  2. PHP 7
  3. MySQL/MariaDB or similar database system with availability for 1 database
  4. libreoffice-headless is required for generating PDFs
  • sudo apt-get install libreoffice-headless (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)
  • sudo yum install libreoffice-headless (Red Hat/Centos/Fedora)
  1. Mod Rewrite if you wish to have tidier URLs

  1. Create a folder outside the web root for docuuments (not accessible externally)
  • Ensure the folder is owned by www-root
    • chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/documents
  • Ensure the folder is writeable
    • chmod -R 0644 /path/to/documents
  1. Create a temporary directory outside the web root
