Project Send Configuration and Setup
A Quick wiki write-up for the configuration of a mysql based Project Send server for client and public file uploading and sharing, to facilitate public access and file serving.
Installation
LAMP Stack
First Update and Upgrade your system:
sudo apt update && apt upgrade
Next install your LAMP stack:
apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server imagemagick php libapache2-mod-php php-imagick php7.4-common php7.4-mysql php7.4-gd php7.4-json php7.4-curl php7.4-zip php7.4-xml php7.4-mbstring php7.4-bz2 php7.4-intl php7.4-bcmath php7.4-gmp
Now make some default configuration settings for apache2:
Open
nano /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini
And append the following lines to match:
memory_limit = 512M upload_max_filesize = 32M max_execution_time = 300 date.timezone = Asia/Kolkata
Now reboot your web service:
systemctl restart apache2
Installing database
Open mysql Installation
Then run the following to configuring new database:
MariaDB [(none)]> create database projectsend; MariaDB [(none)]> create user projectsend@localhost identified by 'password'; Now give the new database user, permissions for the new database: MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on projectsend.* to projectsend@localhost; Finally flush privlages, and exit: MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges; MariaDB [(none)]> exit;
Project Send install
Download the Project send zip and extract: (Make sure to grab the latest URL from the project send website)
wget -O projectsend.zip https://www.projectsend.org/download/387/ unzip projectsend.zip -d /var/www/html/projectsend
Now move the extracted files to the web dir:
cd /var/www/html/projectsend/includes cp sys.config.sample.php sys.config.php
Now configure the Database settings for project send:
nano sys.config.php
Append the following to the config file:
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');
/** Database name */
define('DB_NAME', 'projectsend');
/** Database host (in most cases it's localhost) */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database username (must be assigned to the database) */
define('DB_USER', 'projectsend');
/** Database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
Finally configure file permissions:
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/projectsend chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/projectsend chmod 644 /var/www/html/projectsend/includes/sys.config.php
Configuring Apache
Create the following file:
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/projectsend.conf
Append the following:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/html/projectsend/ ServerName projectsend.example.com <Directory /var/www/html/projectsend/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/example.com-access_log common </VirtualHost>
Commit the changes and restart apache:
a2enmod rewrite a2ensite projectsend.conf systemctl restart apache2
Now access your install web UI at: http://10.0.0.0/projectsend
Now you have an installed project send, and created a new user for administration.
