Step 9: There will be some permission that may fail. So you need to Navigate to the testlink package and open the ‘config.inc.php’ file. Update the following parameters:-

$tlCfg->log_path = ‘D:/xampp/htdocs/testlink-1.9.20/logs/’;

$grepositoryPath = ‘D:/xampp/htdocs/testlink-1.9.20/uploadarea/’;

Step 10: Again click on the “Continue” button. You will be navigated to the page where the Database name, Database admin login, Database admin password, TestLink DB login, and TestLink DB password will be required to fill.
