Summary : Except for the one-click installation packages, you can also install the ZenTao runtime using source code package.

In addition to our one-click installation package, you can also deploy the ZenTao runtime environment when installing the source package.

1. Deploy PHP and MySQL runtime environment

There are many installation guides for PHP and MySQL, but you should pay attention to the following:
1.1 ZenTao requires modules like pdo, pdo_mysql, json, and filter, so make sure that PHP environment can load these modules.
1.2 Linux + Apache + PHP(5.3/5.4/5.5/5.6/7.0/7.1 + MySQL(5.5/5.6)/mariadb is recommended, followed by Nginx, while IIS+PHP is not recommended.

1.3 On Linux,  it is NOT recommended to compile and install PHP. You'd better install the PHP with a built-in Package Manager.

2. Download ZenTao source code

2.1 Download the latest source code (.zip file) from the ZenTao official website.

2.2 Unzip to get 'zentaoalm' directory. Copy to the directory corresponding to the webserver (see the configuration file of the webserver for details), such as 'www' or 'htdocs' of Apache.

2.3 Visit http:// IP:PORT/zentaoalm/www/index.php and it will automatically start the installation.

3. Installation Steps

 3.1 Welcome splash


 3.2 System checkup


 3.3 Database configuration


 3.4 Admin account


 3.5 Finish Installation

4. Notes

If you access http://ip:PORT/zentaopms/www/install.php in the Apache environment, the following error message pops out, you can delete the .htaccess file in the code and try again.

In the Linux:


[root@localhost zentaopms]# ls -la www/.htaccess 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 788 1月   4 13:46 www/.htaccess
[root@localhost zentaopms]# rm -rf www/.ztaccess
In the Windows:


5. Reuse your Apache and MySQL (Optional)

Try Zdoo (our team collaborative product)) and  Zsite (our CMS product).

Hi team,
Great job on the tool. I am trying to install this on a shared hosting. I have had following issues (Some of them I could also resolve)
1. First time page load goes into infinite loop with install.php calling install.php. Hence browser would not load the page with 'Too many redirects' error. To resolve this, I changed the install.php.tmp to install.php and the problem was resolved.
2. The installation stage loads without any theme [YET TO BE RESOLVED]
3. When you reach the DB details page, there is a weird thing happening:
(a) If I enter incorrect details for DB, this URL (/install.php?m=install&f=step3) loads with proper error.
(b) However, if I enter correct details, it almost instantly fails with Internal Error (500). Upon further investigation, I can see that the error in Network tab is "Failed to load response data: No resource with given identifier found".
One thing to note here is, since this is a shared hosting, the DB is not available locally but over the internet. What is bothering me is, the page load correctly even when I put in wrong creds - which means Zentao is able to communicate with my DB Server, just that it fails abruptly when it can connect successfully with the database. [YET TO BE RESOLVED]. Unfortunately, I could not find any obvious folder where logs may be stored to troubleshoot the 500 error.
Looking forward to your guidance.

You could delete the words "set global log_bin_trust_function_creators=1" and delete “SET global sql_mode = '' in the two files in installation package below: updatefunctions.sql zentao.sql

Hello,

I installed Zentao on my own server.

Installation was successful and I could login.

But after login no theme is working. What can I do to make my themes work?

I also recognized I can't click anything that's triggered via "j a v a s c r i p t :;". This important for changing themes and languages.

What am I missing? How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance and good work so far!
