First you need to make sure you have Ubuntu 13.04 LAMP server installed .Now you need to follow these steps.

Preparing environment

Open the terminal and run the following command

sudo apt-get install php5-common php-pear php5-mysql php5-ldap php5-gmp

Now you need to download phpipam from here or using the following command

$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpipam/files/phpipam-0.8.tar

Extract this .tar file using the following command

tar -xvf phpipam-0.8.tar

Move phpipam directory to apache root directory

#mv phpipam/ /var/www/

Setting phpipam configuration

Edit config.php and select MySQL user/pass you wish to use for phpipam and set rewriteBase to /phpipam/,and set your database details (select user/pass you wish to have for phpipam and database name – you can also leave it as it is):

#vi config.php

$db[‘host'] = “localhost”;
$db[‘user'] = “phpipam”;
$db[‘pass'] = “phpipamadmin”;
$db[‘name'] = “phpipam”;

also set rewrite base in config.php (If you have it under root directory of your webserver than you can skip it)

define(‘BASE’, “/phpipam/”);

Save and exit the file

and also .htaccess file in /var/www/phpipam directory you need to change

RewriteBase /

to

RewriteBase /phpipam/

Save and exit the file

Mod rewrite settings

Make sure apache supports mod_rewrite for web server, if it does not you will get errors /install/ not found (http 404) and similar. This means that either apache is not set to use .htaccess rewrites, or that you did not specify the rewritebase in step2 correctly.

Search for Directory directive in default apache config and add/change it to

#vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Add the following lines

<Directory /var/www/phpipam>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

save and exit the file

Now you need to enable rewrite module using the following command

sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo service apache2 restart
