YIKAI PANEL · BUILT FOR LOCAL DEVELOPMENT

Less setup.
More building.

Made for people who would rather not hand-configure Nginx and php.ini. Projects, domains and databases in a single panel — no command line, no Docker, no WSL.

From your first local website to a growing collection of projects. Start the environment, open the admin page and manage databases with fewer steps.

Everyday tools,
right where you need them.

Designed around the everyday work of running websites locally.

From new project to live site

Creating a project also creates its folder, database and server config. Start from blank PHP, the latest YikaiCMS or the latest WordPress, then just open the website.

Each project on its own

Its own domain, PHP version, database, HTTPS and rewrite rules. New projects use name.localhost, which opens in the browser without touching hosts.

Common ports when you need them

Use 80, 443 or MySQL 3306 and pin them. If a port is taken, the panel names the program using it instead of silently switching.

Scan a folder to import

Drop existing site folders into wwwroot and register them in one pass. Folders with a dot in the name keep it as their domain.

Database tools included

MySQL 8.0 / 5.7 and SQLite. A simple browser page with Adminer, plus one click to open HeidiSQL when you need a desktop client.

Diagnose it yourself

Port check lists who holds every port (process name + PID). Startup failures name the occupier and attach the service log.

PHPSTUDY → YIKAI PANEL

Bring your
existing sites along.

Scan PHPStudy projects and select one or all. Website files and their complete databases are copied into Yikai, while the original environment stays untouched.

Source configuration scanning helps identify databases. YikaiCMS and WordPress connections can be rewritten automatically; review other projects manually.

Yikai Panel

Start imported projects when ready

A few steps to get started.

Installs to D:\yikai by default, keeping websites and runtime software in separate folders.

Install and open

Run the installer (D:\yikai by default). No administrator rights required.

Add a project

Create one, connect an existing folder, or import many at once with “Scan a folder”.

Start building

Start the project and open its website or admin page. .localhost domains need no hosts sync; for .yikai domains keep “Sync hosts” checked.

Good to know

Do I need administrator rights?

No. New projects use .localhost domains, which need no hosts entry. The panel asks for elevation only when syncing hosts for .yikai-style domains or adding firewall rules, and cancelling is harmless. The VC++ runtime ships with the package.

Do I have to uninstall PHPStudy first?

No. Copy import keeps the original websites and databases. After importing, review the project configuration to avoid port or domain conflicts.

Which PHP and database versions are supported?

PHP 8.0 / 8.2 / 8.5 (8.2 by default), MySQL 8.0 / 5.7 and SQLite. The minimal package ships PHP 8.5 only; other versions can be added to the soft folder later.

Is an internet connection required?

The full package works offline. The minimal package fetches the latest YikaiCMS template once when you create a project, then caches it.

How do I manage databases?

Two entries in the panel: “Database manager (web)” opens a simple browser page (backup, restore, browse, SQL, with Adminer), and “Database client (HeidiSQL)” opens a desktop client for heavier work.

Where do websites and databases live?

Inside the install folder: websites in wwwroot\<domain>, databases in data, backups in backups. Uninstalling keeps them, so projects survive a reinstall.
