Getting Started<\/h2>\n
Before starting, you will need to update your system with the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update -yOnce your system is updated, restart the system to apply the changes.<\/p>\n
Install LAMP Server<\/h2>\n
First, install Apache web server, MariaDB server, PHP and other PHP modules by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php7.2 php7.2-mysql php7.2-curl php7.2-xml php7.2-intl php7.2-cli php7.2-ldap php7.2-zip php7.2-readline php7.2-imap php7.2-json php7.2-cgi libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-gd php7.2-mbstring php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-soap php7.2-tidy php7.2-recode php7.2-sqlite3 php7.2-intl unzip wget -y<\/code><\/pre>\nOnce all the packages are installed, open php.ini file and make some changes:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/php\/7.2\/apache2\/php.ini<\/code><\/pre>\nMake the following changes:<\/p>\n
memory_limit = 256M \nupload_max_filesize = 150M \nmax_execution_time = 360 \ndate.timezone = Asia\/Kolakata \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file.<\/p>\n
Configure MariaDB<\/h2>\n
By default, MariaDB is not secured. So you will need to secure it first. You can secure it by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/code><\/pre>\nAnswer 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<\/code><\/pre>\nProvide your root password. Then, create a database and user for Elxis:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE elxis;Next, grant all privileges to the Elxis with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON elxis.* TO 'elxis'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, flush the privileges and exit from the MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;Install Elxis<\/h2>\n
First, download the latest version of Elxis from their official website’s download page.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.elxis.org\/download.html<\/a><\/p>\n
And store it on your server, e.g. in \/tmp. Once the download is completed, unzip the downloaded file to the Apache root directory with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo unzip elxis_4.6_phaethon_rev1958.zip -d \/var\/www\/html\/elxis<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, give proper permissions to the elxis directory:<\/p>\n
chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/elxisNext, create an Apache virtual host file for Elxis:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/elxis.conf<\/code><\/pre>\nAdd the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/elxis ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com \n <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/elxis\/> 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 Apache virtual host and rewrite module with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite elxisFinally, restart Apache service with the folowing command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/code><\/pre>\nAccess Elxis<\/h2>\n
