uCloud is written in PHP7.2 and uses a MySQL5 database. uCloud is a "Web Application" that must be installed on a Web Server.

You must install uCloud on a web host that supports PHP7.0, MySQL5 and Apache or Nginx.

You may also install uCloud on your personal computer by using one of the many options (i.e google WAMPserver or XAMPP), this is not covered in this document.

The full system requirements can be found below.

• PHP 7.2+
• MySQL 5+ with 1 empty database
• PHP PDO MySQL Extension
• PHP GD Extension (normally enabled as standard)
• Apache with Rewrite Module or Nginx
• A modern Web Browser that supports HTML5/Javascript

Installation Wizard

We've built an installation wizard into the script to make it really easily to get started. 

1. Download the zip file from CodeCanyon.
2. Extract the contents into a folder on your computer.
3. Using a FTP client (such as FileZilla), upload the extracted contents to your web host. Note: You can install uCloud as the main site, in a sub-folder on your existing web hosting or setup a new subdomain.
4. While it's uploading you can create the database. Login via your web host control panel (such as cPanel) and create an empty database.
5. Setup a new MySQL user and ensure you assign it to your new database with all privileges. Note your new MySQL username, database and password for later.
6. Once the FTP upload has completed, via your web browser go to: 

7. Follow the steps shown in the install wizard. Enter your MySQL details when prompted and the database will be automatically installed.
8. Setup the cron tasks, links provided within the installer, or here - https://support.mfscripts.com/public/kb_view/26/ every 5 minutes (more info below in the CRON section).
9. Done - Enjoy!

If you have any issues with the installation, please see the troubleshooting section of this document.

File & Folder Permissions

During the uCloud install 1 file and 4 folders will need write permissions. Ensure the following have CHMOD 755 (or 777 depending on what your web host allows)

• /_config.inc.php
• /files/
• /plugins/
• /logs/
• /cache/

The cron tasks enable uCloud to send emails, tidy data (and other tasks) in the background. Please ensure these are setup as they are required by the script.

There are a number of ways to set these up. The best method is to use a Linux Cron style setup on the server itself. This will be the most reliable method. Although you can use one of the many free web cron services, these often only work once every 10-15 minutes, meaning that crons will take longer between runs.

Linux Crons

1. Type crontab -e in your linux command line.
2. Type in the following:

0 0 * * * php /path/to/your/install/app/tasks/auto_prune.cron.php >> /dev/null 2>&1

0 0 * * * php /path/to/your/install/app/tasks/create_internal_notifications.cron.php >> /dev/null 2>&1

0 * * * * php /path/to/your/install/app/tasks/delete_redundant_files.cron.php >> /dev/null 2>&1

0 0 * * * php /path/to/your/install/app/tasks/downgrade_accounts.cron.php >> /dev/null 2>&1

*/5 * * * * php /path/to/your/install/app/tasks/process_file_queue.cron.php >> /dev/null 2>&1

0 1 * * * php /path/to/your/install/app/tasks/create_email_notifications.cron.php >> /dev/null 2>&1

3. Save
4. crontab -l should now list the cron process

If you do not have access to the command line you might have access to the web hosting control panel that should allow this. Otherwise talk with your webhost.

Upgrading is fairly straight forward. Use the following guide to upgrade your existing install to a new release.

IMPORTANT: If you're upgrading from prior 2.x, please see the "Upgrade from v1.x" guidance on the /install page.

1. Download the latest version of the uCloud zip file
2. Backup your MySQL database, any /files/ and the _config.inc.php file.
3. Backup any custom code or changes you have made (these may be overwritten).
4. Unzip the newly downloaded zip file onto your local computer.
5. Upload these folders & contents to your install - /app, /plugins & /themes.
6. Within your hosting control panel, load phpMyAdmin and select your new database. In the right-hand section click on 'import'. Attach the the relevant sql patches from the directory `/install/resources/upgrade_sql_statements/` and submit the form. Choose all the patches between your current script version number and the latest, ensuring you do them in version number order. If there are none, you can ignore this step.
7. Purge the application cache - you can do this via the script admin area, in site configuration.
8. Done - Enjoy the upgrade!

The website settings can be found via the admin area. To access:

1. Login via the /admin url using your site admin credentials.
2. On the top menu hover over 'Configuration', then click on 'Site Settings'.
3. You'll see a screen similar to the following:

4. All the settings are categoried on the left-hand side. By clicking on any of these it will filter the view on the main part of the page.
5. To edit, click 'edit' on any of the values.
6. Any changes are immediately reflected on the site.

uCloud supports any number of languages. All the text content is routed through the translations module and can be translated.

Add New Language

1. Login to the admin area.
2. Via the Configuration menu, click Translations.
3. Click the 'Add Language' button.
4. Set the language name, Text Direction (only LTR) supported for now and the flag.
5. Once added click on 'manage translations' and you'll see each text entry that you can edit.
6. You can also export & import translations on the same screen if you'd prefer to edit them offline.
7. To set as the main site language click the 'Default' checkbox on the 'Manage Languages' screen.

