Xampp Installation

XAMPP allows you to easily install Apache on your own computer, regardless of your operating system (Linux, Windows, MAC or Solaris).

First, you have to download XAMPP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/7.3.30/ To download the XAMPP, you must take into account the PHP version.

For this example, we are going to be installing Xampp with PHP 7.3.30 version in order to install Scriptcase 9

 

After downloading Xampp, proceed with the standard installation. 

Configuring php.ini in Xampp to a better performance with Scriptcase

1  - Go to C:\xampp\php and open the php.ini file with your text editor.

2**-**Search for the directives below and increase their values for the values we recommend, then save the file before exiting.

  • max_execution_time = 3600
  • max_input_time = 3600
  • max_input_vars = 10000
  • memory_limit = 1024M
