How to Install ProjeQtOr on Ubuntu Server Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of ProjeQtOr on the latest version of Ubuntu Server.

Requirements

• Ubuntu Server latest version
• Access to the terminal with sudo privileges

Step 1: Update your System

Before proceeding with the installation process, let’s start by updating our system packages:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Required Packages

ProjeQtOr is built with PHP, so we need to install PHP and its dependencies along with an Apache web server.

sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 php7.4-mysql php7.4-gd php7.4-cli php7.4-curl php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml libjs-jquery

Step 3: Download ProjeQtOr

Visit the ProjeQtOr website and download the latest stable version of ProjeQtOr by clicking on the download button.

After downloading, extract the archive file into the Apache www directory:

sudo tar -xzf projeqtor-<version>.tar.gz -C /var/www

Rename the extracted folder to something simpler:

sudo mv /var/www/projeqtor-<version> /var/www/projeqtor

Step 4: Configuring the Database

Create a new MySQL database for ProjeQtOr and a new user with full privileges:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password and create a new database and user for ProjeQtOr:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE projeqtor;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON projeqtor.* TO 'projeqtoruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;

projeqtoruser is the name of the MySQL user and password is the password we set for that user.

Step 5: Configuring Apache

Create a new virtual host configuration file for ProjeQtOr:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/projeqtor.conf

Add the following content to the virtual host configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName example.com
        ServerAlias www.example.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/projeqtor
        <Directory /var/www/projeqtor>
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
 
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/projeqtor_error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/projeqtor_access.log combined
 
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace example.com with your server's domain name or IP address.

Now, enable the new virtual host configuration file:

sudo a2ensite projeqtor.conf

Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 6: Install ProjeQtOr

Navigate to your server's domain name or IP address in your web browser (http://example.com/), and you should see the ProjeQtOr installation page.

The installation process will prompt you to select your language, database configuration, and some other settings. Enter the database username, password, and database name that we created earlier.

After finishing the installation process, you will be redirected to the ProjeQtOr login page. The default login credentials are:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin

Conclusion

Congratulations, you have successfully installed ProjeQtOr on the latest version of Ubuntu Server!
