How to Install TimeOff.Management on Manjaro

TimeOff.Management is a web-based application that helps businesses manage their employee time off requests. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install TimeOff.Management on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

• Manjaro Linux installed
• Apache web server installed
• PHP installed
• MySQL/MariaDB database server installed

Step 1: Download TimeOff.Management

First, visit the TimeOff.Management website at https://timeoff.management and download the latest version of the application.

Step 2: Extract the ZIP File

Once the download is complete, extract the ZIP file to a directory on your system.

Step 3: Secure Apache Server

To secure the Apache server on Manjaro, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation

Step 4: Create MySQL/MariaDB Database

TimeOff.Management requires a MySQL/MariaDB database to store employee information. To create a new database, run the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL/MariaDB root password when prompted.

CREATE DATABASE timeoffdb;
GRANT ALL ON timeoffdb.* TO 'timeoffuser' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Replace "password" with a strong password of your choice.

Step 5: Configure TimeOff.Management

Next, navigate to the extracted directory and rename the config-sample.php file to config.php.

cd timeoff.management
mv config-sample.php config.php

Edit the config.php file and update the following lines:

define("DB_TYPE", "mysql");
define("DB_HOST", "localhost"); 
define("DB_NAME", "timeoffdb"); 
define("DB_USER", "timeoffuser"); 
define("DB_PASS", "password"); 

Replace "password" with the same password you used in Step 4.

Step 6: Move TimeOff.Management to Web Server Root

Move the TimeOff.Management directory to the Apache web server root directory:

sudo mv timeoff.management /srv/http/

Step 7: Set Permissions

Set the correct permissions on the TimeOff.Management directory:

sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/timeoff.management
sudo chmod -R 775 /srv/http/timeoff.management

Step 8: Access TimeOff.Management

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/timeoff.management to access the TimeOff.Management application.
