How I can create installer for website. PHP mysql [closed]

Answer 1

There is no universal standard for deploying PHP apps. Provide a tarball containing the PHP files in a directory, as well as the SQL schema, sample configuration file, and deployment documentation.

Answer 2

There is a number of tools that aim to achieve this, with different feature sets:

• http://www.apphp.com/php-easyinstaller/
• http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3072.html
• http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2543.html
• http://www.vadimg.com/2009/06/24/application-installer-wizard-class/
• http://github.com/SunboX/Php-Web-Application-Installer
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/upcase-project/
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/zzossinstaller/
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpappinstaller/
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/piap/

• http://kore-nordmann.de/blog/0097_php_web_installer.html

If you dont need a generic tool, the easiest would be to write a simple install script and ask users to run it. This can be as easy as a single file that prints a form and asks for the required details. When submitted, do the necessary install routines.

Answer 3

You can try to set check_foreign_keys = 0 ; then import the tables from the file and you need to have config.php world writable if you whant the web app to write the initial config to it.
