Setup using mod_fcgi on apache

Your environment

• you are logged in as the user that runs the php (e.g. via sudo su -s /bin/bash ffsync)
  • the php-user is not your web-server user (e.g. apache, www-data)
• ffsync is a regular user, not allowed to chown on files to other users
• git is installed
• mod-fcgi is loaded (e.g. via a2enmod fcgi)

Installation

1. especially in a shared-hosting environment, do this: umask 0007 to be sure not to create world readable files
2. go to your serving directory below DocumentRoot
3. git clone -b master https://github.com/balu-/FSyncMS.git .
4. write a .htaccess for our ffsync directory see the example below.
5. go to https://ffs.example.com/ffsync/ and follow setup Sync should be ready now on the server side, now proceed configuring your client.

sample .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://ffs.example.com/ffsync/index.php/$1
