Install Apache, PHP, and MariaDB<\/h2>\n
Let’s start with installing Apache and MariaDB server to your system by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server -y<\/p>\n
Install PHP along with required libraries by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-soap php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-intl php7.2-mysql php7.2-cli php7.2 php7.2-ldap php7.2-zip php7.2-curl unzip wget -y<\/p>\n
Once all the packages are installed, start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot time with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl enable mariadb<\/p>\nConfigure MariaDB<\/h2>\n
Next, you will need to secure MariaDB installation. You can secure it by running the mysql_secure_installation script:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/p>\n
Answer all the questions as below:<\/p>\n
Enter current password for root (enter for none): ENTER 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 \n<\/pre>\n
Once the MariaDB is secured, log in to MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
Enter your root password when prompt, then create a database for Sentrifugo:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE sentrifugodb;<\/p>\n
Next, create a user for Sentrifugo and grant privileges:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER ‘sentrifugo’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘howtoforge’;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON sentrifugodb.* TO ‘sentrifugo’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘howtoforge’ WITH GRANT OPTION;<\/p>\nNext, flush the privileges with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/p>\n
Finally, exit from the MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;<\/p>\n
Download and Install Sentrifugo<\/h2>\n
You can download the latest version of Sentrifugo from their official website with the following command:<\/p>\n
cd \/tmp
wget http:\/\/www.sentrifugo.com\/home\/downloadfile?file_name=Sentrifugo.zip -O Sentrifugo.zip<\/p>\nNext, unzip the downloaded file with the following command:<\/p>\n
unzip Sentrifugo.zip<\/p>\n
Next, copy the extracted directory to the Apache web root directory and provide proper permissions:<\/p>\n
sudo cp -r Sentrifugo_3.2 \/var\/www\/html\/sentrifugo
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/sentrifugo\/
sudo chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/html\/sentrifugo\/<\/p>\nEdit the Sentrifugo application.ini file:<\/p>\n
nano \/var\/www\/<\/span>html\/<\/span>sentrifugo\/application\/configs\/application.ini<\/p>\n
and change the line:<\/p>\n
phpSettings.error_reporting = E_All<\/pre>\n
to:<\/p>\n
phpSettings.error_reporting =\u00a0<\/span><\/span>E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT<\/pre>\nIn line 4 of the file.<\/p>\n
Next, create an Apache virtual host file for Sentrifugo with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/sentrifugo.conf<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/sentrifugo ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com \n <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/sentrifugo\/> Options +FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All Require all granted <\/Directory> \n ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/access.log combined \n \n<\/VirtualHost> \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file. Then, enable virtual host file with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite sentrifugo<\/p>\n
Next, enable Apache rewrite module and reload Apache service with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\nAccess Sentrifugo<\/h2>\n
