How to Install Kleeja on OpenBSD

Kleeja is a powerful and easy-to-use file upload and download manager that is designed for websites. In this tutorial, we will teach you how to install Kleeja on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, we need to make sure that all the prerequisites for Kleeja are met. On OpenBSD, we will need:

  • Apache web server
  • MySQL database server
  • PHP 7

Step 1: Update and Upgrade the System

First, we need to update and upgrade the system by running the following command:

sudo pkg_add -Uu

Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

Next, we have to install the Apache web server. Run the command below:

sudo pkg_add apache-httpd

Step 3: Install MySQL

To install MySQL, run the following command:

sudo pkg_add mysql-server mysql-client

Step 4: Install PHP

To install PHP, run the command:

sudo pkg_add php

Step 5: Configure Apache Web Server and PHP

Now that we have all the prerequisites installed, we have to configure Apache web server and PHP. In OpenBSD, PHP is usually installed with the Apache module. We will enable this module and configure the web server to use PHP. 

sudo vi /etc/httpd.conf

Use your preferred text editor to open httpd.conf file and then add the following lines:

LoadModule php7_module        /usr/local/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
DirectoryIndex index.php

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Create MySQL Database for Kleeja

Next, we have to create a MySQL database for Kleeja. Run the following commands:

mysql -u root -p

After entering the MySQL shell, type the following command to create a new database:

create database kleeja;

Step 7: Download and Install Kleeja

To download the latest version of Kleeja, run the following command:

sudo wget https://github.com/kleeja-official/Kleeja/releases/download/v3.0.0/kleeja3.0.0.zip

After downloading, extract the archive file to /var/www/htdocs/ directory:

sudo unzip kleeja3.0.0.zip -d /var/www/htdocs/

Step 8: Configure Kleeja

We have to configure Kleeja before running it. Navigate to the Kleeja installation directory:

cd /var/www/htdocs/kleeja

Copy the config.default.php file and name it config.php:

sudo cp config.default.php config.php

Edit the config.php file, and replace the placeholder values with the specific database details:

$sitename   = 'yoursitename.com';
$url        = 'http://yoursitename.com';
$dbhost     = 'localhost';
$dbuser     = 'root';
$dbpass     = 'password';
$dbname     = 'kleeja';

Save and exit the file.

Step 9: Set Permissions for Kleeja

Set ownership of the directory to www, so that Apache can read and write files:

sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/kleeja

Step 10: Access Kleeja

Finally, open your web browser and go to http://your-server-ip/kleeja/ URL. This will take you to the Kleeja installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kleeja on OpenBSD.
