Installing DocPHT on MXLinux Latest

DocPHT is an open-source, lightweight, and easy-to-use PHP-based software program that helps users create and manage documentations for projects. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing DocPHT on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following tools and prerequisites in place:

• A running MXLinux Latest installation
• LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL, PHP)
• A web browser

Step 1: Download DocPHT

You can download the latest version of DocPHT from the official website - https://docpht.org/.

Alternatively, you can use the following command in your MXLinux terminal to clone the DocPHT GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/BlackrockDigital/startbootstrap-stylish-portfolio

Step 2: Configure Apache

Next, we need to configure Apache to serve the DocPHT website. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Apache configuration file by running the following command:

   sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
   

2. Add the following code inside the <VirtualHost *:80> tags:

   DocumentRoot /path/to/docpht
   ServerName your.ip.address
   

   Replace /path/to/docpht with the actual path where you have stored the downloaded DocPHT files. Also, replace your.ip.address with the IP address or domain name of your server.

3. Save the file and exit.

Step 3: Create MySQL Database

We need to create a MySQL database for DocPHT to store all its data. Follow these steps to create a new database:

1. Log in to the MySQL command-line interface by running the following command:

   mysql -u root -p
   

2. Enter the MySQL root user password when prompted.

3. Create a new database by running the following command:

   CREATE DATABASE docpht;
   

4. Create a new MySQL user and password by running the following command:

   CREATE USER 'docphtuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   

   Replace password with a secure password of your choice.

5. Grant all permissions to the new user by running the following command:

   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON docpht.* TO 'docphtuser'@'localhost';
   

6. Flush MySQL privileges by running the following command:

   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   

7. Exit the MySQL command-line interface by running the following command:

   exit
   

Step 4: Install DocPHT

Follow these steps to install DocPHT:

1. Navigate to the DocPHT directory by running the following command:

   cd /path/to/docpht
   

2. Rename the configuration file by running the following command:

   mv config.sample.php config.php
   

3. Edit the config.php file by running the following command:

   sudo nano config.php
   

4. Modify the following lines with your MySQL database details:

   define('DB_USER', 'docphtuser');
   define('DB_PASS', 'password');
   define('DB_NAME', 'docpht');
   

5. Save the file and exit.

6. Make the cache and public/files directories writeable by Apache:

   sudo chown www-data cache public/files
   sudo chmod 775 cache public/files
   

7. Finally, load DocPHT in your web browser by visiting http://your.ip.address.

Conclusion

By now, you should have DocPHT installed and running on your MXLinux Latest installation. You can start using this software to manage and create documentations for your software projects.

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!
