What is openServer?

openServer is a Website written in PHP where you can develop your own Web Apps or Websites, even upload your Film, TV Series, Music and Personal Files with the built-in Personal Vault and the special Server Web App to read directly from the Server your files (without downloading anything!).

How do I install openServer on my machine?

For the moment I'm only supporting Linux, so if you have Windows you must wait

• First of all you must run this command to install apache2, PHP and the relative modules:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php8.1 mariadb-server php8.1-mbstring php8.1-mysql php8.1-xml php8.1-zip -y

• (OPTIONAL) I strongly reccomend to install also Cockpit to manage remotely your server:

sudo apt-get install cockpit -Y

• Make your way to the Website folder and delete the html folder (it's useless):

cd /var/www/html/ && rm ./*

• Download openServer and extract it:

wget https://github.com/Markus2003/openServer/releases/download/1.0.1/1.0.1.zip && unzip 1.0.1.zip && rm 1.0.1.zip

• Edit your php.ini to grant app upload (php.ini path may change depending on the system):

sudo nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini

• Make the necessary modifications, then save and exit:

#Change line with post_max_size to
post_max_size = 0

#Change line with file_uploads to
file_uploads = On

#Change line with upload_max_filesize to
upload_max_filesize = 0

• Now restart apache2 service:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

• Standardize permissions to Website folder (change with your real username on the machine):

sudo chmod 777 -R /var/www/html
sudo chown <username>:<username> -R /var/www/html

• DONE!

If you can't install app on the server try to execute again the last commands

If some command don't work try to carefully add sudo
