@title Configuration Guide
@group config
This document contains basic configuration instructions for Phabricator.
= Prerequisites =
This document assumes you've already installed all the components you need.
If you haven't, see @{article:Installation Guide}.
The next steps are:
- Configure your webserver (Apache, nginx, or lighttpd).
- Access Phabricator with your browser.
- Follow the instructions to complete setup.
= Webserver: Configuring Apache =
NOTE: Follow these instructions to use Apache. To use nginx or lighttpd, scroll
down to their sections.
Get Apache running and verify it's serving a test page. Consult the Apache
documentation for help. Make sure ##mod_php## and ##mod_rewrite## are enabled,
and ##mod_ssl## if you intend to set up SSL.
If you haven't already, set up a domain name to point to the host you're
installing on. You can either install Phabricator on a subdomain (like
phabricator.example.com) or an entire domain, but you can not install it in
some subdirectory of an existing website. Navigate to whatever domain you're
going to use and make sure Apache serves you something to verify that DNS
is correctly configured.
NOTE: The domain must contain a dot ('.'), i.e. not be just a bare name like
'http://example/'. Some web browsers will not set cookies otherwise.
Now, either create a VirtualHost entry (to put Phabricator on a subdomain)
or edit the Directory entry for the DocumentRoot. It should look something like
this:
name=httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *>
# Change this to the domain which points to your host.
ServerName phabricator.example.com
# Change this to the path where you put 'phabricator' when you checked it
# out from GitHub when following the Installation Guide.
#
# Make sure you include "/webroot" at the end!
DocumentRoot /path/to/phabricator/webroot
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/rsrc/(.*) - [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/favicon.ico - [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?__path__=$1 [B,L,QSA]
</VirtualHost>
If Apache isn't currently configured to serve documents out of the directory
where you put Phabricator, you may also need to add a section like this:
<Directory "/path/to/phabricator/webroot">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
After making your edits, restart Apache, then continue to "Setup" below.
= Webserver: Configuring nginx =
NOTE: Follow these instructions to use nginx. To use Apache or lighttpd, scroll
to their sections.
For nginx, use a configuration like this:
name=nginx.conf
server {
server_name phabricator.example.com;
root /path/to/phabricator/webroot;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
location / {
index index.php;
if ( !-f $request_filename )
{
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?__path__=/$1 last;
break;
}
}
location /index.php {
fastcgi_pass localhost:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
#required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
#variables to make the $_SERVER populate in PHP
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
}
}
Restart nginx after making your edits, then continue to "Setup" below.
= Webserver: Configuring lighttpd =
NOTE: Follow these instructions to use lighttpd. To use Apache or niginx, scroll
up to their sections.
For lighttpd, add a section like this to your lighttpd.conf:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "phabricator(\.example\.com)?" {
server.document-root = "/path/to/phabricator/webroot"
url.rewrite-once = (
"^(/rsrc/.*)$" => "$1",
"^(/favicon.ico)$" => "$1",
# This simulates QSA ("query string append") mode in apache
"^(/[^?]*)\?(.*)" => "/index.php?__path__=$1&$2",
"^(/.*)$" => "/index.php?__path__=$1",
)
}
You should also ensure the following modules are listed in your
server.modules list:
mod_fastcgi
mod_rewrite
Finally, you should run the following commands to enable php support:
$ sudo apt-get install php5-cgi # for ubuntu; other distros should be similar
$ sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
Restart lighttpd after making your edits, then continue below.
= Setup =
Now, navigate to whichever subdomain you set up. You should see instructions to
continue setup. The rest of this document contains additional instructions for
specific setup steps.
When you see the login screen, continue with @{article:Configuring Accounts and
Registration}.
= Storage: Configuring MySQL =
During setup, you'll need to configure MySQL. To do this, get MySQL running and
verify you can connect to it. Consult the MySQL documentation for help. When
MySQL works, you need to load the Phabricator schemata into it. To do this, run:
phabricator/ $ ./bin/storage upgrade
If your configuration uses an unprivileged user to connect to the database, you
may have to override the default user so the schema changes can be applied with
root or some other admin user:
phabricator/ $ ./bin/storage upgrade --user <user> --password <password>
You can avoid the prompt the script issues by passing the ##--force## flag (for
example, if you are scripting the upgrade process).
phabricator/ $ ./bin/storage upgrade --force
NOTE: When you update Phabricator, run `storage upgrade` again to apply any
new updates.
