GLPI is a popular open-source IT asset management and helpdesk software. It is commonly used by organizations to manage their IT infrastructure and support user requests. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install GLPI on Windows 10.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Visit the official GLPI website at https://www.glpi-project.org/ and download the latest version of GLPI. Once the download is complete, extract the zip file to your desired location.
Open the MySQL or MariaDB command prompt and login to your database server. You can do this by running the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your root user password when prompted. Once you have logged in, create a new database for GLPI by running the following command:
CREATE DATABASE glpi;
Create a new user and grant it access to the newly created database with the following commands:
CREATE USER 'glpiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'glpipassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON glpi.* TO 'glpiuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'glpiuser' and 'glpipassword' with your desired username and password.
Next, you need to configure Apache to serve the GLPI files. Open the Apache configuration file located at C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf and add the following lines to the end of the file:
Alias /glpi "C:/path/to/glpi"
<Directory "C:/path/to/glpi">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Replace '/glpi' with your desired URL path and 'C:/path/to/glpi' with the path to the extracted GLPI files.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/glpi. You should see the GLPI installer page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
During the installation process, you will need to enter the database details that you created in Step 2. Make sure to enter the correct database name, username, and password.
Once the installation is complete, you should see the GLPI login page. Log in with the default username 'glpi' and password 'glpi' to access the application.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GLPI on Windows 10. You can now use GLPI to manage your IT assets and support user requests. If you encounter any issues during the installation, refer to the official GLPI documentation for troubleshooting tips.
