Dolibarr installation on existing Apache/Mysql

Dear Community,

first of all, I like Dolibarr very much! Thank you for making this possible as open source and free of charge.

I experimented around a little bit with the standalone installation of Dolibarr for Windows
and I would like to install it on a local webserver which I am using at home.

On that webserver I already have XAMPP installed and now I don’t know how to implement Dolibarr easily and I cannot find any “Howto” for that.
It is a Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit OS on which I have some of my websites as a mirror/sandbox environment running as well.

My main question is, how do I integrate Dolibarr with all connections (mysql, apache) so I can run it additionally to my other websites/webservices which are already in XAMPP.

Is it a possibility to copy the Dolibarr folder structure to my XAMPP htdocs folder and then just point to it?
I tried that and then Dolibarr wants to start its own installation routine.
I don’t know if this is correct…because I think it will try to install his own mysql version instead of using the one in XAMPP.

Personally I would like to know how to manually move a fresh (!!!) working Dolibarr installation into my XAMPP.

Did anyone do this before? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Frag.

Assuming your XAMP setup resamples a Linux/Unix LAMP setup in terms of folder structure, you should try to download the .tgz or .zip version of Dolibarr to your Webserver root folder.

Unpack it there.

And then start Dolibarr from your Webbrowser.

I mean this download here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dolibarr/files/Dolibarr%20ERP-CRM/3.8.2/

NOT the dedicated Windows installer!

Hello Casati,

thank you very much for your input and sorry for replying so late.
I tried out setting it up manually but I encountered too many problems because I don’t know the exact
modifications that have to be made to folder structure and .cfg files for the database and also the apache service… httpd.conf etc…

So I use the “all in one” installation now on a different server until I have found a good Tutorial how to do it.

I just came by again to say thanks anyway!!

Cheers,
Fragmence

hello fragmence,
i installed the zip on my onlie-webserver of my homepage-provider, i did unzip, copy by ftp to the server, bevore starting dolibarr-setup i generated a mysql-database to get user and password (it’s a complete different server but in doli-setup you are asked for that all (and it will be tested, so you can go back if you did it wrong) and after this my installation works fine.

i think (and i will try it next days) you can copy a ready installation to any apache2/php/sql-db system

but i search the place where the db-accsess is stored (user and password and hostname), if you know that please post

thanks
