Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

  • A server running OpenBSD
  • Root access to the server
  • Internet connection

Step 1: Install Required Packages

eZ Server Monitor requires some packages to be installed on your system. These packages include Apache, PHP, and some PHP dependencies. To install these packages, run the following command:

sudo pkg_add apache httpd php php-gd php-xml php-fpm php-pdo_mysql php-pdo_pgsql

Step 2: Download and Extract eZ Server Monitor

Next, download the latest version of eZ Server Monitor from the official website.

cd /tmp
sudo fetch http://www.ezservermonitor.com/files/ezservermonitor-latest.tar.gz

Extract the package with the following command:

Step 3: Set Permissions

Set the correct ownership and permissions on the extracted files.

sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/ezservermonitor
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/htdocs/ezservermonitor

Step 4: Configure Apache

To configure Apache, create a new VirtualHost file:

sudo vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.d/ezservermonitor.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot    "/var/www/htdocs/ezservermonitor/"
        ServerName      your_domain.com
        # Error logs
        ErrorLog        "/var/log/httpd-error.log"
        # Customizable logs
        CustomLog       "/var/log/httpd-access.log" combined
        <Directory "/var/www/htdocs/ezservermonitor/">
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file. Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo rcctl restart httpd

Step 5: Access eZ Server Monitor

You can now access eZ Server Monitor by going to http://your_domain.com/ezservermonitor/ in your web browser. If you installed eZ Server Monitor on the same machine, use http://localhost/ezservermonitor/.
