Using Raspberry Pi

Using a Raspberry Pi

(Thanks to giac0m0 for the writeup)

Check version of PHP

1. On the Raspberry Pi, check version of PHP

    php -v
   

1a. If PHP is not v7.0, remove PHP and install 7.0

    sudo apt-get remove php*

Install PHP v7.0 and plugins needed

2. Install Apache and PHP7.0 using instructions from site: https://www.stewright.me/2016/03/turn-raspberry-pi-3-php-7-powered-web-server/

3. Install PHP XML and mbstrings (missing from previous guide)

    sudo apt-get install php-xml php7.0-mbstring
   

4. Install GIT

   sudo apt-get install git
   

5. Create a phlex directory

   sudo mkdir /var/www/html/FlexTV/
   

6. Clone Flex TV

   sudo git clone https://github.com/d8ahazard/FlexTV.git /var/www/html/FlexTV
   

7. Change ownership of Flex TV folder to www-data

    sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/html/FlexTV/
   

8. Add writeable folders to /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

   Add this line to the file, near the guidance notes for open_basedir :

    open_basedir = /var/www/html/FlexTV/
   

9. Edit php.ini for Dynamic Extensions. Add lines:

    extension=curl.so
    extension=openssl.so
   

Restart web server

    sudo service apache2 restart
