INSTALL.md 2.68 KiB

Requirements

You need to have installed the following:

  • git
  • webserver (apache2 recommended)
  • php
  • mariadb
  • php-mysqli

Install

Start by cloning the repo:

git clone https://edugit.org/TheDutchProgrammers/MySchoolDay.git /var/www/html/MySchoolDay
cd /var/www/html/MySchoolDay

Database

Start by executing: (whilst in /var/www/html/MySchoolDay)

$ mysql -u root -p < ./myschoolday.sql

Fill in your root password. If it doesn't give any errors, then the database is created!

For security reasons I would recommend creating an user for the database instead of using the root user. You can do this by executing the following commands:

$ mysql -u root -p

Fill in the root password again, but now you will see something like this:

Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is ##
Server version: 10.5.12-MariaDB-0+deb11u1 Debian 11

Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

MariaDB [(none)]>

Now type in the line you see the following:

CREATE USER 'myschoolday'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'CREATE_YOUR_OWN_PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON myschoolday.* TO 'myschoolday'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now press CTRL-D and you will be back in your commandline

Configuration

Go into the public/config/ folder and copy the config.template.ini to config.ini

Make the following changes:

At [database]:

  • Change db_host to localhost
  • Change db_user to myschoolday
  • Change db_password to the chosen password
  • Change db_name to myschoolday

At [application]:

  • Change app_email to the email which will be used in the futher for sending emails
  • Change app_domain to the domain where your webserver is binded to
  • Change app_folder to the folder where your myschoolday is located (E.G. /MySchoolDay/ or /) Note: ALWAYS WITH TRAILING SLASH!!!
  • Change app_language to your wanted language (check public/locale for all supported languages)
  • Change app_secret to some thing completely random: this is used for logging in

At [notification] you dont have to change anything, since it is still experimental.

Webserver

At your webserver you need to allow URLRewriting

Apache2:

<Directory /var/www/html/MySchoolDay/>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

open your broemwse

Try to go to your webserver and at the folder you have put it in and see if it works

click on the login icon on the left and use "Test School" as school name and 1 as username and 12345 as password

then refresh the page if it doesnt redirect you. and the sidebar should be filled with things you can try out.
