Phproject is a free, open-source project management system that helps teams collaborate and organize their work efficiently. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps necessary to install Phproject on Void Linux.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed and set up on your Void Linux system:
If you need help setting up any of these prerequisites, please consult the documentation for your specific system.
To begin with, you will need to download and extract the Phproject archive. You can do this with the following commands:
# Navigate to your Apache or Nginx document root directory
cd /var/www/html/
# Download the latest Phproject release from GitHub (replace x.x.x with the latest version)
wget https://github.com/BuonOmo/phproject/releases/download/x.x.x/phproject-x.x.x.zip
# Extract the files from the archive
unzip phproject-x.x.x.zip
Next, you will need to create a database and user for Phproject to use. You can do this by logging into your MariaDB or MySQL command prompt as the root user and running the following commands:
# Log in to MySQL or MariaDB as the root user
sudo mysql -u root -p
# Create a new database for Phproject
CREATE DATABASE phproject;
# Create a new user and password for Phproject
CREATE USER 'phprojectuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
# Grant all privileges to the Phproject user on the Phproject database
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phproject.* TO 'phprojectuser'@'localhost';
# Flush the MySQL privileges to apply the changes
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
# Exit from the MySQL prompt
exit
Be sure to replace password with a strong, unique password of your choice.
Now that you have extracted the Phproject files and created a database and user, you can configure Phproject.
First, navigate to the config/ directory of the Phproject installation.
cd /var/www/html/phproject/config/
Copy the config.sample.php file to config.php.
cp config.sample.php config.php
Next, edit the config.php file with your MySQL or MariaDB database information.
# Edit the config.php file with your text editor of choice (nano, vim, etc.)
nano config.php
Change the following settings in the config.php file:
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'phproject');
define('DB_USER', 'phprojectuser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
Be sure to replace password with the password you created for the phprojectuser in Step 2.
Save and close the config.php file.
You will need to set the permissions for the phproject/cache/ and phproject/tmp/ directories to make sure they are writable. You can do this with the following command:
chmod -R 777 cache tmp
Finally, you can test your Phproject installation by navigating to the URL for your server in your web browser.
For example, if your server IP address is 192.168.0.100, you would navigate to:
http://192.168.0.100/phproject/
You should see the Phproject login screen. If you see this, congratulations - you have successfully installed and configured Phproject on Void Linux!
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure Phproject on Void Linux. You should now be able to start using Phproject to manage your projects and collaborate with your team.
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!
