Setup Purchased Website Code

I bought a ready-made PHP website script but all I see is a blank white page—no errors, no logs, nothing. I’d like you to get it running first on my Windows laptop (localhost) and then publish that same working copy to my cPanel hosting. No design tweaks or feature changes; just make the existing code execute properly.

Here’s the flow I have in mind:

• Local setup: install and configure whatever stack you prefer (XAMPP, WAMP, Laragon, etc.), adjust any required PHP extensions, create the database if the script needs one, and prove the site loads normally on my machine.
• Live deployment: move the functioning build to my cPanel account, set up databases, permissions, and SSL as needed, and confirm the front end and admin area are accessible online.
• Handoff: give me a brief, plain-English summary of the steps you took so I can repeat them later if I switch computers or hosts.

Because I’m not a developer, clear communication is vital. In your bid, please begin by telling me the very first thing you would check before touching any code; that will show me you understand why a blank PHP page appears.

Looking forward to finally seeing this script in action.
