How to Install Hiccup on FreeBSD Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hiccup on FreeBSD Latest. Hiccup is a web-based time tracking and invoicing application developed by DesignedByAshW.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

Step 1 - Download and Extract the Hiccup Files

Start by creating a new folder where you will store the Hiccup files. You can choose any directory you like, but we recommend using the /usr/local/www directory.

sudo mkdir /usr/local/www/hiccup

Next, download the latest version of Hiccup from the official website:

sudo wget -O hiccup.tar.gz https://designedbyashw.in/test/hiccup/Download/hiccup.tar.gz

Extract the contents of the downloaded file to the directory you created earlier:

sudo tar -xvf hiccup.tar.gz -C /usr/local/www/hiccup/

Step 2 - Create a MySQL Database and User

Hiccup stores its data in a MySQL database. To create a new database and user, log in to the MySQL server as the root user:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database for Hiccup:

CREATE DATABASE hiccup;

Create a new user and grant him full privileges to the newly created database:

CREATE USER 'hiccup_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON hiccup.* TO 'hiccup_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Exit the MySQL prompt:

exit

Step 3 - Configure the Database Settings

Open the config.php file in the Hiccup directory using your favorite text editor:

sudo nano /usr/local/www/hiccup/config.php

Update the following settings to match your MySQL credentials:

define('DBHOST', 'localhost');
define('DBNAME', 'hiccup');
define('DBUSER', 'hiccup_user');
define('DBPASS', 'yourpassword');

Save and close the file.

Step 4 - Configure the Web Server

Next, we need to configure the web server to serve the Hiccup files. Here is an example configuration for Nginx:

For Nginx

Create a new configuration file for Hiccup:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/hiccup.conf

Paste the following configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your_domain.tld;
    root /usr/local/www/hiccup;
    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files $uri =404;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Replace your_domain.tld with your own domain name or server IP address. Save and close the file.

Restart the Nginx server to apply the changes:

sudo service nginx restart

For Apache

If you are using Apache, you can use the following configuration to serve Hiccup:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_domain.tld
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/hiccup
    <Directory /usr/local/www/hiccup>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/hiccup_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/hiccup_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace your_domain.tld with your own domain name or server IP address. Save and close the file.

Restart the Apache server to apply the changes:

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 5 - Open Hiccup in a Web Browser

Once you have completed the installation and configuration steps, open your web browser and visit the following URL:

http://your_domain.tld

Replace your_domain.tld with your own domain name or server IP address. You should see the Hiccup login page. Use the default credentials to log in:

That's it! You have successfully installed Hiccup on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start tracking your time and issuing invoices with Hiccup.

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!
