How to manual install E!A process

[HM]

I spent over 6+ hours trying to install without any luck, So ended it up installing it manually. 

Hopefully this helps someone who is having issue installing it. 

modify configuration.php

// General Settings

public static $base_url    = 'http://www.websiteaddress_or_subdirectory/'; //make sure your base_url ends with forward slash

// Database Settings

public static $db_host     = 'localhost';

public static $db_name     = 'dbname';

public static $db_username = 'dbuser';

public static $db_password = 'dbpassword!';

    

create test.php file and upload it to webserver, default password is "password123" you will be able to change password from backend 

<?php

function generate_salt() {

$max_length = 100;

$salt = hash('sha256', (uniqid(rand(), true)));

return substr($salt, 0, $max_length);

}

function hash_password($salt, $password) {

$half = (int)(strlen($salt) / 2);

$hash = hash('sha256', substr($salt, 0, $half ) . $password . substr($salt, $half));

for ($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++) {

$hash = hash('sha256', $hash);

} 

return $hash; 

}

 $salt_test = generate_salt();

echo "Salt";

echo "<br>"; 

echo $salt_test;

echo "<br><br>";

 $hash_test = hash_password($salt_test, "password123"); 

echo "Password";

echo "<br>";

echo $hash_test;

?>

login to phpmyadmin 

import /assets/structure.sql to database

go to ea_users table.

Add user information : firstname, lastname, email, phone, and set id_roles = 1 

click save or go

make a note of user id # you just created

go to ea_user_settings  table.

Add user login information: 

select user id #

enter username

password: copy password hash from test.php 

salt: copy salt hash from test.php

click save or go.

go to ea_settings 

Create these three records,  do not include quotation mark. 

name = "company_name"

value = your_company_name

name = "company_email"

value = company_email_address

name = "company_link"

value = company_website

browse to backend section http://www.websiteaddress_or_subdirectory/backend

login with username name and password (default password in test.php: password123)

go to Users tab and change default password

As a complete newb, this post helped me so much.

The password hash / salt business did the trick.

Thanks for including the code to do that, because I would not be able to figure that out by myself.

Thanks for the solution, though it didn't work for me ( I have to say that I'm a "Visual Designer" and fairly new to php en databases.
I got the following Fatal Error while finishing the step by step configuration:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '$name setting does not exist in database : company_name' in /mnt/webw/b0/16/54377316/htdocs/velospa/velospa_agenda/application/models/settings_model.php:28 Stack trace: #0 /mnt/webw/b0/16/54377316/htdocs/velospa/velospa_agenda/application/controllers/user.php(31): Settings_Model->get_setting('company_name') #1 [internal function]: User->login() #2 /mnt/webw/b0/16/54377316/htdocs/velospa/velospa_agenda/system/core/CodeIgniter.php(359): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #3 /mnt/webw/b0/16/54377316/htdocs/velospa/velospa_agenda/index.php(203): require_once('/mnt/webw/b0/16...') #4 {main} thrown in /mnt/webw/b0/16/54377316/htdocs/velospa/velospa_agenda/application/models/settings_model.php on line 28

Any thoughts?
Best regards,

Download v1.2 of Easy!Appointments, create a database and import the following files

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alextselegidis/easyappointments/master/rsc/db/structure.sql
  
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alextselegidis/easyappointments/master/rsc/db/sample-data.sql
  

Then login to backend with the user "administrator" and password "administrator".

what do u exactly mean by login to "backend" ?. Which backend?. Is it one of the files in the source folder? Secondly  what does this mean "Open your browser on the Easy!Appointments URL" ? What i have understood is to open the subdirectory or url which is specified in the config file. Have I understood right?

Thanks

[Alex Tselegidis]

Hi there, 

correct the Easy!Appointments URL is actually the base URL that points to the directory of your E!A installation (where the root index.php and config.php are located). 

Backend is the administration section of the app. You can access it by heading to the base URL of your installation with a trailing (index.php/backend) e.g. http://base-url/index.php/backend. 

Regards, 

Alex
