PHPRunner Tips and Tricks

July 31st, 2024 - added a few of upgrade notes at the end

I'll try to quickly address a few most common questions people ask here and directly to support. Just wanted to remind that the only way to get issues fixed is to contact support directly.

These points apply to both PHPRunner and ASPRunner.NET 11.

1. Missing View/Edit plugins.

If you import a project from version 10.x that uses View or Edit plugins you will be promted to point to the location of those plugins. I'm attaching a screenshot that explains where those plugins are typically located. In PHPRunner you need to point it to .php file, in ASPRunner.NET you need to point it to .cs file.

Default location of plugins in version 10.x:
PHPRunner:
C:\Program Files\PHPRunner10.91\viewPlugins
C:\Program Files\PHPRunner10.91\editPlugins

ASPRunner.NET:
C:\Program Files\ASPRunner.NET10.91\viewPlugins
C:\Program Files\ASPRunner.NET10.91\editPlugins

In version 11 plugins are stored in the database, this is why you need to import those. You only need to do this once.

2. PHPRunner/ASPRunner.NET database location.

In version 11 projects are stored in the database as opposed to files. Version 11 installs Postgre database server and stores project data there. A bit later will add an option to store projects in any database of your choice. How can you connect to the default project storage database.

Database type: Postgre
Server: localhost
Port: 14297
Username: phprunner
Password: phprunner
Database: phprunner

See the screenshot.

Note: this database server only runs when PHPRunner or ASPRunner.NET are running.

3. Multi-developer edition

This is something that we will start selling in mid-June. It will come bundled with three developer licenses and there will be an upgrade path from a single-developer edition.

You can see a few ideas of how multi-developer edition will work in this video:

4. System requirements.

Version 11 requires Windows 10 or better. It will also run on recent versions of Windows Server.

5. FTP upload

We are still working on this part. If for any reason the built-in FTP upload doesn't work, for now you can use third-party FTP software like FileZilla. You need to upload all files from the Output folder and you can find output folder location on 'Output directory' screen in the software.

6. Installation folder

Right there is no possibility to choose the installation folder. We will add this option a bit later.

PHPRunner by defaults installs into C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\PHPRunner11 folder, ASPRunner.NET into C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\ASPRunnerNet11 folder.

Default output folder is C:\runnerapps\project...

7. Upgrade notes - DAL fucntions

If your project uses DAL functions in events - you need to upgrade that code to use Database API instead. DAL functions were marked as deprecated a while ago and in version 11 we are finally pulling a plug. Use links below to find more info about Database API.

8. Upgrade notes - business templates

If your project uses business templates like Calendar, DocManager, ToDo List and similar - make sure that those templates were upgraded to th latest version. Older versions of templates may not work in version 11.

8. Adding external files

External files can be added to your project via Style Editor -> Custom Files. You can import individual files or whole folders.

This is something that we will start selling in mid-June. It will come bundled with three developer licenses and there will be an upgrade path from a single-developer edition.

Can you please elaborate more? Those features announced for 11th version with groups, code locking, versions and comments will also be available on single - developer edition?
Price?

Hello,

It would be nice if you could fix the SSL connection for MySQL databases. Currently, I get this error when trying to connect using SSL. It works fine on other Mysql without SSL.
