Setup

This guide explains how to run Torma Security Solutions Ltd. locally with the same defaults expected by the frontend and backend code.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4+ (PHP 8.x recommended)
• MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.2+
• A static file server for Web/ (Apache, Nginx, or a local dev server)

1) Configure the Database

Create the database and import the schema:

mysql -u root -p < API/database/torma.sql

Note

The import script creates tables, foreign keys, and stored procedures used by the API models. Do not skip it.

2) Configure API Secrets and Connection

Edit API/config/config.php:

• DB_HOST
• DB_NAME
• DB_USER
• DB_PASS
• JWT_SECRET
• JWT_EXPIRATION
• DEBUG_MODE

Warning

Change JWT_SECRET and disable debug mode before deploying to production.

3) Start the Backend API

From the API/ directory:

php -S localhost:8000

The health endpoint is available at:

GET http://localhost:8000/

4) Serve the Frontend

Serve files from Web/ with any static server, then open index.html.

The frontend scripts use http://localhost:8000 as the API base URL, so keep the API server running on that host/port unless you also update frontend API URLs.

5) Verify the Flow

Run this basic smoke test:

1. Register on register.html
2. Log in on login.html
3. Browse products on products.html
4. Add products to cart and place an order via order.html
5. Create a reservation on contact.html

For full test coverage, follow testing.
