How to Install PHPBack on Fedora Server Latest

PHPBack is a free, open-source feedback system used for web developers and businesses to receive feedback from their clients or customers. In this tutorial, we will be discussing how to install PHPBack on Fedora Server Latest.

Follow the steps below to install PHPBack on your Fedora Server Latest:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to ensure that all necessary dependencies are installed. PHPBack relies on Apache, PHP, and MySQL/MariaDB to function. You can install these dependencies on your Fedora server with the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd mariadb-server php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-mbstring php-json

Step 2: Download and Extract PHPBack

Next, download the latest version of PHPBack from https://www.phpback.org/. Once downloaded, extract the PHPBack archive into your Apache web directory. This typically is located at /var/www/html/.

Step 3: Configure Apache

You will need to create a virtual host file for PHPBack. This should be located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and named phpback.conf. Use the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phpback
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/phpback_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/phpback_access.log combined

    <Directory /var/www/html/phpback>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Note:

Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your server's domain name or IP address.

Step 4: Configure MySQL/MariaDB

Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database and user for PHPBack. You can do this with the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

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

Note:

Make sure to replace password with a secure password of your choice.

Step 5: Configure PHPBack

Open the PHPBack configuration file located at /var/www/html/phpback/include/config.php and update the MySQL/MariaDB database credentials with the username and password you created in step 4.

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'phpback');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_NAME', 'phpback');

Note:

Make sure to replace password with the password you specified for the phpback database user in step 4.

Step 6: Complete the Installation

Finally, you can complete the installation by visiting your server's domain name or IP address in a web browser. You should see the PHPBack installation wizard. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHPBack on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now use the feedback tool to receive feedback from your clients or customers.
