How to Install Phorge on EndeavourOS Latest

Phorge is a web-based project management and collaboration tool that is used by developers and project managers around the world. It is built on top of the world's most popular PHP web framework, Symfony, and uses a powerful database system to store and retrieve project data. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Phorge on an EndeavourOS Latest server.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need:

• A machine running the latest version of EndeavourOS
• A non-root user with sudo privileges
• Apache web server and PHP installed on your server

Step 1: Install required PHP extensions

Phorge uses some PHP extensions that may not be installed on your system. Run the following commands to install the required PHP extensions.

sudo pacman -S php-apcu php-cgi php-gd php-imagick php-intl php-mbstring php-pear php-pgsql

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL

Phorge uses a PostgreSQL database to store project data. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL.

sudo pacman -S postgresql

After installation, start the PostgreSQL server by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start postgresql

Step 3: Create a database and user

Create a new PostgreSQL database and user for Phorge by running the following commands. Replace phorge with a name of your choice.

sudo -u postgres createdb phorge
sudo -u postgres createuser -P phorge

When prompted, enter a password for the new user.

Step 4: Download and configure Phorge

Download Phorge from the official website by running the following command:

wget https://we.phorge.it/dl/phorge.tar.gz

Extract the archive to your web server's document root directory.

sudo tar xvzf phorge.tar.gz -C /var/www/

Rename the extracted directory to phorge.

sudo mv /var/www/phorge-master /var/www/phorge

Change the ownership of the phorge directory to the web server user.

sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/phorge

Create a new configuration file for Phorge.

sudo cp /var/www/phorge/scripts/phorge.conf.sample /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phorge.conf

Modify the /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phorge.conf file to set the database credentials. Replace the following placeholders with the credentials you created in Step 3.

# PostgreSQL database credentials
phorge_db_dsn=pgsql:host=localhost;port=5432;dbname=phorge
phorge_db_user=phorge
phorge_db_pass=password

Step 5: Configure Apache

Enable the required modules.

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/modules/rewrite.load /etc/httpd/conf/extra/
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/modules/dav.load /etc/httpd/conf/extra/

Edit the main Apache configuration file and include the Phorge configuration file.

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following line at the end of the file:

Include conf/extra/phorge.conf

Save the file and restart Apache for the changes to take effect.

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Access Phorge

Open your web browser and navigate to http://SERVER_IP/phorge. You should see the Phorge login page.

Enter the database credentials you created in Step 3 to log in to Phorge.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Phorge on your EndeavourOS Latest server. You can now use Phorge to manage your projects and collaborate with your team.
