PHP Project Launch Fix

I will share a complete PHP code-base that stubbornly refuses to start on either of my local machines. Your first task is to spin it up in your own environment—whether you prefer XAMPP, MAMP, WAMP, Docker, or a custom LAMP stack—and confirm that it actually runs.

If it does load, please dig in and identify why it fails on our side. I need a clear, step-by-step rundown of:
• the exact setup you used (OS, PHP version, extensions, database engine)
• any configuration tweaks or missing dependencies you discovered
• code or environment fixes you applied (with file paths if you touch the code)
• a concise set-up guide so we can reproduce your success on our machines

Once the application boots without errors locally, we can explore ongoing collaboration for new features and maintenance. I am ready to send the zipped project as soon as you confirm availability.
