Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, you need to make sure of the following:

sudo tar xzf qloapps-v1.4.0.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/

Rename the extracted folder to "qloapps" using the following command:

sudo mv /var/www/html/qloapps-v1.4.0 /var/www/html/qloapps

Step 3: Create a Database for QloApps

Now, you need to create a database for QloApps to store data. You can use the following commands to create a database, a user, and grant privileges to the user:

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE qloapps;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON qloapps.* TO 'qloappsuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'qloappspassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Step 4: Configure Apache for QloApps

Next, you need to configure Apache to serve QloApps. You can do this by creating a new virtual host for QloApps using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/qloapps.conf

Add the following lines to the file and save it:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/qloapps
    ServerName qloapps.local

    <Directory /var/www/html/qloapps/>
        Options FollowSymLinks

    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/qloapps_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/qloapps_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Finally, you need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd
