Phproject is a web-based project management and collaboration tool that allows you to manage your tasks, projects, and team members in one place. This tutorial will guide you in installing Phproject on Elementary OS Latest.
First, it is essential to update the system package repository using the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Next, in order to run Phproject, you need to install the following packages:
sudo apt install apache2 php7.4 mysql-server php7.4-mysql php7.4-curl php7.4-zip php7.4-gd php7.4-intl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml composer
Create a new database, user, and password for Phproject by typing in the following commands (replace the your_phoject_db_user with the username of your choice, your_phoject_db_password with a password you want to set, and your_phoject_database with the name of the database you want to create):
sudo mysql -uroot -p
CREATE DATABASE your_phoject_database;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON your_phoject_database.* TO 'your_phoject_db_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_phoject_db_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Navigate to /var/www/html/ and create a new directory for Phproject:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo mkdir phproject
Download the latest version of the Phproject code using the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/inercia/phproject.git .
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/phproject
Next, copy the app/config/parameters.yml.dist file to app/config/parameters.yml:
sudo cp app/config/parameters.yml.dist app/config/parameters.yml
Open the app/config/parameters.yml file using the following command. Replace the database_name, database_user, and database_password with the appropriate values for the database you created earlier:
sudo nano app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
database_driver: pdo_mysql
database_host: 127.0.0.1
database_port: null
database_name: your_phoject_database
database_user: your_phoject_db_user
database_password: your_phoject_db_password
mailer_transport: smtp
mailer_host: 127.0.0.1
mailer_user: null
mailer_password: null

Save and close the file.
Create a new virtual host for Phproject by creating a new file in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phproject.conf
Add in the following code. Make sure to replace your_domain_name with the domain name you are using:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@your_domain_name
ServerName your_domain_name
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phproject/web
<Directory /var/www/html/phproject/web/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Enable the virtual host using the following command and restart the Apache web server:
sudo a2ensite phproject.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Phproject is now installed and can be accessed by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_domain_name. You will be prompted to create a new user and set up your first project after logging in.
Enjoy using Phproject to manage your tasks and projects effectively!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
