How to Install Phproject on Clear Linux Latest

Phproject is a web-based project management tool that allows teams to collaborate on projects, track time, and manage tasks. It is customizable and can be tailored to fit any project's unique needs. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step through the installation of Phproject on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, please ensure that:

Step 1: Install Apache

Phproject runs on Apache web server, so the first step is to install Apache. Follow the commands below to install:

sudo swupd bundle-add web-server-basic

After installation, start the Apache web server:

sudo systemctl start httpd

Make sure you enable the Apache web server to start at boot as well:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 2: Install PHP

You need to install PHP to enable the Phproject to run on Apache web server. In Clear Linux Latest, you can install PHP using the following command:

sudo swupd bundle-add php-basic

After installation, enable PHP on Apache by running:

sudo sed -i 's/LoadModule mpm_event/#LoadModule mpm_event/' /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
sudo sed -i 's/#LoadModule mpm_prefork/LoadModule mpm_prefork/' /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 3: Install MariaDB

Phproject uses a database to store information, so you will need to install MariaDB. Run the following commands to install:

sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb

After installation, start MariaDB:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

Then, you can run the following command to secure MariaDB:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Enter root password and set admin password.

Step 4: Create a Database for Phproject

Next, you will create a database for Phproject to use with MariaDB.

Log in to the MariaDB console by running:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database and user for Phproject:

CREATE DATABASE phproject;
CREATE USER 'phprojectuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phproject.* TO 'phprojectuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Step 5: Download Phproject

Download the latest version of Phproject from the official website https://www.phproject.org/download and install it in your desired location.

You can use the following commands to download and install Phproject:

cd /var/www/html
sudo curl -sL https://github.com/PHProject/phproject/releases/download/3.7.8/phprojekt-3.7.8.1.tar.gz -o phproject.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf phproject.tar.gz
sudo mv phprojekt-3.7.8.1 phproject

Step 6: Configure Phproject

After downloading Phproject, you should edit the configuration file with the database information to complete the installation.

cd /var/www/html/phproject
sudo cp config/settings.sample.php config/settings.php
sudo nano config/settings.php 

In the configuration file, change the following lines:

Settings::$dbtype = 'mysqli';
Settings::$dbhost = 'localhost';
Settings::$dbname = 'phproject';
Settings::$dbuser = 'phprojectuser';
Settings::$dbpass = 'password';

Step 7: Set File Permissions

To ensure that Phproject runs smoothly, you need to set the correct file permissions. You can do this by running:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/phproject
sudo find /var/www/html/phproject -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
sudo find /var/www/html/phproject -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/phproject/tmp/

Step 8: Restart Apache

Restart the Apache web server using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 9: Accessing Phproject

After completing the above configuration steps, you can access Phproject by visiting your server's IP address or domain name in a web browser. The default URL is http://your-server-ip/phproject.
