1Introduction

Welcome to ZexFaucet Pro, a powerful cryptocurrency faucet script built with CodeIgniter 4. This guide will walk you through the complete installation process to get your faucet website up and running.

What is ZexFaucet Pro?
ZexFaucet Pro is a modern cryptocurrency faucet script that allows users to earn small amounts of cryptocurrency by completing simple tasks like viewing ads, solving captchas, and visiting shortlinks.

2System Requirements

Before installing ZexFaucet Pro, ensure your server meets the following requirements:

PHP Version

PHP 7.4+ (Recommended: PHP 8.0+)

Database

MySQL 5.7+ or MariaDB 10.2+

Important: Make sure your hosting provider supports all the required PHP extensions and has sufficient resources for your expected traffic.

3Required PHP Extensions

ZexFaucet Pro requires the following PHP extensions to function properly:

curl, gd, intl, json, mbstring, mysqli, openssl, pdo, pdo_mysql, session, zip

Note: Most modern hosting providers have these extensions enabled by default. If any are missing, contact your hosting provider to enable them.

4Database Creation

Before running the installation, you need to create a MySQL database. Here’s how to do it using popular hosting control panels:

cPanel Database Creation

Log into your cPanel account
Find the “MySQL Databases” section
Create a new database:
- Enter database name (e.g., zexfaucet_db)
- Click “Create Database”
Create a database user:
- Go to “MySQL Users” section
- Enter username and strong password
- Click “Create User”
Add user to database:
- Go to “Add User to Database”
- Select the user and database
- Grant “ALL PRIVILEGES”
- Click “Make Changes”

Other Control Panels

For other hosting control panels (Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc.), the process is similar:

Look for “Database” or “MySQL” section
Create a new MySQL database
Create a database user with full privileges
Note down the database name, username, and password

Important: Write down your database credentials (database name, username, password) as you’ll need them for the installation process.

5Installation Steps

Step 1: Download and Upload

Download the ZexFaucet Pro script and upload all files to your web server’s public directory (usually public_html or www) and extract the uploaded file.

Step 2: Configuration

Update the database configuration in app/Config/Script.php with your actual database credentials:

public static $hostname = ‘localhost’;           // Usually ‘localhost’ – keep as is
public static $username = ‘your_db_username’;    // ← CHANGE THIS to your database username
public static $password = ‘your_db_password’;    // ← CHANGE THIS to your database password  
public static $database = ‘your_db_name’;        // ← CHANGE THIS to your database name
            

Important: Replace the placeholder values with the actual database credentials you created in Step 4. The hostname is usually ‘localhost’ and can stay as is.

Example: If your database name is zexfaucet_db, username is zex_user, and password is MySecurePass123, your configuration should look like:

File: app/Config/Script.php

public static $hostname = 'localhost';

public static $username = 'zex_user';

public static $password = 'MySecurePass123';

public static $database = 'zexfaucet_db';
