Sure, I'd be happy to help you. Here's a step-by-step tutorial for installing Phabricator on FreeBSD Latest:

Prerequisites

  1. A FreeBSD Latest system with root access
  2. A web server (Apache or nginx) installed and running
  3. PHP 5.6 or higher with extensions (pdo_mysql, gd, openssl, zip, and mysqli)
  4. MySQL or MariaDB database installed and running

Step 1: Install dependencies

To install Phabricator, you'll first need to install some dependencies. You can do this using the following command:

# pkg install php56 php56-mysql php56-gd php56-openssl php56-zip php56-mysqli

Step 2: Download Phabricator

You can download the latest version of Phabricator from the official website at https://phabricator.org/. Use the following command to download and extract the files:

# cd /usr/local/www
# fetch https://github.com/phacility/phabricator/archive/master.tar.gz
# tar xvzf master.tar.gz
# mv phabricator-master phabricator

Step 3: Configure the web server

Next, you need to configure your web server to serve Phabricator. Here are the configurations for nginx and Apache:

NGINX Configuration

Create a new configuration file for Phabricator in /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/phabricator.conf and add the following code:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name phabricator.example.com;
    root /usr/local/www/phabricator/webroot/;
    index index.php;

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

    location /index.php {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index  index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Apache Configuration

Edit /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf and add the following code at the end:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName phabricator.example.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/phabricator/webroot

    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    <Directory /usr/local/www/phabricator/webroot>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"
    </FilesMatch>
</VirtualHost>

Step 4: Create a database

You need to create a database for Phabricator to use. To do this, log in to your MySQL or MariaDB server and run the following commands:

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

Replace password with a strong password for the user.

Step 5: Configure Phabricator

Copy the sample configuration file and edit it:

# cd /usr/local/www/phabricator
# cp conf/local/local.json.sample conf/local/local.json
# vi conf/local/local.json

Replace __your_mysql_user__, __your_mysql_password__, __your_mysql_database__ with the user, password, and database you just created respectively.

Additionally, configure mail and HTTPS settings; follow, https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/configuring_outbound_mail/.

Step 6: Run the setup script

Once the configuration is complete, run the setup script with the following command:

# cd /usr/local/www/phabricator
# ./bin/storage upgrade --force
# ./bin/config set phabricator.base-uri 'http://phabricator.example.com/'
#  ./bin/config set pygments.enabled true

Make sure you run the storage command as root.

Once the script is finished, you should see a message confirming that Phabricator is installed.

Step 7: Log in

Finally, open your web browser and go to http://phabricator.example.com/ (replace with your domain name) to log in to Phabricator.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Phabricator on FreeBSD Latest!
