PHP Installer

In February 2010, TheHijacker created this PHP application for easy installations of tools on your e-TRAYz. Imagine installing a Usenet, a Torrent or even an eMule client with a few simple mouseclicks. Yes, it's as easy as that! It's like an IPKG manager, just that it's much easier to use for those who didn't grow up with Linux: after installation, the tools will work out of the box since they have been customized to fully work on the e-TRAYz.

Within only a few weeks the PHP Installer evolved into a must-have for an e-TRAYz user. I recommend to install it once you have set up your e-TRAYz for the first time. If you plan to install a lot of applications and you're worried about having to re-setup all applications' settings again after a fresh e-TRAYz setup, there's nothing to worry about: the PHP Installer even helps you to backup the configuration files of your installed applications. Now how cool is that?

The interface is quite self-explanatory. Grouped into categories you can find the available applications on the left after clicking on the SHOW/HIDE link at the top. All packages remain on an online repository from where they will be downloaded and installed. TheHijacker is working on the PHP Installer almost every day to add more useful tools or to keep packages up to date, so if you found this application useful, consider buying him a beer or two for his great contribution to the community.

Installation

Download the zip file and unpack to whatever folder you made in WWW folder (ex. /installer). Then open that page via your favourite browser (http://etrayzip:8000/installer/). You need to disable Web Security in eTrayz WebGUI: Settings->System->Web Security since it doesn't like calling shell commands from PHP.
