PHP Local Debug Assistance

Job ID: 40124168

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

My teammate and I have a PHP-based site that will eventually go live, but right now we can’t even keep it running on our own computers. The strange part is that the project occasionally boots, then crashes a short time later—no explicit error screen, it just stops responding. Because the site is not yet hosted anywhere, getting a stable local setup is mission-critical before we push ahead with new features.

I’ll send you a ZIP of the entire codebase along with the current database dump. Once you have it, please spin it up on your environment—Apache / Nginx, MySQL or MariaDB, whatever stack you prefer—and pinpoint why the application collapses after that brief initial start-up window. A concise explanation of the root cause, the exact files or configuration lines you adjusted, and clear steps we can reproduce on our machines will be enough for us to keep moving forward.

Deliverables
• Running local instance on your machine (demonstrated via short screen-capture or live call)
• List of changes or settings required to achieve stability
• Written summary of the issue so we can avoid it in future deployments

If all goes well, we’d be keen to discuss ongoing collaboration as the project grows. Looking forward to your insight!
