Setting Up WebPayXT 
WebPayXT Installation Instructions 
(New Installation) 
1. Get the upgrade files.  You have probably already done this, but just in case, let’s review it. 
Download the gotomarcus.com/macademysw/webpayxt2022a.zip file, or from the sourceforge.net/projects/webpayxt2022 directory.  Unzip the file to a temporary location on your drive.  You should make the directory containing the unzipped files and directories <directory>/webpayxt2022a/<files>.  This will make it easier to copy to your server directory. 
2. You need to install WebPayXT on a Linux Host Server with PHP/MySQL available on it. 
3. Setup your local and host directories. 
Locally you want to setup a directory, say “/webpayxt2022” to which you will download the webpayxl2022a.zip file. 
You want to setup the server directory, say “/wpx12022cmp” to which you will copy the unzipped WebPay files/directories. 
The final setup directory in this case would be webpayASU1.com/wpxt2022cmp 
Every year you will setup like this, except include in the current year directory, i.e. wpxt20xxcmp
Note that the same APP is used each year, but the one you are using the given year is identified by the URL!  Cmp stands for company initials.

 
4. Copy your unzipped files to your host.  
 Copy it so that your server structure is like this: 
/webpayASU1/wpxt2022cmp/<mysitefilesanddirectories> 
You will need to have an FTP login and password on the Linux Host, and to use an FTP Client on your local machine.  A good FTP Client for free is Filezilla.  A good low priced FTP Client is Wyse-FTP. 
 
5.  You will need to create a database on the host.  Ask your host admin on how to do this. 
 
 
 
6. Open the MySQL Server administrator and create a database.  
 After this is done, upload your database tables held in the backup directory named dbwebblank or dbwebdem (depending if you want a blank or demo database) on your download to the database you have created.  There are two tables is provided in your WebPayXT download.  Open your MySQL administrator, and open the database you created.  Then IMPORT the database you want : 
For demo or blank or your last years files (which you will reset up for the new year). 
 
7.  The next step is to setup the database parameters so the system will function. 
Using your client’s browser, bring up the following page, dbConnParms.php  Enter the parameters for the database, which are available from the MySQL  Server that your host provides an interface for. 
See the following example: 
Open the file in your download. 
webpayxt2022/dbConnParms.php   
Then fill in the following screen.  You must get these Parameters from your site’s MySQL-Server administration screen! 
 
 
 
WebPayXT 2022  -  MySQLServer Database Parameters 
These parameters must be set properly for system to work! 
 //On 1and1 server.  You need your own values!! 
$servername = "db650007730.db.1and1.com"; 
$username = "dbo650007730"; 
$password = "WPPass11"; 
$dbname = "db650007730"; 
 

 
Click the SAVE button to save the Parameters! 
 
 
This completes the installation.  If there is any problem using WebPayXT2021, double check your Database Parameters. 

If this is a second, or later year installation, follow these instructions with the following changes.
First create a new blank MySQL database.   Then save your prior year MySQL database tables to the new database.  If you already have new FWT/SWT tables available, import them to the new year MySQL database.
Next, edit the dbConnParms.php   file with your new database values.
Then start your new WebPayXT APP.  Clear your last year payroll data.  Your Company and Employee data will usually stay the same.  If you did not update the FWT/SWT tax percent tables, you should do them manually from tables listed in IRS and State documents.
You are then ready to go!

Limitations:
As the IRS has complicated employee Federal Withholding calculation, it is advised you perform it manually using form W-4 to get the most accurate Federal Withholding amount.  WinPay gives you an amount calculated using Standard Federal Federal Percentge Tables, which may not apply to certain employee situations.  If this is the case, you will have to enter the correct withholding amount on the Add Employee or Edit Employee screens.
