In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Sonerezh on Ubuntu 18.04 server.

Requirements

  • A server running Ubuntu 18.04.
  • A non-root user with sudo privileges.

Install Apache, MariaDB and PHP

Sonerezh is a web-based application, so you will need to install Apache web server and MariaDB database server to your system. You can install them by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server -y

Next, you will need to add Ondrej PHP repository to your system. You can do this with the following command:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php -y

Next, update the repository and install PHP and all the required dependencies with the following command:

sudo apt-get install php7.2 php7.2-mysql php7.2-intl php7.2-cli php7.2-gd php7.2-mbstring php-pear php7.2-curl php7.2-mysqlnd php7.2-mcrypt libav-tools git -y

Once all the packages are installed, start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot time with the following command:

sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql

Configure MariaDB

By default, MariaDB installation is not secure, so you will need to secure it first. You can do this with the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Answer all the questions as shown below:

 Enter current password for root (enter for none):
 Set root password? [Y/n]: N
 Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]: Y
 Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n]: Y
 Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n]: Y
 Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]: Y

Once the MariaDB is secured, log in to MariaDB shell:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password when prompt, then create a database and user for Sonerezh:

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE sonerezhdb;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sonerezhdb.* TO ‘sonerezh’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;

Next, flush all privileges with the following command:

MariaDB [(none)]>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]>\q

Install Sonerezh

First, download the latest version of Sonerezh from Git repository with the following command:

cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone –branch master https://github.com/Sonerezh/sonerezh.git

Next, give proper permission to the Sonerezh directory with the following command:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/sonerezh
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/sonerezh

Next, create an Apache virtual host file for sonerezh with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/sonerezh.conf

Add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/sonerezh
ServerName example.com
<Directory /var/www/html/sonerezh/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/sonerezh-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/sonerezh-access_log common
</VirtualHost>

Save the file, then enable virtual host with the following command:

sudo a2ensite sonerezh
