How to install ProjeQtOr on Void Linux

ProjeQtOr is an open-source project management tool that provides a range of features and services for managing projects efficiently. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of ProjeQtOr on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Web Server

ProjeQtOr is a web-based tool, so we need to have a web server installed on our system. In this step, we will be using the Nginx web server to host the ProjeQtOr application. To install the Nginx web server on Void Linux, run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -y nginx

After the installation, start the Nginx web server and enable it to start automatically during system boot, using the following commands:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/nginx /var/service
sudo sv start nginx

Step 2: Install PHP

ProjeQtOr is developed in PHP, so we need to install PHP and some PHP modules that are required by ProjeQtOr to run. To install PHP and the required modules, run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -y php php-fpm php-curl php-gd php-json php-mbstring php-mysql php-pdo php-xml

After the installation, restart the PHP-FPM service using the following command:

sudo sv restart php-fpm

Step 3: Download and Extract ProjeQtOr

Now, we need to download and extract the ProjeQtOr application to the Nginx document root directory. Navigate to the /srv/http/ directory using the following command:

cd /srv/http/

Download the latest version of ProjeQtOr using the following command:

sudo wget https://github.com/projeqtorg/projeqt...

Extract the downloaded file to the current directory using the following command:

sudo tar -xf projeqt... sudo mv projeqt... projeqtor


## Step 4: Configure Nginx

We need to configure Nginx to host the ProjeQtOr application. Create a new Nginx server block configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/projeqt.conf


Add the following content to the file:

server { listen 80; server_name your_domain.com; # Replace 'your_domain.com' with your domain name or IP address.

root /srv/http/projeqtor;    # Replace '/srv/http/projeqtor' with the path where you have extracted ProjeQtOr.

# Access and error logs for ProjeQtOr
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
}

}


Save and close the file.

Restart the Nginx service to apply the changes:

sudo sv restart nginx


## Step 5: Configure ProjeQtOr

Finally, we need to configure ProjeQtOr to connect to the MySQL database. Rename the `config.default.php` file to `config.php` using the following command:

sudo mv /srv/http/projeqtor/config.default.php /srv/http/projeqtor/config.php


Edit the `config.php` file using the following command:

sudo nano /srv/http/projeqtor/config.php


Update the following fields with your MySQL database credentials:

$config_db_host = 'localhost'; $config_db_name = 'projeqtor'; $config_db_user = 'root'; $config_db_password = 'your_password';


Save and close the file.

## Step 6: Access ProjeQtOr

ProjeQtOr is now installed and configured on your Void Linux server. Open your favorite web browser and enter the IP address or domain name of your server. You will be redirected to the ProjeQtOr login page.

Enter the default username and password, `admin` and `admin`, respectively. You can now start using ProjeQtOr for your project management needs.

## Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have covered the basic steps to install and configure ProjeQtOr on Void Linux. You can now take complete advantage of the wide range of features provided by ProjeQtOr to manage your projects efficiently.
