How to Install PHP Censor on EndeavourOS Latest

PHP Censor is a free and open-source continuous integration tool, used for testing PHP projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install PHP Censor on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation, you need to have the following prerequisites installed on your EndeavourOS system:

• Apache or Nginx Web server
• MySQL or MariaDB database server
• PHP 7.2 or later
• Git

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

First of all, update the system packages and install the required PHP extensions using the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-fpm php-mysql git

Step 2 - Download and Extract PHP Censor

Now, we will download the PHP Censor source code from the official GitHub repository using Git. Navigate to the web root directory and clone the repository using the following command:

cd /var/www/
git clone https://github.com/php-censor/php-censor.git

Once the download is complete, extract the PHP Censor files from the php-censor directory to the web root directory:

mv php-censor/* /var/www/

Step 3 - Configure Database

Next, we need to create and configure the MySQL or MariaDB database for PHP Censor. Log in to your MySQL or MariaDB shell as the root user:

sudo mysql

Create a new database and user for PHP Censor:

CREATE DATABASE php_censor;
CREATE USER 'php_censor'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON php_censor.* TO 'php_censor'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace 'password' with your own password for the user.

Step 4 - Configure PHP Censor

Now, we need to configure PHP Censor to connect to the database. Navigate to the config folder and copy the config.yml.example file to a new config.yml file:

cd /var/www/config/
cp config.yml.example config.yml

Edit the config.yml file and update the MySQL or MariaDB database connection details:

# Database settings
database:
  driver: 'mysql'
  host: 'localhost'
  port: 3306
  username: 'php_censor'
  password: 'password'
  database: 'php_censor'
  charset: 'utf8'

Replace 'password' with your own password for the user.

Step 5 - Configure Web Server

Configure your Web server to serve PHP Censor by creating a new virtual host or using an existing one, and adding the following directives:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName phpcensor.local
    DocumentRoot /var/www/public/  # change the path according to your configuration
    <Directory "/var/www/public/">
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name phpcensor.local;
    root /var/www/public/;  # change the path according to your configuration
    index index.php;
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri /index.php =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;  # change the path according to your configuration
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Replace phpcensor.local with your desired domain name, and /var/www/public/ with the path to the PHP Censor installation directory.

Step 6 - Test PHP Censor

Restart your Web server and navigate to http://phpcensor.local in your web browser. You should see the PHP Censor login page.

Use the default username (admin) and password (password) to log in to the PHP Censor dashboard. Once logged in, you can configure PHP Censor to monitor and test your PHP projects.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHP Censor on EndeavourOS Latest.
