House guide

From files on your computer to byora.aptsoft.co.in

Written as if you have never deployed a site. Read once, then keep this page bookmarked.

What you already bought

• Company domain: aptsoft.co.in on GoDaddy
• Product address: byora.aptsoft.co.in
• GoDaddy web hosting (cPanel)

1. Make the subdomain

1. Sign in at godaddy.com.
2. My Products → DNS for aptsoft.co.in.
3. Add an A record. Host: byora. Points to the IP shown in cPanel → Shared IP Address.
4. Wait 5–60 minutes.

2. Create the folder on the server

1. GoDaddy → Hosting → cPanel → File Manager.
2. Open public_html. If cPanel made a folder for the subdomain, open that instead.
3. Upload this whole Byora folder (the one that contains index.php, demo/, app/, dev/, admin/, assets/, shared/, site/, data/).
4. Extract if you uploaded a zip. You should see index.php sitting in that folder.

3. PHP version

1. cPanel → Select PHP Version → pick 8.1 or newer.
2. Turn on extensions: pdo_sqlite, mbstring, openssl.

4. Permissions

Right-click the data/ folder → Permissions → 0755 (or 0775). Do not set the whole site to 0777.

5. SSL (the padlock)

cPanel → SSL/TLS Status → Run AutoSSL for byora.aptsoft.co.in. Always open the https address.

6. Email

1. GoDaddy Email → create byora@aptsoft.co.in and hello@aptsoft.co.in.
2. Email Authentication → turn on SPF, DKIM, DMARC. This stops Gmail from marking invoices as spam.

7. Payments

1. Open a Razorpay account with AptSoft GSTIN and bank.
2. Enable UPI, cards, netbanking, subscriptions.
3. Until keys are live, checkout writes a sandbox payment so you can rehearse the pitch.

8. GoDaddy chatbot

Websites + Marketing → Chatbot. Train it on the QnA page. Paste the embed URL in AptSoft desk → Festival.

9. Copy from the company server to your computer

1. On the live server: cPanel File Manager → select the Byora folder → Compress → download the zip.
2. Paste the whole folder into htdocs so index.php sits inside it (Windows: C:\xampp\htdocs\byora).
3. Start Apache. Open http://localhost/byora/ in Chrome. You should see the cream B and the word yora — a finished website, not a file list.
4. Click Demo. Post a bill. Print it. That is the same site as the live one.

If a page is blank: PHP 8.1+ and the data/ folder must be writable. If CSS is missing, you opened a file path instead of the http address.

The four doors

• Demo — public walkthrough. Fictional house. Watermarked.
• App — a paying house’s live books. Needs sign-in and a plan or trial.
• Studio (/dev) — AptSoft engineering. Isolated. Never touches customer books.
• Desk (/admin) — ops: users, storage, festivals, gifts. A different folder from Studio.

First person to register on a fresh install becomes admin. Sign in, then open Desk.
