Install LAMP Server<\/h2>\n
Before starting, you will need to install LAMP server on your system. First, install Apache and MariaDB using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server -y<\/p>\n
Next, start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql<\/p>\nBy default, PHP5 is not available in Ubuntu 16.04 default repository. So you will need to add Ondrej PPA to your system. You can do this by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php -y<\/p>\nNext, update the system and install PHP5.6 with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install php5.6 libapache2-mod-php5.6 php5.6-mysql php5.6-xml php5.6-curl php5.6-gd php5.6-mbstring -y<\/p>\nConfigure Database<\/h2>\n
By default, MariaDB is not secured, you can secure it by running the mysql_secure_installation script:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/p>\n
This script will set a root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove the test database and access to secure MariaDB as shown below:<\/p>\n
Set root password? [Y\/n] y \nRemove anonymous users? [Y\/n] y \nDisallow root login remotely? [Y\/n] y \nRemove test database and access to it? [Y\/n] y \nReload privilege tables now? [Y\/n] y \n<\/pre>\n
Once the MariaDB is secured, log in to MariaDB shell with the following command:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
Enter your root password, then create a database and user for eSyndicat with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE esyndicat;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON esyndicatdb.* TO ‘esyndicat’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;<\/p>\nNext, flush the privileges:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/p>\n
Finally, exit from the MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]>exit<\/p>\n
Download and Install eSyndicat<\/h2>\n
You can download the latest version of the eSyndicat from their official website using the following command:<\/p>\n
wget http:\/\/www.esyndicat.com\/esyndicat-script.zip<\/p>\n
Once the download is completed, extract the downloaded file to the Apache root directory:<\/p>\n
unzip esyndicat-script.zip -d \/var\/www\/html\/esyndicat<\/p>\n
Next, give proper permissions to the esyndicat directory with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/esyndicat
sudo chmod -R 777 \/var\/www\/html\/esyndicat<\/p>\nNext, create an Apache virtual host directive for eSyndicat with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/esyndicat.conf<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/esyndicat ServerName example.com <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/esyndicat\/> \nOptions Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews \nAllowOverride All \nOrder allow,deny \nallow from all <\/Directory> ErrorLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/esyndicat-error_log CustomLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/esyndicat-access_log common \n<\/VirtualHost> \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, when you are finished. Then enable eSyndicat virtual host with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite esyndicat<\/p>\n
Finally, restart Apache service with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\n
