Downloading PHP Shell
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
You can always get the latest version of PHP Shell from my homepage:
|
|
|
|
http://mgeisler.net/php-shell/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Installation is easy: first unpack the tarball or zipfile downloaded from the
|
|
above website into your webserver. This will create a subdirectory called
|
|
phpweather-2.1 for PHP Shell version 2.1.
|
|
|
|
Try loading the file ``phpshell.php`` in your browser and check that you are
|
|
served a page that asks you to authenticate yourself with a username and a
|
|
password. If you do not see such a page, then please check that you have
|
|
entered the URL correctly and that PHP is working on your server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
All configuration happens in the ``config.php`` file. This is an ini-file
|
|
dispite its name. Ini-files consist of a number of sections, each containing
|
|
a number of 'key = "value"' pairs. PHP Shell has tree sections: '[users]' for
|
|
configuring usernames and passwords, '[aliases]' for configuring shell
|
|
aliases, and '[settings]' for general settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting Usernames and Passwords
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As a security precaution PHP Shell has no default username and password
|
|
(people often forget to change them...). To add the user "alice" with
|
|
password "secret" you simply add
|
|
|
|
[users]
|
|
alice = "secret"
|
|
|
|
to the file. Note that you can add as many users as you want by simply adding
|
|
more lines like this.
|
|
|
|
This system works, but there is a better way --- a way so that the password
|
|
does not appear in clear text in the file. For that you use the supplied
|
|
script ``pwhash.php`` to generate a hashed password. Please see the
|
|
instructions given in ``pwhash.php``.
|
|
|
|
With the above example the result could look like
|
|
|
|
[users]
|
|
alice = "md5:7ea3b59e:eb271c4459253eaa163fcac2a119f225"
|
|
|
|
You will not get exactly the same line if you try it out, this is a feature of
|
|
the system which means that both "alice" and "bob" could have "secret" as
|
|
their password, and you would not be able to tell from just looking at
|
|
``config.php``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Shell Aliases
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
As in a normal shell, PHP Shell supports alias expansion, albeit in a simple
|
|
form. Aliases are defined by 'key = "value"' pairs in the '[aliases]'
|
|
section. The "key" will be matched against the first token of the command
|
|
line and substituted with the "value" given.
|
|
|
|
Two convenient aliases are already defined:
|
|
|
|
[aliases]
|
|
ls = "ls -CvhF"
|
|
ll = "ls -lvhF"
|
|
|
|
|
|
General Settings
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
PHP has just one other setting right now --- the home directory. Change this
|
|
in the '[settings]' section.
