Unibox is not maintained anymore

It was created for a University course about Web Programming. The purpose of this webapp was to practice with web technologies such as PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS and the principles of software engineering (MVC pattern).

Unibox is a web application where users can upload and download resources.

Requirements

Unibox runs on server that supports :

• Apache
• mysql
• php

It hasn't been tested on others HTTP server.

Installation steps

If you want to install Unibox follow these steps :

1. Run permissionScript.sh with administrative priviledges. It will sets all the required permissions:

• Configuration Files : rwx for others
• Smarty_dir/templates_c : rwx for others
• Smarty_dir/cache : rwx for others
• Resources : rwx for others

5. Follow the guided installation.
6. Create an empty database on your DBMS ('mysql') and name it as you want (ie: unibox).
7. Put all the source code in a folder accessible from your HTTP server.
8. Open the browser and go to the path where you stored the source code (ie: docmuentRoot/path/to/unibox)

Now the installation is complete. Refresh the page and start using Unibox !

If something goes wrong you should check if you have write permission for all users on configurationFiles directory. If you're on a Unix PC and you're trying to install Unibox in your localhost, you should try to run the permissionScript.sh with administrative priviledges.

Reinstallation

You can repeat the installation procedure by deleting Configuration Files/databaseConfig.php file and dropping the old database.
