How to Install Kleeja on NetBSD

Kleeja is a powerful file hosting script that allows users to upload and share files online. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Kleeja on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Linux server running NetBSD
  • Root access to the server
  • PHP 5.6 or later installed
  • MySQL or MariaDB installed

Step 1: Download Kleeja

First, download the latest version of Kleeja from the official website. You can find the download link here.

$ wget https://github.com/kleeja-official/kleeja/releases/download/2.5.2/Kleeja-2.5.2.zip

Step 2: Install Apache

Next, install the Apache web server.

$ pkgin update
$ pkgin install apache

Step 3: Install PHP

Kleeja is written in PHP, so you need to install PHP as well.

$ pkgin install php

Step 4: Install MySQL/MariaDB

Kleeja uses a MySQL or MariaDB database to store file information. You can install either of them.

# MySQL
$ pkgin install mysql-server

# MariaDB
$ pkgin install mariadb-server

Step 5: Configure MySQL/MariaDB

After installing MySQL/MariaDB, you need to configure it.

$ mysql_install_db
$ /usr/pkg/bin/mysqld_safe &
$ mysql_secure_installation

Step 6: Create a Database

Create a new database for Kleeja.

$ mysql -uroot -p
> CREATE DATABASE kleeja_db;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kleeja_db.* TO 'kleeja_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT;

Step 7: Extract Kleeja

Extract Kleeja to Apache's document root directory.

$ unzip Kleeja-2.5.2.zip -d /usr/pkg/apache/htdocs/

Step 8: Configure Kleeja

Copy the config.default.php file to config.php and edit it.

$ cd /usr/pkg/apache/htdocs/kleeja/
$ cp includes/config.default.php includes/config.php
$ vi includes/config.php

Update the following settings:

  • $SQL_USER - The username that you created earlier
  • $SQL_PASS - The password that you created earlier
  • $SQL_DB - The name of the database that you created earlier
  • $SQL_HOST - The hostname of the MySQL/MariaDB server (usually localhost)
  • $script_crypt_key - A random string used for encryption

Step 9: Set Permissions

Set the necessary permissions on the files and directories.

$ cd /usr/pkg/apache/htdocs/kleeja/
$ chmod -R 777 cache/ uploaded/ includes/mysqli.php includes/config.php

Step 10: Configure Apache

Create a new virtual host for Kleeja.

$ vi /usr/pkg/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot "/usr/pkg/apache/htdocs/kleeja/"
    <Directory "/usr/pkg/apache/htdocs/kleeja/">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Step 11: Restart Apache

Restart Apache to apply the changes.

$ /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/apache restart

Step 12: Access Kleeja

You can now access Kleeja by navigating to your server's IP address or domain name in a web browser. For example: http://example.com/.
