Very much useful info.
Actually I was trying to find it here and there with no success and I am happy that I got it right here itself.
Thank you

Thank you mate!

very nice post.. this will help lots of people dreaming to have their own faucet

Thank you mate and the reason i moved the topic here is that, this is the only place where users actually view threads.
You know... Free bitcoins everyone want.

Cheers.

And it is now moved from "off topic" to "games and rounds"? It doesn't seem to be a very appropriate place in my opinion either.

Indeed, I agree with b!z. This looks like a very useful tutorial, which is why I'm so confused. What's a useful post like this doing here in the Off-Topic section of the forum? It seems so out of place to me. (Probably because it is.) Seriously though, kudos to you for contributing something worthwhile and pertinent to BCT. Cheers!

No problem Mate! 
I would love to create more posts like this.

Excellent post. I'm sure it will help many people who wish to start their own bitcoin faucet.

Thank you for sharing!

You have to edit these settings :
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "test_faucet";
$dbpass = "test_pass";
$dbname = "test_faucet";

TO

$dbhost = "the host link which you copied earlier (Ex: mysql.000webhost.com)";

Select the faucet.zip we just saved on the desktop and upload it by clicking on a green tick on the left side.

Step 8

Copy the Key and go back to your faucet's admin page.
Enter your API key in the Admin Page.

Step 11

Now time to get a Captcha Service, select reCaptcha and then click "get your keys here".
A new page will open, enter label as : Your Faucet name and in the next box enter your domain name without (www or http)

Now copy the Secret Key and go back to your Admin Page and put the copied key in "reCaptcha Private Key" section.

Step 13
Time to setup reward, its the amount of bitcoins you want to give user everytime the claim.
You can enter like "50, 100, 200, 500" which means that randomly user will get between 50 to 500.
You can edit it anytime.

Step 14
Now name your Faucet anything you want to and you can also add a slogan if you want to.
Now you see timer which means that after how many minutes a user can claim a reward. by default its 180 min = 3 Hours.
