How to Install Phorge on Fedora Server Latest

Phorge is a powerful project management tool that can be used for collaboration, task management, and more. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Phorge on a Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, you need to ensure that your Fedora Server is up-to-date, and you have the following installed:

• Apache web server.
• PHP and all of its required modules.
• MySQL or MariaDB.

Step 1: Download and Extract Phorge

First, you need to download the latest version of Phorge from their website:

$ sudo wget https://we.phorge.it/diffusion/DOWNLOAD/phorge-latest.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded file using the following command:

$ sudo tar -zxvf phorge-latest.tar.gz

Step 2: Move Phorge to Apache's Document Root

Once you have extracted phorge, move the contents of the phorge directory to Apache's document root:

$ sudo mv phorge-2.2.0/* /var/www/html/

Step 3: Configure MySQL/MariaDB

Phorge stores its data in a MySQL/MariaDB database. If you don't have MySQL/MariaDB installed on your server, then install it using the following command:

$ sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server

Next, start the MariaDB service:

$ sudo systemctl start mariadb

By default, MariaDB does not have a root password set. You can set a root password using the following command:

$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

Create a new database for Phorge using the following command:

CREATE DATABASE phorge CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci;

Also, create a new user and grant permissions to access the Phorge database:

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

GRANT ALL ON phorge.* TO 'phorgeuser'@'localhost';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 4: Configure PHP

To run Phorge, you need to configure PHP. Open the /etc/php.ini configuration file:

$ sudo nano /etc/php.ini

Set the following settings in the php.ini file:

memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 20M
upload_max_filesize = 20M
date.timezone = "America/New_York"

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new virtual host configuration file for Phorge:

$ sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phorge.conf

Paste the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
    ServerName phorge.example.com

    <Directory "/var/www/html">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/phorge-error.log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/phorge-access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and restart the Apache service:

$ sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Install Phorge

Open your web browser and navigate to http://phorge.example.com/. You will see the Phorge installation page.

Follow the on-screen instructions and provide the database details that you created earlier for MySQL/MariaDB.

Once you have completed the installation, create a new admin user, and you can start using Phorge for project management.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Phorge on a Fedora server. Once you have completed the installation, you can start using Phorge for better collaboration, task management, and more.
