Readme / Config cleanup

[Feldunost]

Hello,

I'm trying to set-up a server and I tried multiple ways as the following:

Debian 10 netinstall + Apache2 + Php7.3 + Php-FPM + Postgresql Debian 10 netinstall + Nginx + Php7.3 + Php-FPM + Postgresql

I was only able to access once on http :80 everything else didn't work. There are too much config files and I'm unable to follow a simple guide out there.

Either a simple install /var/www/html Or a double install on 2 folders /var/www/html/folder1 and /var/www/html/folder2 I'm using 2.8 version of selfoss, but i heard there is a 2.9 ?

I think it needs a cleanup and a proper install guide.

Hello,

With Apache, the installation of selfoss should just be copying the contents of selfoss zip file to the /var/www/html.

Of course, you need some pre-requisites like enabling mod_rewrite in .htaccess by adding AllowOverrides to the Apache config, see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rewrite-urls-with-mod-rewrite-for-apache-on-debian-10- and set up Apache so it can use PHP. Not sure how to do that with PHP-fpm – with Apache mod_php is usually chosen, see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mariadb-php-lamp-stack-on-debian-10#step-3-%E2%80%94-installing-php

With nginx, either of the configs shown on wiki (e.g. https://github.com/SSilence/selfoss/wiki/nginx-configuration) should work, but you will need to double check all the paths since different Linux distributions use different paths and we cannot mention all of them.

The current stable version is 2.18 but we offer development previews of 2.19 with many bug fixes and

Hello,

Thanks for the reply, currently trying with nginx config on a Debian 10.

It seems it now uses www-data:www-data as main user & group instead of nginx:nginx as i knew it to be the norm. It's fine i left it as www-data on configs both nginx and php-fpm.

I am still unable to make it work properly even with that config : https://github.com/SSilence/selfoss/wiki/nginx-configuration I am sure it's about PHP / Nginx that gets a faulty configuration.

Can u test it out and see with debian amd64 netinstall ?

I'm quite lost with config files (which one shoud i use ?) : /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

Thoses are straightforward and easily understandable: /etc/php/7.3/fpm/php.ini /etc/php/7.3/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

On my own html pages : https://192.168.1.107/index.html It serves correctly on https a simple page i crafted.

If I put https://192.168.1.107/veille/index.php Doesn't works it gives this error : 2020/07/28 16:03:47 [error] 1575#1575: *5 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: HTTP 404 (GET /index.php)PHP message: [veille/index.php:57] Base->run()" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.101, server: 192.168.1.107, request: "GET /veille/index.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock:", host: "192.168.1.107"

Either on Apache or Nginx i get this on logs (/var/www/html/veille/data/logs/default.log): [2020-07-28 17:10:55] selfoss.ERROR: HTTP 404 (GET /index.php)

[Feldunost]

Fixed, was simply the following changes to do :

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf add before end:

<Directory /var/www/html/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>
