Prerequisites¶
GLPI is a Web application that will need:
- a webserver;
- PHP;
- a database.
Web server¶
GLPI requires a web server that supports PHP, like:
Apache configuration¶
Here is a virtual host configuration example for Apache 2 web server.
Warning
The following configuration is only suitable for GLPI version 10.0.7 or later.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName glpi.localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/glpi/public
# If you want to place GLPI in a subfolder of your site (e.g. your virtual host is serving multiple applications),
# you can use an Alias directive. If you do this, the DocumentRoot directive MUST NOT target the GLPI directory itself.
# Alias "/glpi" "/var/www/glpi/public"
<Directory /var/www/glpi/public>
Require all granted
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect all requests to GLPI router, unless file exists.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Note
If you cannot change the Apache configuration (e.g. you are using a shared hosting), you can use a .htaccess file.
# /var/www/glpi/.htaccess
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php [QSA,L]
Nginx configuration¶
Here is a configuration example for Nginx web server using php-fpm.
Warning
The following configuration is only suitable for GLPI version 10.0.7 or later.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name glpi.localhost;
root /var/www/glpi/public;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ ^/index\.php$ {
# the following line needs to be adapted, as it changes depending on OS distributions and PHP versions
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.*)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
lighttpd configuration¶
Here is a virtual host configuration example for lighttpd web server.
Warning
The following configuration is only suitable for GLPI version 10.0.7 or later.
$HTTP["host"] =~ "glpi.localhost" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/glpi/public/"
url.rewrite-if-not-file = ( "" => "/index.php${url.path}${qsa}" )
}
IIS configuration¶
Here is a web.config configuration file example for Microsoft IIS.
The physical path of GLPI web site must point to the public directory of GLPI (e.g. D:\glpi\public), and the web.config file must be placed inside this directory.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite to GLPI" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Warning
The URL Rewrite module is required.
PHP¶
| GLPI Version | Minimum PHP | Maximum PHP |
|---|---|---|
| 9.5.X | 7.2 | 8.0 |
| 10.0.X | 7.4 | 8.2 |
Note
We recommend to use the newest supported PHP release for better performance.
Mandatory extensions¶
Following PHP extensions are required for the app to work properly:
dom,fileinfo,filter,libxml,json,simplexml,xmlreader,xmlwriter: these PHP extensions are enable by default and are used for various operations;curl: used for remote access to resources (inventory agent requests, marketplace, RSS feeds, …);gd: used for images handling;intl: used for internationalization;mysqli: used for database connection;session: used for sessions support;zlib: used for handling of compressed communication with inventory agents, installation of gzip packages from marketplace and PDF generation.
Optional extensions¶
Note
Even if those extensions are not mandatory, we advise you to install them anyways.
Following PHP extensions are required for some extra features of GLPI:
bz2,Phar,zip: enable support of most common packages formats in marketplace;exif: enhance security on images validation;ldap: enable usage of authentication through remote LDAP server;openssl: enable email sending using SSL/TLS;Zend OPcache: enhance PHP engine performances.
