Prerequisites

Before installing myTinyTodo, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A Linux Mint Latest server or desktop machine
• Apache web server with PHP support
• MySQL database server

Step 1: Download myTinyTodo

The first step in installing myTinyTodo is to download the latest version of myTinyTodo from the official website. You can download it using the wget command:

sudo wget https://github.com/maxpozdeev/mytinytodo/archive/master.zip

Once the download is complete, extract the zip file using the unzip command:

Step 2: Create a Database

The next step is to create a database for myTinyTodo. Log in to your MySQL server and create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE mytinytododb;

Create a new MySQL user and grant all privileges to the new database:

CREATE USER 'mytinytodouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mytinytododb.* TO 'mytinytodouser'@'localhost';

Step 3: Configure Apache Virtual Host

Configure the Apache virtual host configuration file by creating a new file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mytinytodo.conf:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/mytinytodo.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin your_email@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mytinytodo-master
ServerName your_domain.com
ServerAlias www.your_domain.com

<Directory /var/www/html/mytinytodo-master>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mytinytodo_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/mytinytodo_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Enable the virtual host and restart Apache:

sudo a2ensite mytinytodo.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Configure myTinyTodo

Copy the sample configuration file and rename it to config.php:

sudo cp /var/www/html/mytinytodo-master/includes/config-sample.php /var/www/html/mytinytodo-master/includes/config.php

Edit the config.php file and update the database settings:

sudo nano /var/www/html/mytinytodo-master/includes/config.php

Locate the following lines and change the database settings as follows:

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'mytinytodouser');
define('DB_PASS', 'your_password');
define('DB_NAME', 'mytinytododb');

Save and close the file.
