How to Install PHPBack on Arch Linux

PHPBack is a user-friendly and versatile feedback system that can be installed on various web servers. If you are using Arch Linux and want to install PHPBack, you can follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

To install Apache and PHP, open a terminal window and run the following commands:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache

This will install the Apache web server and PHP on your system.

Step 2: Download PHPBack

You can download the latest version of PHPBack from its official website at https://www.phpback.org. Once you have downloaded the .tar.gz file, extract it to your desired location.

tar -zxvf phpback-x.x.x.tar.gz

Replace "x.x.x" with the actual version number you downloaded.

Step 3: Configure Apache

Next, you need to configure Apache to serve PHPBack. Open the Apache configuration file located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf using a text editor and add the following lines at the end of the file:

<Directory "/path/to/phpback">
   AllowOverride All
   Options FollowSymlinks
   Require all granted
</Directory>

Replace "/path/to/phpback" with the actual path to the directory where you extracted PHPBack in Step 2.

Save the configuration file and restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Step 4: Set Permissions

To allow PHPBack to write files, you need to set the correct permissions for the directory where you extracted PHPBack. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo chown -R http:http /path/to/phpback

Replace "/path/to/phpback" with the actual path to the directory where you extracted PHPBack in Step 2.
