How to Install Froxlor on OpenBSD
In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install Froxlor on your OpenBSD server. Froxlor is a free and open-source server management panel that allows you to manage web hosting services. It includes features like domain management, DNS management, FTP accounts, email accounts, and more.
Prerequisites
- A server running OpenBSD
- Root access to the server
- Basic knowledge of the OpenBSD command line
Installation Steps
First, you need to install the required packages using OpenBSD's package management system. To do this, run the following command:
pkg_add nginx php php-fpm php-curl php-mbstring php-json php-intl mysql-serverAfter installing the necessary packages, you need to configure the MySQL server. To do this, run the following commands:
cd /var/www/htdocs/ mysql_install_db rcctl start mysqld mysqladmin -u root password [YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD]Next, you need to download Froxlor from the official website. You can use wget to download the latest version of Froxlor:
wget -O froxlor.tar.gz https://files.froxlor.org/releases/froxlor-latest.tar.gzOnce the download is complete, extract the package:
tar xvf froxlor.tar.gzMove the extracted files to the webroot directory:
mv froxlor /var/www/htdocs/Now, you need to create a new virtual host for Froxlor using Nginx. Create a new file in the following directory:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/Name this file "froxlor" using the command:
vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/froxlorAdd the following configuration to the file:
server { listen 80; index index.php; server_name [YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME]; root /var/www/htdocs/froxlor; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /froxlor/index.php?$args; } location ~ \.php$ { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_index index.php; } }Save and close the file. Next, create a symbolic link to the virtual host file:
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/froxlor /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/froxlorRestart the nginx and php-fpm services:
rcctl restart nginxrcctl restart php_fpmNow, you need to configure Froxlor by running the installation script:
/var/www/htdocs/froxlor/scripts/froxlor_master_cronjob.phpFollow the on-screen instructions to set up your Froxlor installation. During the installation, you will be prompted to enter your MySQL credentials that you created earlier.
Once the installation is complete, navigate to your domain name in a web browser. You should see the Froxlor login screen.
Log in using the default username and password, which are "admin" and "admin".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Froxlor on your OpenBSD server. You can now begin using Froxlor to manage your web hosting services.
