Once you have activated your new survey, hand the link out if your survey is open to everyone. If you run into trouble, please ask in the comments below and I will try my best to help you, or you can read the documentation which is really thorough. Now you know the basics, you just have to follow the steps above to create your self hosted survey. As you can see, LimeSurvey is quite powerful. From here, you can add options or conditions on a particular question. This can be done by clicking on the image next to the warning message. Depending on the question type, you may have to add attributes to the question. Once you filled out all the required fields, press "Save Question" to save the survey. Most of them are self explanatory, but if you don't understand what a question type is, visit the documentation page for help. If you run into problems, simple read the installation instructions. Just download the latest version, upload the files to your web server, open config.php, enter your database information, set the relevant directory permissions and then run the installer located at /limesurvey/admin/install to populate your database. Installation of LimeSurvey is pretty similar to installing any other web script.

LIMESURVEY INSTALLATION INSTALL
Today, I will be focusing on using the self-hosted version and teach you to install and create your first free online survey.īefore I get started, I would suggest that everyone to take a read of their documentation. While I have been using LimeSurvey as a self-hosted solution, they recently launched LimeService which is a hosted solution. I tried a few online survey alternatives and I found LimeSurvey the best way to create self hosted surveys and questionnaires. A while ago while I was looking for a self-hosted alternative to create an online survey, I came across a great open-source and free script called Lime Survey.
