Step 1 - Install Dependencies

Step 3 - Configure Nginx

Jirafeau requires a web server to run. To configure Nginx, create a new configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/jirafeau.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

server {
 
    listen 80;

    server_name YOUR_SERVER_NAME;

    root /path/to/Jirafeau;

    index index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {

        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.socket;
    }
}

Replace YOUR_SERVER_NAME with your server's domain name or IP address, and set the correct path to your Jirafeau installation. Save and close the file.

To enable the configuration, create a symlink from the sites-available directory to the sites-enabled directory:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/jirafeau.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Next, restart the Nginx server to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart nginx

Step 4 - Configure PHP

user = nginx
group = nginx
listen = /run/php-fpm.socket

Save and close the file.

Next, restart the PHP-FPM service to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

Step 5 - Complete the Setup

Open a web browser and navigate to your server's domain name or IP address. You should see the Jirafeau installation screen.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. You will be prompted to set up an administrator account and configure your database settings.
