How to Install Restyaboard on Debian Latest?

Restyaboard is an open-source web-based project management tool that is designed to simplify collaboration for teams of all sizes. It is powered by PHP and MySQL, and provides an easy-to-use interface for managing tasks, projects, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Restyaboard on Debian latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin with the installation, make sure to have the following prerequisites:

• A Debian latest server.
• A user with sudo privileges.
• Apache web server.
• MySQL.

Step 1 - Installing Apache and PHP

First, we need to install the Apache web server and PHP along with all its required modules. Use the following command to install the Apache web server and PHP:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php php-mysql libapache2-mod-php

Once the installation is completed, start the Apache web server using the following command:

sudo systemctl start apache2

Step 2 - Installing MySQL

Next, we will install MySQL using the following command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL. Enter a strong password and remember it because you will need it later.

Step 3 - Creating a MySQL Database

Now, we need to create a MySQL database and user for Restyaboard. Follow the steps below to create a new database and user:

1. Log in to MySQL using the following command:

   sudo mysql -u root -p
   

2. Enter the MySQL root password that you set earlier.

3. Create a new MySQL database:

   CREATE DATABASE restyaboard;
   

4. Create a new MySQL user:

   CREATE USER 'restyaboarduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   

   Make sure to replace 'password' with a strong password.

5. Grant privileges to the restyaboard user:

   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON restyaboard.* TO 'restyaboarduser'@'localhost';
   

6. Flush the privileges:

   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   

   Once you are done, exit MySQL using the following command:

   exit
   

Step 4 - Downloading and Installing Restyaboard

Follow the steps below to download and install Restyaboard:

1. Navigate to the /var/www/html directory:

   cd /var/www/html
   

2. Download Restyaboard using the following command:

   sudo git clone https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board.git
   

3. Change the ownership of the Restyaboard directory to the Apache user:

   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data board/
   

4. Change the permissions of the Restyaboard directory to 755:

   sudo chmod -R 755 board/
   

Step 5 - Configuring Restyaboard

Finally, we need to configure Restyaboard to use the MySQL database that we created earlier.

1. Navigate to the Restyaboard directory:

   cd board/
   

2. Copy the config.inc.example.php file to config.inc.php:

   sudo cp config.inc.example.php config.inc.php
   

3. Edit the config.inc.php file and change the following lines:

   define('dbtype', 'mysql');
   define('dbname', 'restyaboard');
   define('dbhost', 'localhost');
   define('dbport', '');
   define('dbuser', 'restyaboarduser');
   define('dbpwd', 'password');
   

   Make sure to replace 'password' with the MySQL password that you set earlier.

4. Save the file and exit.

Step 6 - Accessing Restyaboard

Finally, we can access Restyaboard by navigating to http://your_server_ip/board/ in your web browser. You should see the Restyaboard login page.
