How to Install Phproject on Manjaro

Phproject is an open-source project management tool that allows individuals and teams to organize and manage their projects efficiently.

If you are a Manjaro user and want to install Phproject on your system, here is a step-by-step tutorial for you.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

MariaDB or MySQL database server
Apache or Nginx web server
PHP 7.1 or higher with the following extensions:
- BCMath
- Ctype
- JSON
- LDAP
- Mbstring
- OpenSSL
- PDO
- Tokenizer
- XML
Composer
Git

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Open the terminal and run the following command to install the required packages:

sudo pacman -S mariadb php php-fpm php-gd php-ldap php-sqlite php-curl php-mbstring composer git

This command will install MariaDB or MySQL database server, PHP, PHP extensions, Composer, and Git on your system.

Step 2: Configure the Database Server

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database for Phproject:

CREATE DATABASE phproject_db;

Create a new user and set the password:

CREATE USER 'phproject_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Grant privileges to the user on the Phproject database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phproject_db.* TO 'phproject_user'@'localhost';

Exit from the MariaDB or MySQL server:

exit

Step 3: Download Phproject

Create a new directory for Phproject:

sudo mkdir /var/www/phproject

Change the ownership of the directory to the web server user:

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

Navigate to the directory:

cd /var/www/phproject

Clone Phproject from the GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/phproject/phproject.git .

Run the following command to install the dependencies:

sudo composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader

Step 4: Configure Phproject

Copy the sample configuration file:

cp config/config.yml.sample config/config.yml

Edit the configuration file with your database credentials:

sudo nano config/config.yml

Update the following lines:

dsn: 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=phproject_db'
username: 'phproject_user'
password: 'password'

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Configure Web Server

Apache

Create a new virtual host file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/phproject.conf

Add the following content to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName phproject.local
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/phproject/public"

    <Directory />
        AllowOverride none
        Require all denied
    </Directory>

    <Directory "/var/www/phproject/public">
        AllowOverride all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/phproject.error_log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/phproject.access_log" combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Enable the virtual host:

sudo a2ensite phproject

Restart the Apache server:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Nginx

Create a new virtual host file:

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

Add the following content to the file:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name phproject.local;
    root /var/www/phproject/public;

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

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

    access_log /var/log/nginx/phproject.access_log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/phproject.error_log;
}

Save and close the file.

Restart the Nginx server:

sudo systemctl restart nginx
