INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Requirements:

  1. Web & Database Server and settings

    ACCESS School System (or simply ACCESS) runs on a web server and can be made accessible on the network. ACCESS is proven to work with IIS and Apache.

    You can download and install a copy of WAMPserver from WampServer.com.

    A little note on linux installations:
    Make sure to set MySQL NOT to USE case sensitive collations. utf8_general_ci preferred until all naming are revised to use both or either cases. Database names and tables should also be set to recognize both cases as one and the same.
  2. IonCube Loaders

    IonCube loaders are required to run the demo version of ACCESS. Download your appropriate loader from http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

  3. ACCESS files

    Extract and place the files on your webroot folder. Usually, it is C:/wamp/www/ for WAMPServer. Adjust to your specific configuration. Make sure that the folder is readable by your web server. You may have to add IUSR user account to the folder permission if you're using IIS.

    Edit /access/main/incs/settings.php and modify the variables depending on your configurations, folder locations, and files.

  4. Database settings
      Create the following databases:
    • - accessdemo : main database (required)
    • - access_messaging : for internal messaging (optional, required for messaging)
    • - accessgradesxls : for class records (optional, required for XLS-grade module)
    • - accesslogs : for logs (optional, required for activity logs, debug, errors)
    • - irslorc : for internet facility monitoring (optional, required for Resource/Facility Reservation)
    • - otrdb : Transcript of Records (optional, required for Transcript)

    • - trashbin : for temporary tables (required)

    Download, extract and import http://access.ph/demo/struct201106.sql.7z into your accessdemo database.

    For sample data, download, extract and import http://access.ph/demo/demo201106.sql.7z into your accessdemo(or as you have defined) database.

    You can modify /main/incs/dbconfig.php to customize your database settings

    You may add user permission to these databases if needed or just use a global user account (eg: root)

  5. Login

    If all things go well, you should be able to see the frontpage of the system. Click 'ACCESS' from the menu and it will open a new window in a popup form. You have to enable popup to use the widescreen display. You may also go directly to /access/main/ for the login page.

    Browse http://localhost/access/demo/resetDemoAccount.php for the username and password. Make sure you have browsed http://localhost/access/ successfully before doing the resetDemoAccount page. Running this will automatically update the account and reset the password. The account is made a super-administrator of the system with all features and modules enabled.

  6. What would you see inside the demo?

    All identities of students have been anonimized from the real data. No specific record shall be attributed to be true.

    It keeps two-semester worth of data from about 3,000 students. Some reports will be made available to represent the output. Some may have been disabled due to specific concerns.

    To view appropriate(computed) assessment and ledgers of students, click on Accounting. On the menu page, scroll all the way down and click the image next to Re-Run General Assessment. Once this is done, you can now view the assessment and ledgers of each student.

    Take a tour around by creating specific users for specific roles. Instructors as users have to be registered through the Teacher Registration module and whose system account can me modified at the User Management Module.

  7. What could be an error?

    Since the data are pulled out from a real implementation and while all are modified from its real representation, authenticity of reports and correctness of output may be questionable. Should you wish to start from scartch to test its ease of implementation, you can browse this URL (revise root web as needed) and execute the generated script on your database.

    http://localhost/access/demo/resetData.php

    Common errors reported may be one or combination of the following. Working around each of them is further mentioned.

    • Cannot install loaders available from /access/ioncube - Download and install appropriate loaders from ioncube.com
    • Importing one of the demo0?.sql files produces error. - Try importing to mysql through the command prompt.
    • Images does not appear. - Check your paths at /main/incs/settings.php.
    • Cannot login. - Run access/demo/resetDemoAccount.php .
    • Some functions gives error or files are not found - such case may either be intentionally excluded from the copy (e.g.: imports, quiz, some CRUD functions, data maintenance and a few more) or disabled from the copy. Rest assured, all issues will be handled with when implemented.
  8. Anything else, just email us at access@pcrxcomputing.com.

    Or, should you require an on-site installation and/or for presentation and demonstration, take care of the transportation (and accommodation) plus P2,500. A discount of P3,000 shall be applied on the training fee when you're ready to implement ACCESS in your school.
