ProjectSend is a self-hosted file sharing tool that allows you to securely share files with your clients, colleagues, and friends. The installation process is straightforward, and we will show you how to install ProjectSend with ease.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, you need to have the following:

• A server or VPS running OpenSUSE Latest.
• A non-root user with sudo privileges.
• Apache or NGINX web server installed on your server.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

To install ProjectSend, we need to install some required packages. Open the terminal and execute:

sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install apache2 mysql-community-server mysql-community-server-client php7 php7-mysql apache2-mod_php7

Step 2: Configure MySQL

Next, we need to set up a MySQL database for ProjectSend. Execute the following commands:

sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql
sudo mysql_secure_installation

Follow the prompts to secure the MySQL installation by setting a root password, removing anonymous user accounts, disabling remote root login, and removing test databases.

Now log in to the MySQL server using the root user:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create a new database and user for ProjectSend:

CREATE DATABASE projectsend_database;
CREATE USER 'projectsend_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'projectsend_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON projectsend_database.* TO 'projectsend_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Step 3: Download and Install ProjectSend

Now we need to download and install ProjectSend. Visit the ProjectSend website and download the latest version of ProjectSend. You can download the zip file using the following command:

sudo wget https://github.com/projectsend/projectsend/archive/master.zip

Extract the zip file:

sudo unzip master.zip

Copy the extracted files to the Apache web directory:

sudo cp -a projectsend-master/* /srv/www/htdocs/

Give the correct permissions to the ProjectSend directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/www/htdocs/
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/www/htdocs/

Step 4: Configure Apache

Next, we need to configure Apache to point to the ProjectSend installation directory. Open the Apache configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

Alias /projectsend /srv/www/htdocs/
<Directory /srv/www/htdocs/>
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
</Directory>

Save and exit the file.

Now restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 5: Access ProjectSend

Now that we have installed and configured ProjectSend, you can access it through your web browser by visiting your server's IP address or domain name followed by /projectsend. For example, http://yourIPaddress/projectsend. You should see the ProjectSend login page.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed ProjectSend on OpenSUSE Latest.
