How to install it ?

1. Uncompressing the file

After than you have downloaded philex archive, unzzip all files on directory which is on the www of your web server ex: /home/your_name/www/philex to give us an url like that : http://www.your.com/philex

The archive contains:

/auth : contains access and authentication methods
/docs : documentation
/include : some include files
/lost+found : when copying or uploading files faild (not yet implemented)
/lang : translation dictionnaries
/temp : philex employ his own temp dir ( for cache )
/themes : relooking philex ;)
/tools : useful scripts found on the net
/trash : each user has his trash
/users_settings : settings files for each user (theme, language ...)

2. Editing config file:

On this step we have to configure philex, to allow it a correctly work with less bugs (coz bugs exist always :-P )
i m going to detail every instruction and its role

• define (_ScriptDir ,realpath(".")) ;
  _ScriptDir is a global variable that indicate philex path,
  realpath has been added on version 0.2.1, if this doesn't work ,set _ScriptDir manualy
  define (_ScriptDir ,"/home/myhome/www/philex") ;
• define (_UseMultiusers ,1);
  _UseMultiusers is et to "1" or "true" for using philex with multiusers, for that you must going to next step "authentication method",
  if that is disable ( 0 ou false) philex take default user "default"
  => homedir: _DefaultBaseDir
  => option : /usersetting/default.php
  => trash : /trash/default
  

3. Choosing authentication method :

If you are using philex for personal use "define (_UseMultiusers ,0)", go directly to the next step

since version 0.2.1 I've changed control user method, for purpose to allow each one the choice to use his own DB and its inital structure; Some of these modules are under development

Main algorithm:
username + password ---IN---> login.php "function VerifPwd() " ---OUT---> [AUTH_OK + HOMEDIR or AUTH_NOK]

allowed mthods:Textfile, MySQL, LDAP, MsAccess, PgSQL

A.using text file : (./auth/simple)

"data.txt" contains users list ended by "\n"
exemple : test|098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6|/home/test
test : username
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6 : the password crypted with md5()
/home/test : the home's dir

B.using MySQL : (./auth/mysql)

first edit and set your own configuration ./auth/mysql/mysql.conf.php :

define (_AUTH_MYSQL_HOST ,"localhost");
define (_AUTH_MYSQL_DB ,"philex");
define (_AUTH_MYSQL_USER ,"root");
define (_AUTH_MYSQL_PWD ,"");

define (_AUTH_MYSQL_TABLE,"users");

define (_AUTH_MYSQL_USER_FIELD,"Login");
define (_AUTH_MYSQL_PWD_FIELD,"Pwd");
define (_AUTH_MYSQL_HOME_FIELD,"Dir");

define (_AUTH_MYSQL_PWD_FIELD_ENCRYPTION, "mysql")

If you want to choose an existing DB change table's fields or create original philex sturcture "sample.sql".

_AUTH_MYSQL_PWD_FIELD_ENCRYPTION can be :

• mysql: to encrypt passwords with mysql function passwrod()
• md5: to use md5() php function
• false: don't crypt

C.using LDAP : (./auth/LDAP)

first edit and set your own configuration ./auth/ldap/ldap.conf.php :

$AUTH_LDAP_HOST ="localhost";
$AUTH_LDAP_PORT ="389";
$AUTH_LDAP_ROOT ="dc=example, dc=com";
$AUTH_LDAP_ROOTDN ="uid=Manager, $AUTH_LDAP_ROOT";
$AUTH_LDAP_ROOTPW ="secret";

$AUTH_LDAP_USER_ATTRIBUTE="uid";
$AUTH_LDAP_PWD_ATTRIBUTE="userPassword";
$AUTH_LDAP_HOME_ATTRIBUTE="homeDirectory";

Note : it's the same for the others authentication systems.

4. Changing permession to directories :

you owe to set the following dir's permession

chmod -R 0777 to :
/temp
/trash
/users_settings
/lost+found
