How to Install Kleeja on MXLinux Latest?

Kleeja is a free and open-source file hosting script that allows you to create your own file-sharing website. It is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database to store files and user information. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kleeja on MXLinux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start installing Kleeja, you need to make sure that your server meets the following requirements:

  • A web server such as Apache, Nginx, or LiteSpeed
  • PHP version 5.6 or higher
  • MySQL or MariaDB database
  • PHP Zlib extension
  • PHP Exif extension
  • PHP GD extension
  • PHP PDO extension

Step 1: Download Kleeja

First, you need to download the latest version of Kleeja from their official website. You can download it using the following command:

wget https://github.com/kleeja-official/kleeja/releases/download/v2.4.0/kleeja-2.4.0.zip

Step 2: Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL

If you don't have Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed on your MXLinux server, you can install them using the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php php-mysql php-gd php-zip php-exif php-pdo

Step 3: Extract and Move Kleeja

Once you have downloaded the Kleeja archive, you need to extract it using the following command:

unzip kleeja-2.4.0.zip

After extracting the archive, you need to move the Kleeja directory to the Apache root directory (/var/www/html/) using the following command:

sudo mv kleeja /var/www/html/

Step 4: Configure MySQL

Next, you need to create a new MySQL database for Kleeja. You can create it using the following command:

mysql -u root -p

After that, you need to create a new MySQL user and grant all privileges to the Kleeja database using the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE kleeja;
CREATE USER 'kleeja_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kleeja.* TO 'kleeja_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Replace password with a strong password.

Step 5: Configure Kleeja

Next, you need to configure the Kleeja installation by editing the config.php file located in the Kleeja directory:

sudo nano /var/www/html/kleeja/config.php

In this file, you need to update the following variables:

  • $dbuser - Set this to the MySQL username you created earlier (kleeja_user).
  • $dbpass - Set this to the MySQL user password you created earlier.
  • $dbname - Set this to the MySQL database name you created earlier (kleeja).
  • $dbprefix - You can set this to any prefix you want.

Step 6: Set Permissions

Next, you need to set the correct permissions for the Kleeja directories and files using the following commands:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/kleeja
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/kleeja/uploads
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/kleeja/cache

Step 7: Access the Kleeja Installation Wizard

Finally, open a web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name followed by the Kleeja directory (http://your_server_ip_or_domain/kleeja). You should see the Kleeja installation wizard.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kleeja on MXLinux Latest. You can now start using Kleeja to create your own file-sharing website.
