Debug PHP App in XAMPP
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a fresh pair of eyes on a PHP application that refuses to start on our local machines. When we launch it through XAMPP (running PHP 7.x) nothing happens—no visible error message, no logs, just a blank response. We already followed the setup instructions that ship with the project, so environment mis-configuration seems unlikely.
Here’s what I’d like you to do:
• Spin the attached archive up in your own XAMPP stack (PHP 7.x).
• Reproduce—or, ideally, eliminate—the “silent failure” we are seeing.
• Trace the root cause, patch the code, and document every change.
• Hand back a working copy plus a concise step-by-step rundown so we can replicate the fix on our end.
Feel free to add helpful logging, tighten configuration files, or refactor obviously faulty snippets as long as functionality stays intact. Once you confirm the app loads and its basic routes execute, send the updated source and your troubleshooting notes. Rapid turnaround is appreciated because the project is blocking other tasks.
