Tutorial: How to install Froxlor on EndeavourOS Latest

Froxlor is a free and open-source server management panel that allows you to manage your web hosting server. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to install Froxlor on EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites:

• A server running EndeavourOS Latest
• A non-root user with sudo access.

Step 1: Update the system

Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system is up to date. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2: Install the required packages

Next, we need to install some packages required for Froxlor to function:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb

Step 3: Install Froxlor

Method 1: Installing Froxlor using the AUR

Froxlor is available on the Arch User Repository (AUR), which can be installed using the yay package manager. If you don't have yay, you can install it using the following command:

sudo pacman -S yay

Once yay is installed, run the following command to install Froxlor:

yay -S froxlor

Method 2: Installing Froxlor from source

Alternatively, Froxlor can be installed from the source. First, we need to create a directory where we will download the Froxlor files:

sudo mkdir /var/www/froxlor

Next, we need to download the Froxlor source code:

sudo wget https://files.froxlor.org/releases/froxlor-latest.tar.gz -O /tmp/froxlor-latest.tar.gz

Extract the archive to the Froxlor directory:

sudo tar xf /tmp/froxlor-latest.tar.gz -C /var/www/froxlor --strip-components=1

Set the correct permissions on the Froxlor directory:

sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/froxlor

Step 4: Configure Froxlor

Next, we need to create a MySQL database and user for Froxlor:

sudo mysql -u root

CREATE DATABASE froxlor;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON froxlor.* TO 'froxlor'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Note: Replace "yourpassword" with a strong password.

Next, we need to configure Apache to serve the Froxlor files:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

Alias /froxlor "/var/www/froxlor"
<Directory "/var/www/froxlor">
    AllowOverride All
    Options FollowSymlinks
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 5: Access Froxlor

Open a web browser and go to http://your-server-ip/froxlor.

You should now see the Froxlor setup page. Follow the instructions to complete the setup process.
