftware_db → Create
3. Click the database → SQL tab
4. Open database.sql, copy ALL content, paste, click Go

4. Edit config.php

Open includes/config.php and set:

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'awesomesoftware_db');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', '');  // blank for XAMPP default
define('SITE_URL', 'http://localhost/awesomesoftware');

5. Open the site

• Homepage: http://localhost/awesomesoftware/index.php
• Careers: http://localhost/awesomesoftware/careers/index.php
• Admin: http://localhost/awesomesoftware/admin/admin.php
  • Password: awesome2026 (change in admin.php line 5)

📧 Email Setup (for real emails to awesomesoftware@gmail.com)

XAMPP's PHP mail() won't work by default. To enable:

Option A — Gmail SMTP (recommended)

1. Enable 2FA on your Gmail account
2. Go to: myaccount.google.com → Security → App Passwords
3. Generate an App Password for "Mail"
4. Edit includes/mailer.php and replace the mail() function with PHPMailer

Option B — Use InfinityFree hosting

InfinityFree supports PHP mail() with its built-in relay. Just upload files and it works out of the box.

2. Create a hosting account → note your MySQL host, DB name, username, password
3. Upload all files via File Manager or FTP (use FileZilla)
4. Create DB in InfinityFree panel → import database.sql
5. Edit includes/config.php with InfinityFree DB credentials
6. Change SITE_URL to your free subdomain, e.g.: define('SITE_URL', 'http://awesomesoftware.epizy.com');
