Database Setup

Follow these steps to set up the SaasCart database using phpMyAdmin. You can choose to import dummy data for sample content or start with a clean, empty database.

​
Access phpMyAdmin

  1. Open phpMyAdmin: Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser.
  2. Log In: Use root as the username and leave the password blank if not set. Click Go to log in.

​
Create a New Database

  1. Create Database: In phpMyAdmin, go to the Databases tab.
  2. Name Your Database: Enter saascart as the name or anything you wish.
  3. Confirm Creation: Click Create. The database saascart will now be listed on the left sidebar.

​
Import the Database File

With the saascart database created, you can now import the data.
  1. Go to Import: Click on the saascart database in the sidebar, then select the Import tab.
  2. Choose the Database File:
    • Dummy Data: To import sample data, select the saascart_dummy_data.sql file.
    • No Data: For a clean setup, select saascart_no_data.sql.
  3. Start Import: Click Go to begin the import. phpMyAdmin will add either the dummy data or only the structure, depending on your selection.
