After uploading your PHP application files to a folder on your server, you should run the setup script before using the application. However, if the database that you defined in the project already exists on the server with all its tables and fields already defined, you will not need the setup script, and you can skip to the next topic.

To run the setup script from your web browser, use this url:
http://www.yourserver.com/path_to_appgini_generated_app/setup/setup.php

Replace 'www.yourserver.com' with your server name or IP, and 'path_to_appgini_generated_app' with the path to your application's folder. This script will look for a database with the name you specified in your AppGini project. If it can't find one, it will attempt to create it.

Next, the script will look for tables in the database with the names you specified in your project. It will attempt to create any table that doesn't already exist. You will see messages indicating whether the setup was succesful or not, and a link to your PHP application's homepage. The home page is the file 'index.html' created in the application folder.

Notice that the setup script will not create a table if it already exists in your database and will assume that the table fields are the same as what you defined in your project. If the existing table doesn't match the table you defined in AppGini, the PHP application will not function properly. To avoid this, you should either change the table name in your AppGini project and regenerate the application, or delete the existing table in the database.

If you see error messages stating that the setup script can't create the database or any of the tables, make sure the username and password you provided to AppGini have enough permissions to allow you to define the database and its tables.
