Installation of Kloxo Web Control Panel

 

Step 1: Disabling SELinux

Disable SELinux in “/etc/sysconfig/selinux” file. Open this file with “VI” editor.

# vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux

 

And change the line to “selinux=disabled“. Save and close file.

SELINUX=disabled

 

Reboot the server to reflect new changes.

# reboot

 

Warning: If SELinux not correctly disabled, your Kloxo installation useless and you may be required to reload OS to properly re-install it.

 

Step 2: Installing MySQL

 

Before getting started, make sure you’ve set your hostname properly and also you need to install MySQL. To do so, issue the following commands.

 

Note: If you’ve already installed MySQL and set a root password, you can skip this step and move to step #3.

# yum update
# yum install mysql-server

 

Start the MySQL service.

# /etc/init.d/mysqld start

 

Now, run the MySQL secure installation script to Secure your MySQL installation. The script will ask you to set MySQL root password and present with few questions at the prompts.

# /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

 

Step 3: Installing Kloxo

 

Download the latest Kloxo installer script with “wget” command, set execute permission and run the script, make sure to replace “mypassword” with your MySQL root password. During installation, the script will prompt a few questions and sometimes ask you to enter the root password.

# yum install -y wget
# wget http://download.lxcenter.org/download/kloxo/production/kloxo-installer.sh
# chmod +x kloxo-installer.sh
# sh ./kloxo-installer.sh --db-rootpassword=mypassword

# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 7778 -j ACCEPT
