How to Run a Self-Hosted Virtual Tour from Lapentor

1. Prepare Your Environment

To run your tour, you’ll need a simple PHP server:

  • Local test (on your computer): install XAMPP, MAMP

  • Online hosting: use any shared hosting or VPS that supports PHP 7.4 or higher.


2. Upload Exported Files

After exporting your tour from Lapentor, you’ll have files like:

index.php
db.php
uploads/
vrcore/
modules/
assets/

Upload all these files and folders into your web root directory:

  • Local test: htdocs/yourtour/ (for XAMPP/MAMP).

  • Online hosting: public_html/yourtour/.


3. Configure PHP

  • Normally no extra configuration is needed.


4. Access the Virtual Tour

Open your browser and visit:

  • Local server:

    http://localhost/yourtour/
  • Your domain:

    https://yourdomain.com/yourtour/

Your tour should now load directly. 🎉


5. Important Notes

  • Keep the folder structure intact (uploads/, vrcore/, modules/).

  • Do not delete db.json or db.php (these store your tour settings).

  • If you see a 500 error → check PHP version (must be >= 7.4).

  • If you see a blank page → check file permissions (755 for folders, 644 for files).


✅ That’s it! Your virtual tour is now self-hosted and ready to share with your clients.
