database access

Go back to the xampp installation folder and change to the folder “htdocs”

Unzip all files from the archive in this folder

In the “htdocs” folder, create a subfolder named “qb” and extract the files there to have a clear separation from possible other web applications

Open the file “db-def.php” in the subfolder “templates” and edit the following settings:

$db_root: in this line you have to (optionally) enter the name of the subfolder under which you unpacked the program files (if you followed our recommendation and extracted the files eg under the directory “qb”). If you extracted files directly to htdocs, you have to enter “"
Make sure you enter a backslash ("\") before and after the directory name (if you extracted the fiels to “htdocs” only a single backslash is sufficient)
$db_name: The name of the application database (default is “qb”). Make sure that this is the same name as the one you defined in section “Creating a database”
$db_user: The name of the database user generated above (if different from “qbuser”). Make sure that this is the same name as the one you defined in the section “Configuring MySQL”
This is the name of the database user, not the one of the administrator (“root”) !!!
$db_password: the password of the database user generated above (if different from the standard). Make sure that this is the same password as the one you defined in the section “Configuring MySQL”

Save and close the file.
