How to Install PHPBack on EndeavourOS Latest

PHPBack is an open source, web-based feedback system written in PHP. You can use PHPBack to collect feedback from your users, customers, or employees. This tutorial will show you how to install PHPBack on EndeavourOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:

• A server running EndeavourOS Latest
• Apache web server installed and running
• PHP version 7.2 or higher installed and running
• MySQL or compatible database server installed and running

Step 1: Download PHPBack

First, go to the PHPBack website at https://www.phpback.org and download the latest version of PHPBack. You can download the source code as a zip file or clone the Git repository.

$ sudo pacman -S git
$ git clone https://github.com/phpback/phpback.git

Step 2: Create a MySQL Database

Next, you need to create a MySQL database for PHPBack. Log in to the MySQL server as a privileged user, and run the following commands:

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

Replace phpbackuser and password with your own database user and password.

Step 3: Install PHPBack Dependencies

Before you can run PHPBack, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following commands to install the required PHP extensions:

$ sudo pacman -S php php-pecl-crypto 

Step 4: Configure Apache

You need to configure Apache to serve PHPBack from a virtual host. Create the following file in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phpback.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName phpback.example.com

    DocumentRoot "/var/www/phpback"
    <Directory "/var/www/phpback">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/phpback-error_log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/phpback-access_log" combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace phpback.example.com with your own domain name, and change the DocumentRoot directory to the location where you downloaded PHPBack.

Step 5: Configure PHPBack

Copy the config.sample.php file to config.php, and edit it to suit your needs:

$ cp config.sample.php config.php
$ nano config.php

You need to update the database settings with the details of the MySQL database you created earlier:

define('DB_USER', 'phpbackuser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_NAME', 'phpback');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_PORT', '3306');

Step 6: Run the Installer

Finally, run the install.php script to complete the installation:

$ php install.php

If everything goes well, you should see a message that says "Installation complete."

Step 7: Access Your PHPBack Installation

You can now access PHPBack by visiting http://phpback.example.com/ in your web browser. You will be prompted to log in with the username and password you set during the installation.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHPBack on EndeavourOS Latest.
