The first has been a ‘missing intl module’ error. In my several experiments with installing Webtrees, I’ve seen only two different server configuration errors reported on the setup wizard’s second screen. Installing ‘intl’ and preparing the data folder The first page of the setup wizard asks for the administrator’s language preference.Īfter selecting the desired language for the site, the setup wizard performs some checks on the server’s capabilities and reports back any issues that need to be addressed. I accomplished this alternatively by either connecting my main computer to the Internet through my smart phone’s Wi-Fi hotspot or by using the Tor browser to reroute my requests through several other servers before it returned to my home server.Ī successful installation shows the setup wizard: Visiting the site from outside of my home network, as most of my site’s visitors would, was the way to ensure correct configuration. Viewing the site from within the home network, using either or would have given the initial appearance of working, but ultimately would have configured the site incorrectly. The trick to configuring the webtrees site is that it must be done from outside of the home network.
Once I had unzipped and renamed the webtrees folder, I was ready to configure the site. I was content to leave as an HTML home page that links to my family tree, which resides at. Not having tested this option, I’m not exactly sure how well it would have worked. This might have had the effect of leading directly to my tree. Another option might have been to empty the contents of the webtrees folder directly into htdocs and erasing the index.html file there. By changing the name of the folder to grahamtree, I was able to customize the URL to. As is, the URL for my family tree would have been. I took the opportunity at this time to perform some URL customization.
WEBTREES SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
This unzipped the software files onto the server in a folder called webtrees. I found it much easier to do this directly from the /var/So for the current version as of this writing: root# cd /var/www/localhost/htdocs
WEBTREES SOFTWARE INSTALL
The package you receive is then simply unzipped to install the software. The software is downloadable from using the server’s wget command. The Webtrees software is not included in Gentoo’s portage tree, but installation is simple nonetheless. Here’s what I went through to get it running. Debugging the SELinux permission errors took some time, and got much easier once I learned how properly troubleshoot. Now that I have a server machine running Linux and a LAMP stack accessible via the internet, I’m ready to install the Webtrees software.
Installing ‘intl’ and preparing the data folder.So, for lower versions, such as 18.04, I just use the built-in PHP 7.2 instead.⬅️ Previous post: Getting online with LAMP and No-IP I prefer to use the most up-to-date software myself, but don’t want to add additional repos to my servers with minor exceptions.
For lower LTS versions, you will either need to install an older version of PHP or add a 3rd party repo to use 7.4. Ubuntu Server 20.04 includes PHP 7.4 by default. I’m using Ubuntu Server 20.04 for my build. Their instructions for getting webtrees installed are not the best, so I will be recording my version here. It has a slightly dated and slightly convoluted interface in my opinion and doesn’t fit the requirements fully, but is the closest yet. Webtrees is an open-source web-based family genealogy program. Well, I finally found something that for the moment fits the bill.
WEBTREES SOFTWARE FREE
I wanted one that was web-based, had the ability to see a flowchart-like view for a family tree, and preferably free and open-source. I had been loosely looking for sometime for a personal family tree program.
