How to Install Paste on Fedora Server Latest

Paste is an open-source PHP application that allows you to create and share online code snippets. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install Paste on a Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you must ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

A Fedora Server Latest instance with sudo privileges.
Apache webserver installed and configured.
PHP version 5.3.0 or later installed and configured.
MySQL database server installed and configured.

Installation

Update the system
```
sudo dnf update
```
Install required packages
```
sudo dnf install php-pdo php-mysqlnd
```

Download the Paste archive from the official website

sudo curl -L https://github.com/paste/PASTE/archive/master.zip --output paste.zip

Extract the downloaded archive
```
sudo unzip paste.zip -d /var/www/html/
```

Rename the extracted folder to paste

sudo mv /var/www/html/PASTE-master /var/www/html/paste

Create a MySQL database for Paste

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE paste;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON paste.* TO 'pasteuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace pasteuser and password with your desired database username and password.

Configure the Paste application

sudo cp /var/www/html/paste/inc/config.inc.php.sample /var/www/html/paste/inc/config.inc.php

sudo nano /var/www/html/paste/inc/config.inc.php

Inside the configuration file, modify the following lines:

$cfg['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['db_port'] = '';
$cfg['db_user'] = 'pasteuser';
$cfg['db_pass'] = 'password';
$cfg['db_name'] = 'paste';
$cfg['app_webroot'] = '/paste/';

Save and close the file.

Set permissions on the paste directory

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/paste

Restart the Apache webserver
```
sudo systemctl restart httpd
```

Accessing Paste

You can now access Paste on your Fedora Server Latest by navigating to the following URL:

http://your_server_ip_or_domain/paste/

You will be prompted to create a new account, and should then be able to start creating and sharing code snippets using the Paste application.
