Installing ProjeQtOr on OpenBSD

ProjeQtOr is an open source project management software that can be installed on various operating systems including OpenBSD. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ProjeQtOr on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure your OpenBSD system meets the following requirements:

• OpenBSD 6.5 or later
• Apache web server
• PHP 5.4 or later
• MySQL or MariaDB database server

If any of these prerequisites are missing, make sure to install them before proceeding.

Step 1: Download ProjeQtOr

First, download the latest version of ProjeQtOr from the official website. You can use the following command to download the latest version of ProjeQtOr:

$ ftp https://www.projeqtor.org/download.php?lng=en

Extract the downloaded file using the following command:

$ tar -xzf projeqtor-8.x.x.tar.gz

Step 2: Configure Apache

ProjeQtOr requires Apache web server to run. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:

$ sudo vi /etc/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

Alias /projeqtor /path/to/projeqtodir
<Directory /path/to/projeqtodir>
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Replace /path/to/projeqtodir with the actual path to the ProjeQtOr directory.

Save and close the file.

Restart Apache web server to apply the changes:

$ sudo rcctl restart httpd

Step 3: Create MySQL Database

ProjeQtOr requires a MySQL or MariaDB database server to store its data. Use the following command to create a new database for ProjeQtOr:

$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE projeqtor;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON projeqtor.* TO 'projeqtor'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;

Replace projeqtor with the desired name of your database and password with a secure password for the projeqtor user.

Step 4: Install ProjeQtOr

Navigate to the ProjeQtOr directory and open the install/install.php file in a web browser:

http://localhost/projeqtor/install/install.php

Follow the installation wizard and provide the following information:

• Database connection details (server, username, password, database name)
• Admin user details (username, password, email)
• SMTP server details (optional)

After completing the installation, ProjeQtOr should be up and running on your OpenBSD system.
