Step 4: Configure TaskBoard

Next, you will need to configure TaskBoard. To do so, copy the config/config.sample.php file to config/config.php:

Make sure to set the base_url to your TaskBoard URL, db_conn to your database connection string, and timezone to your local timezone.

Step 5: Create a VirtualHost Configuration for TaskBoard

To access TaskBoard via a web browser, you will need to configure a virtual host on your web server. You can create a new virtual host file for TaskBoard with the following command:

    <Directory /var/www/taskboard>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/taskboard_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/taskboard_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace yourdomain.com with your website's domain or IP address.

Step 6: Restart the Web Server

Finally, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Access TaskBoard

You can now access TaskBoard by visiting the URL that you set in the virtual host configuration. For example, if you set yourdomain.com in the configuration, you can access the TaskBoard by navigating to http://yourdomain.com/taskboard.
