Install Ampache on Xampp

Install Ampache on Xampp​

  1. Download xampp
  2. Install xampp
  3. Download ampache ( squash version does not require additional htdocs config )
  4. unzip the ampache zip file, rename the resulting folder as ampache
  5. Move the folder in htdocs xampp folder
  6. Open php.ini in xampp and uncomment extension=intl
  7. Open on a browser and write http://localhost/ampache/install.php
  8. Follow the installation
  9. (IMPORTANT) Choose Create Database User ( last one option ) , choose a database username and a password
  10. Your ampache address should be: http://localhost/ampache/

Troubleshooting​

If a database username doesn't work, the database user is already present. Now you have two options:

a. Choose another username

b. Go to phpmyadmin and write in SQL: DROP USER username@localhost;

If you want to reinstall ampache simply delete ampache.cfg.php in ampache/config folder and repeat the process, you have to choose the Overwrite if Database Already Exists option and another database username if you haven't deleted the previous one.
