Install LAMP Server<\/h2>\n
Before starting, you will need to install Apache web server, MariaDB and PHP to your system. First, install Apache and MariaDB with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server -y<\/p>\n
Once the installation has been completed, you will need to add Ondrej PHP repository to your system. SoPlanning does not support PHP 7.2 yet, so we will install PHP 7.1 from Ondrej repository. You can add it with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/p>\n
Press <ENTER>, when the PPA installer asks for confirmation. Next, install PHP with all the required dependencies\u00a0by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-mysql php7.1-curl php7.1-json php7.1-cgi php7.1-recode php7.1-sq php7.1-intl libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-xmlrpc php7.1-gd php7.1-mbstring php7.1 php7.1-common php7.1-xmlrpc php7.1-soap php7.1-xml php7.1-intl php7.1-cli php7.1-ldap php7.1-zip php7.1-readline php7.1-imap php7.1-tidy -y<\/p>\n
Once all the packages are installed, start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot time with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb<\/p>\nCreate a database user and database for SoPlanning. Log in to MariaDB as root user:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
and create a new database and database user named ‘soplanning’ with password ‘soplanning-pass’.<\/span><\/p>\n
CREATE DATABASE soplanning;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON soplanning.* TO ‘soplanning’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘soplanning-pass’;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit<\/p>\nInstall SoPlanning<\/h2>\n
First, download the latest version of SoPlanning from Source Forge using the following command:<\/p>\n
cd \/tmp
wget https:\/\/excellmedia.dl.sourceforge.net\/project\/soplanning\/soplanning\/v1.42\/soplanning-1-42.zip<\/p>\nNext, unzip the downloaded file:<\/p>\n
unzip soplanning-1-42.zip<\/p>\n
Next, copy extracted directory to the Apache web root directory:<\/p>\n
sudo cp -r soplanning \/var\/www\/html\/soplanning<\/p>\n
Next, give proper ownership and permission with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R www-data.www-data \/var\/www\/html\/soplanning
sudo chmod -R 775 \/var\/www\/html\/soplanning<\/p>\nConfigure Apache for SoPlanning<\/h2>\n
Next, you will need to create an Apache virtual host for SoPlanning. You can do this with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/soplanning.conf<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> \nServerName example.com \nServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> \nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/soplanning\/ \n \n<Directory \/var\/www\/html\/soplanning\/> \nAllowOverride All \nOrder allow,deny \nallow from all \n<\/Directory> \n \nErrorLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/soplanning_error.log \nCustomLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/soplanning_custom.log combined \n \n<\/VirtualHost> \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, then enable Apache virtual host file and Apache rewrite module with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite soplanning.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite<\/p>\nFinally, restart Apache web service to apply the changes:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\n
