"Offline" local only installation

Thayolan

Is there a way to install and setup ITFLOW without requiring a Public IP address\FQDN, im hoping to set this up as an internal use tool only

TIA

I believe you could edit the config.php file

$config_base_url = 'itflow.domain.com';

$config_https_only = FALSE;

I don't believe any configuration changes are needed on the ITFlow side. If you have an internal DNS server you can add an A record for the URL you created during install and point it to the internal IP of your ITFlow server. If you don't have a DNS server you can add an entry to the local HOSTS file on each PC with the ITFlow URL and internal IP address.

Or you can just disable https in config.php and browse the IP

i got it working by entering itflow.local as the FQDN during script install process, then editing the config.php file setting $config_https_only = FALSE;

simply brwosing to IP would not work, and changing the $config_baseurl = 'Fully_Qualified_Domain_Name'; did not seem to have any affect, i orignally tried entering an IP address as the domain during script install and it errored back with an invalid domain, i then made a fake domain (itflow.demo & itflow.fakedn.com) both would pass and the install would complete, but i could not access in the browser still, i then edited the config.php file changing to:

$config_base_url = 'IP ADDRESS';

$config_https_only = FALSE;

But again browsing to IP adress did not work, i then tried chaning the url to itflow.local and still nothing…

i ended up rebuilding the VM all over again from scratch, and during script install i set the domain to itflow.local which it accepted, then only changed the https_only setting in the config file, and now i can browse to itflow.local (note i also had to make sure the hostname of the VM was itflow)

but its up and running now as an internal only platform.

Thayolan Glad you got this working!

For things like this, it sounds like you're forgetting name resolution? The app can't do that for you via config.php as it'd be something you'd need to set on your client hosts file (or DNS for a zone you control).

As magix suggested, Apache also needs to be appropriately configured what hostnames to listen for. It's only done once as part of the install script.

To use the IP address you would also need to remove the reference to the hostname in the apache site config too
