ProcessMaker is a workflow and business process management software suite. It allows small to medium-sized organizations to automate document intensive, approval-based processes across various systems including finance, HR, and operations. It is an entirely Web-based, AJAX-enabled application that is built on the popular open source LAMP stack.
ProcessMaker OSS includes tools to design forms, create documents, assign roles and users, create routing rules, and is designed with a full service-orientated architecture (SOA) and Web Services interface allowing the software to directly connect with popular business intelligence, content management, and enterprise resource planning systems.
Installation
1. Download ProcessMaker 1.0-999 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/processmaker/ and install it
2. Rename the file "/etc/httpd/conf.d/pmos.conf.rpm" as "/etc/httpd/conf.d/pmos.conf"
3. Ensure that the virtual server "your_processmaker_server" defined in the file "/etc/httpd/conf.d/pmos.conf" coincides with your system configuration. The name of this virtual server is only an example, you can change this name according the domain defined in your network.
4. If you don't have the name of the virtual server defined in step 3, you should add this server to your host. To do this, you need to edit the file /etc/hosts. In this file you should add the following line: your_ip_address your_processmaker_server
5. Finally restart the htppd service
