Installation

For those of you comfortable with installing web applications, installing InvoicePlane should take 5 minutes or less.

  1. Download and extract the archive.
  2. Create an empty database on your web server.
  3. Upload the files to your web server, either into a subdirectory or into the public root of the web server.
  4. Make a copy of the ipconfig.php.example file and rename the copy to ipconfig.php
  5. Open the ipconfig.php file and add your URL in it like described in the file.
  6. Run the InvoicePlane installer from your web browser and follow his instructions: http://your-domain.com/index.php/setup

Once the installer finished, the installation is complete and you may log into InvoicePlane using the email address and password you have chosen during the installation.

Run InvoicePlane in a sub directory  

If you want to run InvoicePlane in a sub directory (e.g. http://yourdomain.com/invoices/) you have to modify the .htaccess file which is located in the root directory. You must add the line 

RewriteBase /sub-directory

where sub-directory is the directory you want to use. The content of the file should look like this: 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /sub-directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

After that, open your ipconfig.php file and add the sub directory to your URL like this: 

http://your-domain.com/sub-directory

Notice that there is no trailing slash.

Remove index.php from the URL  

Please notice that this step is entirely optional and does not affect the application in any way.

  1. Make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled on your web server.
  2. Open the file ipconfig.php
  3. Search for REMOVE_INDEXPHP=false in this file and replace it with REMOVE_INDEXPHP=true
  4. Rename the htaccess file to .htaccess
