TPC-management-app

Training and Placement Cell for college

Steps to setup the TPC web app(locally):

• Download and setup the latest stable release of XAMPP/LAMPP/MAMPP/WAMPP from here depending on your OS.
• Clone the repository into the htdocs folder of your server.
• Create the connectVars.php file in the main directory. This file contains connection constants for the SQL database.

<?php
  define('DB_HOST', '');
  define('DB_USER', '');
  define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
  define('DB_NAME', '');
?>

• Create the appVars.php file in the main directory. This file contains application constants.

<?php
  // Define Captcha font
  define('CAPTCHA_FONT', 'Courier New Bold.ttf');
?>

• Setup your database by either importing the TPC_DB.sql file using phpMyAdmin or manually copy and paste the code in the SQL terminal.

Setup the connection variables(in connectVars.php):

• DB_HOST - Url of the SQL database server
• DB_USER - Username
• DB_PASSWORD - Password
• DB_NAME - Name of the database

Setup the app variables(in appVars.php):

• Download the font file(Courier New Bold.ttf) or any other font for captcha generation into the util directory.
• CAPTCHA_FONT - Name of the font file for captcha

Other libraries / Resources required:

• Create a directory "lib" in the main directory and download the tcpdf library in it.

Optional:

• If your app throws error during uploading photos/resumes by student or company, try creating images and resume directory manually and then create two subdirectories recruiters and students inside the images directory.

Steps to start the web app:

• Start your XAMPP server.
• Go to http://localhost/TPC-management-app/ on your browser to open the app.
