- \n
- A server running Ubuntu 18.04 server.<\/li>\n
- A non-root user with sudo privileges.<\/li>\n
- A static IP address 192.168.0.235 configure on your server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Install LAMP Server<\/h2>\n
First, you will need to install Apache, MariaDB, PHP and other required packages to your server. You can install all of them by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-cli php7.2-gd php7.2-mysql php7.2-curl php7.2-xml php7.2-mbstring php-pear php7.2-zip php-dev git wget npm libmcrypt-dev nodejs -y<\/p>\n
Once all the packages are installed, you will need to install the mcrypt PHP extension to your system. You can install it with the pecl command:<\/p>\n
sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
sudo pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1<\/p>\nNext, add the extension mcrypt.so to php.ini file with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/php\/7.2\/cli\/php.ini<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
extension=mcrypt.so \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file. Then, start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl enable mysql<\/p>\nConfigure Database<\/h2>\n
By default, MariaDB is not secured. So you will need to secure it first. You can secure it by running the following script:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/p>\n
Answer all the questions as shown below:<\/p>\n
Enter current password for root (enter for none): Set root password? [Y\/n]: N Remove anonymous users? [Y\/n]: Y Disallow root login remotely? [Y\/n]: Y Remove test database and access to it? [Y\/n]: Y Reload privilege tables now? [Y\/n]: Y \n<\/pre>\n
Once the MariaDB is secured, log in to MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
Enter your root password, then create a database and user for Paperwork:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE paperwork DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
MariaDB [(none)]>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON paperwork.* TO ‘paperwork’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘paperwork’ WITH GRANT OPTION;<\/p>\nNext, Flush the privileges with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/p>\n
Next, exit from the MariaDB console with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> EXIT<\/p>\n
Download and Install Paperwork<\/h2>\n
First, download the latest version of Paperwork by running the following command:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/html
git clone -b 1 https:\/\/github.com\/twostairs\/paperwork.git<\/p>\nNext, instruct PHP to ignore the “mcrypt_get_iv_size has been deprecated” message by running the following command:<\/p>\n
cd paperwork\/frontend\/
sudo sed -i.bak ‘3ierror_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED);’ app\/config\/app.php<\/p>\nNext, populate the database with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo php artisan migrate<\/p>\n
Output:<\/p>\n
PHP Warning: Module 'mcrypt' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 \n************************************** \n* Application In Production! * \n************************************** \n \nDo you really wish to run this command? y \nMigration table created successfully. \nMigrated: 2014_07_22_194050_initialize \nMigrated: 2014_07_24_103915_create_password_reminders_table \nMigrated: 2014_10_08_203732_add_visibility_to_tags_table \nMigrated: 2015_01_21_034728_add_admin_to_users \nMigrated: 2015_05_05_094021_modify_tag_user_relation \nMigrated: 2015_05_22_220540_add_version_user_relation \nMigrated: 2015_06_15_224221_add_tag_parent \nMigrated: 2015_06_30_125536_add_sessions_table \nMigrated: 2015_07_29_130508_alter_versions \nMigrated: 2016_10_21_224100_fix_timestamps_for_postgres_again \n<\/pre>\n
Next, you will need to install Composer to your system. Composer is a dependency Manager for PHP that can be used to install dependencies required by PHP. You can install Composer with the following command:<\/p>\n
curl -sS https:\/\/getcomposer.org\/installer | php
sudo mv composer.phar \/usr\/local\/bin\/composer<\/p>\nNext, install PHP dependencies through composer with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo composer install<\/p>\n
Next, install npm and bower dependencies:<\/p>\n
sudo npm install -g gulp bower
sudo npm install
sudo bower install –allow-root
sudo gulp<\/p>\nNext, give proper permissions to the paperwork directory:<\/p>\n
sudo chown www-data:www-data -R \/var\/www\/html\/paperwork
sudo chmod -R 755 -R \/var\/www\/html\/paperwork<\/p>\nConfigure Apache for paperwork<\/h2>\n
Next, you will need to create an Apache virtual host for paperwork:<\/p>\n
You can do this with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/paperwork.conf<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/paperwork\/frontend\/public ServerName example.com \n <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/paperwork\/frontend\/public> Options FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All Require all granted <\/Directory> \n ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/access.log combined \n<\/VirtualHost> \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file. Then, enable apache virtual host with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite paperwork<\/p>\n
Finally, restart Apache service to apply all the changes:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\n
