Install a server with RHEL7 (or other compatible LAMP server)

• Install a RHEL7 Server choosing the "Basic Web Server" environment
• Follow the instructions from the upstram project http://www.phpmyfaq.de/docs/2.8#2.1

Git clone the source to your DocumentRoot folder

cd $DOCUMENTROOT
git clone https://github.com/npatel2012/myfaq-php-isa.git myphpfaq.dev

Note: You can use other destination directory. Change it if needed.

Create a copy of the phpMyFAQ database

Note: Use the provided sample available on $DOCUMENTROOT/myphpfaq/dbsample/faq.sql

Prepare the server:

yum install mysql-server
service mysqld on
mysql_secure_installation

Create the dev database:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE devfaqdb;
mysql> GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'devfaquser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'change-this-dev-password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `devfaqdb`.* TO 'devfaquser'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> \q

(Optional) mysql devfaqdb < $DOCUMENTROOT/myphpfaq/dbsample/faq.sql

Configure the system with Red Hat specifics

Optional:

Edit .htaccess and change: RewriteBase /

Database configuration: Edit config/database.php to set the DB access:

<?php
$DB['server'] = 'localhost';
$DB['user'] = 'devfaquser';
$DB['password'] = 'my-new-dev-password';
$DB['db'] = 'devfaqdb';
$DB['prefix'] = '';
$DB['type'] = 'mysqli';
?>

LDAP config integration: Edit config/ldap.php to look like:

<?php
// Main LDAP server
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_server'] = 'ldaps://ldap.corp.redhat.com';
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_port'] = '636';
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_user'] = '';
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_password'] = '';
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_base'] = 'ou=users,dc=redhat,dc=com';
?>

Edit config/constants_ldap.php and do the following changes:

// Datamapping - in this example for an ADS
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_mapping'] = array (
'name'     => 'cn',
'username' => 'uid',
'mail'     => 'mail'
);

// Option to use anonymous LDAP connection (without username and password)
// Default: false
$PMF_LDAP['ldap_use_anonymous_login'] = true;
