Tasks.php is a simple, yet powerful task management tool written in PHP. It allows you to create and manage tasks, and comes with a built-in web interface.

Prerequisites

Before installing tasks.php, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A working FreeBSD Latest installation
  • PHP version 7.1 or higher
  • Git

Step 1: Install Git

To install Git on FreeBSD Latest, run the following command:

sudo pkg install git

Step 2: Clone tasks.php from Github

Next, clone tasks.php from Github using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/lgg-archive/tasks.php.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Tasks.php is built using the Composer dependency manager. To install dependencies, navigate to the "tasks.php" directory and run the following command:

Step 4: Configure tasks.php

Tasks.php comes with a default configuration file called "config.php.dist". Copy this file to "config.php" using the following command:

Next, open the "config.php" file in your favorite text editor and update the following settings:

define('DB_DSN', 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=tasks');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', '');

Here, you can specify your MySQL database settings. Replace "localhost" with your MySQL server hostname, "tasks" with your desired database name, "root" with your MySQL username, and "" with your MySQL password.

You can also update other settings such as the web server root directory, task list name, etc.
