How to Install Tasks.php on Kali Linux Latest

Tasks.php is a simple and lightweight web-based task manager that allows users to create, assign, and organize tasks from anywhere. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing tasks.php on Kali Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• Kali Linux
• Apache web server
• MySQL server
• PHP 5.3 or newer with mysqli extension installed

Step 1: Download Tasks.php

First, download tasks.php from its official repository on GitHub:

$ git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git

Step 2: Configure MySQL

Create a new MySQL database and user for tasks.php:

$ sudo mysql
mysql> CREATE DATABASE tasks;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON tasks.* TO 'tasks'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;

Step 3: Configure Apache

Create a new virtual host configuration file for tasks.php:

$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/tasks.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName tasks.example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/tasks
    <Directory /var/www/tasks>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tasks_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tasks_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file, and enable the new virtual host:

$ sudo a2ensite tasks.conf
$ sudo systemctl reload apache2

Step 4: Configure Tasks.php

Copy the sample configuration file to config.php:

$ cd tasks.php
$ cp config.sample.php config.php

Edit config.php with your MySQL database credentials and the base URL of your tasks.php installation:

<?php
// MySQL database settings
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'tasks');
define('DB_USER', 'tasks');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');

// Base URL of the tasks.php installation
define('BASE_URL', 'http://tasks.example.com');
?>

Step 5: Install Tasks.php

Navigate to your tasks.php installation URL in your web browser, and follow the installation wizard to complete the installation.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed tasks.php on Kali Linux. You can now use tasks.php to create, assign, and organize tasks from anywhere.
