Sentrifugo has got a handful of features which you can read more about here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a pre-requisite, Sentrifugo requires a LEMP<\/a>\/LAMP<\/a> Stack. Therefore, before you can proceed with this guide, ensure that LEMP Stack in installed, at least in this guide since we are going to run Sentrifugo with Nginx web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding PHP, ensure that the MySQL PDO as well as the GD libraries are installed. You can verify this as shown below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the modules listed above are not available, install them as shown below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a database that can be used to store Sentrifugo application data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, you need to create a database user account for exclusively management of Sentrifugo. Be sure to grant this user all privileges on the Sentrifugo database;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flush the database privileges to reload the database grant tables and exit the database;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your server has met the above per-requisites, go ahead and download the Sentrifugo application from Sentrifugo download page<\/a> to your web root directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After downloading it, unzip it to your web root directory as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will extract Sentrifugo application to Sentrifugo_3.2<\/strong>. Move this directory to sentrifugo<\/strong> and set the proper permissions for the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you have installed Sentrifugo and set the proper permissions, create Nginx server block for Sentrifugo application as shown below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enable Sentrifugo server block and restart Nginx<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you can restart Nginx, verify that the configuration has no syntax errors;<\/p>\n\n\n\n If all is well, go ahead and restart Nginx<\/p>\n\n\n\n Configure PHP FPM to set the correct timezone. Edit the file Once you are done with the configuration above, it is time to configure Sentrifugo. Most of the next configurations will be done from the web interface. Therefore, navigate to the browser and enter the IP\/hostname address of your server in order to access Sentrifugo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since all the per-requisites are met, click Next<\/strong> to configure Sentrifugo database. Be sure to enter the database connection details set above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click Confirm<\/strong> to proceed and then confirm that you want to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, you need to configure Sentrifugo Applications settings and an email ID for authenticating to Mail Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Configure Mail Server settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Configuration final checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click finish to finalize on the configurations. This will take you to a page where you are given the link to access the application and the login credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sentrifugo has been successfully installed. If you login to your email account, you will see an email confirming the successful installation. Now, click on the link to access the Sentrifugo web login user interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Login with the credentials shown on the Finish<\/strong> configuration page. Once you login for the first time, you are welcomed by Sentrifugo default dashboard as shown below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n The default dashboard introduces you to a configuration wizard where you can enable modules essential to your human resource processes, configure the standards used in your organization, provide your organization information, configure business unit and departments and configure service request settings used in your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, feel free to configure this amazing HRMS tool as it best suits you.
