Phproject is a web-based project management system written in PHP. It helps you manage and organize projects, tasks, and to-dos. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Phproject on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
Firstly, download the latest version of Phproject from their website https://www.phproject.org/download/. Once downloaded, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the package is saved.
cd Downloads
Extract the Phproject package with the following command:
tar -zxvf phproject-X.X.X.tar.gz
Replace 'X.X.X' with the version number that you downloaded.
To make Phproject accessible from the web, we need to copy it to the web directory of Apache2. The web directory is located at /var/www/html/ on Kali Linux.
sudo cp -r phproject /var/www/html/
Set the correct permissions to the Phproject directory with the following command:
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/phproject
This makes the directory readable, writable, and executable by everyone.
To access Phproject from the web browser, we need to create a virtual host configuration file. Open a terminal and create a new file with your preferred text editor.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phproject.conf
Add the following content to the file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phproject/public
ServerName phproject.local
<Directory /var/www/html/phproject>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file with CTRL+X, then the Y key, then the ENTER key.
Activate the virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite phproject.conf
Restart the Apache web server with the following command:
sudo service apache2 restart
Create a new MySQL database with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted, then run the following commands to create a new Phproject database named "phproject":
mysql> CREATE DATABASE phproject;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON phproject.* TO 'phprojectuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;
Replace 'password' with a strong and unique password.
Finally, install the dependencies using the Composer package manager by navigating to the Phproject installation directory and running the following command:
cd /var/www/html/phproject
composer install
Open your web browser and enter the following URL: http://phproject.local/install.php
Follow the instructions to complete the installation process. You will need to enter the database connection details and other settings.
Phproject has been successfully installed on your Kali Linux Latest system. You can now use it to manage and organize your projects, tasks, and to-dos.
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!
