Installing Anahita on OpenSUSE

Anahita is an open-source social networking platform that enables users to create their own social networks. It is built on the PHP framework, and it provides powerful features such as user management, messaging, groups, events, and more.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Anahita on OpenSUSE:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing Anahita, we need to make sure that our system meets the requirements. We need to install Apache, MySQL, and PHP along with some additional PHP modules.

You can install the dependencies by running the following command as root:

sudo zypper install apache2 mysql php7 php7-mysql php7-gd php7-curl php7-mbstring php7-json php7-xml

Step 2: Download Anahita

Next, we need to download the latest stable release of Anahita from their official website. You can do this by running the following command:

wget https://www.getanahita.com/releases/anahita-anahita-4.4.0-157.zip

Once the file is downloaded, unzip it using the following command:

unzip anahita-anahita-4.4.0-157.zip

Step 3: Create a New MySQL Database

Now it's time to create a new MySQL database for Anahita. You can do this by logging in to MySQL with the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Once you're logged in, create a new database with the following command:

create database anahita;

Step 4: Configure Apache

We need to configure Apache to serve our Anahita installation. Create a new virtual host file with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/anahita.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/anahita
    <Directory /var/www/anahita/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/anahita_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/anahita_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Make sure to replace "example.com" with your domain name.

Save and exit the file.

Step 5: Move Anahita to Document Root

We need to move the Anahita folder to the document root of our virtual host. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo mv anahita /var/www/anahita

Step 6: Set Permissions

We need to set the correct permissions for the Anahita files and directories. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /var/www/anahita
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/anahita

Step 7: Restart Apache

Finally, we need to restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2.service

Step 8: Install Anahita

Open your web browser and go to "http://example.com/install". You should see the Anahita installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

That's it! You have successfully installed Anahita on OpenSUSE. You can now login to your Anahita installation and start using it. Enjoy!
