How to Install RosarioSIS on NetBSD

RosarioSIS is a student information system that allows schools to manage students, teachers, courses, grades, and attendance. If you're interested in using it on your NetBSD system, this tutorial will guide you through the installation process.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

  • NetBSD operating system
  • Apache web server
  • PHP 7.0 or later
  • MySQL or MariaDB database

Step 1: Download RosarioSIS

The first step is to download the latest version of RosarioSIS from the official website at https://www.rosariosis.org/.

$ cd ~
$ curl -LOk https://sourceforge.net/projects/rosariosis/files/latest/download
$ tar -zxvf rosariosis-latest.tar.gz

Step 2: Configure Apache

Create a new virtual host configuration file for RosarioSIS.

$ sudo nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the end of the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/rosariosis
    ServerName rosariosis.example.com
    <Directory /var/www/rosariosis>
        Require all granted
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Step 3: Create Database

Create a new database for RosarioSIS and grant privileges to a user.

$ mysql -u root -p

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

Replace "rosariosis_db", "rosariosis_user", and "password" with your own values.

Step 4: Install RosarioSIS

Copy the extracted RosarioSIS files to the document root directory.

$ sudo mv rosariosis /var/www/

Navigate to the RosarioSIS directory and run the installation script.

$ cd /var/www/rosariosis
$ sudo chmod -R 777 cache reports temp
$ sudo chmod -R 755 *
$ sudo ./install.sh

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. When prompted for the database credentials, enter the values you created in Step 3.

Step 5: Access RosarioSIS

Once the installation is complete, you can access RosarioSIS by visiting the server's IP address or domain name in a web browser.
