Phproject is a free and open-source project management software that allows you to manage your projects, tasks, and team effectively. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Phproject on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
First, you need to install the required packages for Phproject. OpenBSD comes with pre-installed PHP and Apache web server. You just have to install MySQL and PHP extensions, which are required for Phproject.
Run the following command to install MySQL and PHP extensions:
# pkg_add mysql-server php-pdo_mysql php-json php-gd php-curl php-zip
Once MySQL is installed, you need to configure it. Run the following command to start MySQL and enable it to start automatically on system startup:
# rcctl enable mysqld
# rcctl start mysqld
Next, you need to set the root password for MySQL. Run the following command to do so:
# mysql -u root -p
Enter the default password or leave it blank if you haven't set it previously. Then, set a new password for the root user by running the following query.
mysql> ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
Go to the Phproject website and download the latest version of the software.
# cd /tmp
# fetch https://github.com/ingjavierpinilla/Phproject/releases/download/v2.2.0/phproject-2.2.0.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf phproject-2.2.0.tar.gz -C /var/www/htdocs/
Create a new MySQL database for Phproject by running the following command:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE phproject;
Next, create a new MySQL user and grant all the necessary privileges to it.
mysql> CREATE USER 'phproject'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phproject.* TO 'phproject'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Navigate to /var/www/htdocs/phproject-2.2.0/config.php and edit the following configuration variables using your preferred text editor.
define('PG_DB', 'phproject');
define('PG_USERNAME', 'phproject');
define('PG_PASSWORD', 'new_password');
define('PG_HOSTNAME', 'localhost');
Finally, you need to change ownership and permissions of the Phproject directory to allow Apache to read and write files.
# chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/phproject-2.2.0
# chmod -R 755 /var/www/htdocs/phproject-2.2.0
Restart Apache to apply the changes by running the following command:
# rcctl restart httpd
Now, open your web browser and go to http://localhost/phproject-2.2.0. You should be able to see the Phproject login page.
In this tutorial, we explained how to install Phproject on OpenBSD. You have successfully installed Phproject, and you can now use it to manage your projects efficiently.
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!
