Debian

Install using Apache and MariaDB

This was tested with Debian 9

Install git, mysql, apache and PHP with needed modules:

apt-get install git mysql-server apache2 php php-xml php-zip php-curl php-mysql php-mbstring php-gd

Get FlightAirMap from git:

cd /var/www
git clone http://github.com/ysurac/flightairmap

Edit Apache conf /etc/apache2/site-available/000-default.conf, add this in VirtualHost section:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/flightairmap"
<Directory /var/www/flightairmap>
   Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

Enable mod rewrite:

a2enmod rewrite

Restart apache2:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Fix permissions:

chmod 666 require/settings.php
chmod 777 install/tmp 
chmod 777 data

Configure mysql/mariadb:

mysql_secure_installation

Create database and user:

mysql -u root -p

then:

CREATE DATABASE `flightairmap`; 
GRANT ALL ON `flightairmap`.* TO 'youruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpass';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now use your browser to go to http://127.0.0.1/install/ (or ip of your server)

Before adding it to cron, it's a good idea to run scripts/update_db.php in a shell.
