• OS setup

#   cd ~/

# sudo apt -y install wget https://www.rconfig.com/downloads/rconfig7_ubuntu.sh -O install.sh

# chmod +x install.sh

# sudo ./install.sh

•  Database setup

1. Login to your database server as root
2. Create a new database

# mysql -u root -p

# CREATE DATABASE rconfig;

3. Create a new user if required (do not use the credentials below in production). This is likely required for Ubutnu 20.04+. If you are using a different OS, you may not need to create a new user, and you can use the root account, though this is not recommended.

# CREATE USER ‘user1’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password1’;

# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rconfig.* TO ‘user1’@’localhost’;

# FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

4. Exit the database

# exit

•  Rconfig Setup Steps

1. Login as root
2. Clone the repo

# cd /var/www/html

# git clone https://github.com/rconfig/rconfig.git

3. Change directory to the repo

# cd rconfig

• Create the .env file

#cp example .env

5. Edit the .env file and update the following variables:

APP_URL=”https://SERVER.DOMAIN.LOCAL”

APP_DIR_PATH=/var/www/html/rconfig

DB_HOST=DBHOST

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=DBNAME

DB_USERNAME=DBUSER

DB_PASSWORD=DBPASS

6. Update apache config file for correct server name.

# sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/rconfig-vhost.conf

Update the Server-name to match your server’s domain name

ServerName YourServerName.domain.local

ServerAlias YourServerName.domain.local

7. Restart apache

# systemctl restart apache2