Note: You may need to logout and back in to see the new language take affect.

Translate Text Content

1. Load the 'languages' page within the admin area.

2. Click 'manage translations' and search for the text you'd like to translation.
3. Once you've found it, click 'edit'.
4. Click 'update' once you're done. The translation will be immediately available on your site.

You can create your own themes within uCloud so future updates to the theme part of the script don't overwrite any custom changes.

1) Create a new directory named your theme in /themes/. Lowercase alphanumeric and underscores only. i.e.

/themes/yourtheme/

2) Copy the contents of /themes/cloudable/ into /themes/yourtheme/

3) In /themes/yourtheme/_theme_config.inc.php replace the parameters:

$themeConfig['theme_name'] = 'uCloud Theme'; // the name of the theme
$themeConfig['folder_name'] = 'cloudable'; // the folder name you just created
$themeConfig['theme_description'] = 'uCloud Main Theme'; // theme description shown in the admin area
$themeConfig['author_name'] = 'uCloud'; // your name

4) Rename /themes/yourtheme/themeCloudable.class.php to /themes/yourtheme/themeNewtheme.class.php, ensuring you make the first letter of the theme name uppercase and the rest lowercase.

5) Open /themes/yourtheme/themeNewtheme.class.php and change line 3 from:

class themecloudable extends Theme

to

class themenewtheme extends Theme

6) You should now be able to enable the theme via your script admin area. The admin area thumbnail can be found in:

/themes/yourtheme/thumb_preview.png

Your server configuration can have a significant impact on the performance of uCloud. Below are some of the server settings we'd recommend using. It assumes you have at least a VPS server with root access and understand what you're doing!

Apache

- Enable XSendFile to take load away from PHP - https://support.mfscripts.com/public/kb_view/1/

Nginx (recommended over Apache)

- Enable X-Accel-Redirect to take load away from PHP - https://support.mfscripts.com/public/kb_view/2/

- Amend /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

http { 
    #... 
    fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
    #... 
}

Restart Nginx after any changes.

PHP

- Amend the following values in your global php.ini file:

memory_limit = 512M
upload_max_filesize = 500M
post_max_size = 500M
max_execution_time = 180
max_input_time = 180

Restart your webserver to apply the changes.

PHP-FPM (if using Nginx)

- Amend /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

request_terminate_timeout = 300
pm.max_children = 50

Source for max_children - http://myshell.co.uk/blog/2012/07/adjusting-child-processes-for-php-fpm-nginx/

PHP Fast CGI

- If you're using FastCGI with PHP/Apache ensure you allow for any timeouts on large downloads, by default they will close connections after 5 minutes so you may get partially completed downloads. In your Apache config file add the following:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
FcgidBusyTimeout 43200
</IfModule>

If you're using WHM/cPanel you can add this to /usr/local/apache/conf/includes/post_virtualhost_global.conf

Save and restart Apache.

MySQL

1) Enable query cache.

Edit my.cnf file (sometimes in /etc/mysql/my.cnf)

nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Add or uncomment the following lines:

query_cache_size = 268435456
query_cache_type = 1
query_cache_limit = 1048576

Restart MySQL. (this command will be different depending on your OS)

service mysql restart

2) Increase max connections in MySQL. In your my.cnf file, add or amend the following:

max_connections = 600

Save and restart MySQL. You may need to adjust this value depending on your traffic levels and server resources available.

Problem

After installing the script none of the html links are working and neither are the generated file download urls. 

Fix (Apache)

This is generally one of the following issues: 

• ModRewrite hasn't been enabled within Apache. Contact your host to have it enabled.
• You haven't uploaded the .htaccess included in the root of the script download. Sometimes certain operating systems don't show files starting with a dot. Ensure it's appearing in the root of your installation. Anti Virus software has also been known to hide the .htaccess so ensure this is temporarily disabled.
• You've installed the script in a sub-folder. If this is the case you'll need to amend the .htaccess file to include your sub-folder path. In .htaccess find:

RewriteBase /

Replace with: 

RewriteBase /yoursubfolder/

• If the .htaccess file has been uploaded, Apache may be set to ignore these files. In your Apache config file (sometimes called apache2.conf) set "AllowOverride All" similar to this:

<Directory /var/www/>
	AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Fix (Nginx)

This is generally one of the following issues: 

• The Nginx rewrite rules haven't been added to your Nginx site config file. See the "___NGINX_RULES.txt" file in the root of the script download for the correct Nginx rules.
• The path within your Nginx rules is incorrect. Ensure the root path points at your site root. Example:

root /usr/share/nginx/html;

• You have not restarted Nginx after making the above changes. Restart via SSH. Example: (this will change depending on your Linux distro)

sudo service nginx restart

UPDATE users SET password = MD5('NEW_PASSWORD') WHERE username='ADMIN_USER';

UPDATE users SET password = MD5('myp455w0rd') WHERE username='admin';
