Installation Guide
System Requirements:
Before initiating the installation process, ensure your system meets the following requirements.
Launch the XAMPP control panel and start the Apache and MySQL services.
Access your web browser and enter http://localhost/phpmyadmin.
Create a new database for the Digital Record Keeping System by clicking the "New"
button. Assign a name to your database (e.g., "SBdb") and set the collation to
"utf8_general_ci."
Import the database schema and initial data by locating the SQL file in your project
folder (usually with a .sql extension) and importing it into the newly created database.
4. Edit the Configuration File:
Ensure that both Apache and MySQL services are running in the XAMPP control panel.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/your_project_folder, replacing
"your_project_folder" with the actual name of the folder where you extracted the
system files.
6. Complete Installation:

Keep the system and any associated libraries up to date to address potential
vulnerabilities.
Implement secure coding practices to mitigate security risks.
Define appropriate user access levels and permissions.
Regularly backup both the database and system files to prevent data loss.
