Installation
Requirements:
- Web Server (Apache)
- MySQL DB (MariaDB)
- PHP
Web Server:
Follow a guide and check out other helpful resources.
If you just want to run the page locally, configuring Listen 127.0.0.1:80 and pointing the DocumentRoot to the CNTP/webroot folder should be sufficient.
Make sure that the web server can access the files. Example for user/group http:
chgrp -R http CNTP/
chmod -R 750 CNTP/
PHP:
Follow a guide.
The login system requires a sendmail client (I use msmtp).
Here are some required (or recommended) settings in the php.ini:
extension=curl
extension=mysqli
sendmail_path = "/usr/bin/msmtp -t"
session.use_cookies = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 2592000
Database:
- create a user and a new database (help)
- initialize the db with the provided sql dump -->
cntp_db_dump.sql - fill out
db_credentials.php
General Page Setting:
See config.php.
In the precache folder is an optional systemd service+timer that automatically precaches feeds for active users every 15 minutes.
