Introduction

DomainMOD is an open-source web-based application designed to manage domain names. It is a feature-rich and easy-to-use tool that can help you manage your domain names effectively. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install DomainMOD on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you should have the following:

• A Clear Linux Latest installation with root access
• A webserver, Apache or Nginx
• PHP 7.3 or later version installed on your system
• MySQL or MariaDB database server

Install Dependencies

1. Make sure your system is up-to-date by executing the following command.

   # swupd update
   

2. Install the necessary components for PHP and the webserver

   For Apache webserver:

   # swupd bundle-add php-basic apache
   

   For Nginx webserver:

   # swupd bundle-add php-basic nginx
   

3. Install the MySQL/MariaDB package.

   # swupd bundle-add mariadb
   

Install DomainMOD

1. Download the latest version of DomainMOD in your Clear Linux Latest machine.

   # wget https://github.com/domainmod/domainmod/releases/download/v4.15.0/DomainMOD-v4.15.0.zip
   

2. Extract the downloaded file.

   # unzip DomainMOD-v4.15.0.zip -d /var/www/html/
   

   Note: The above command will extract the DomainMOD files under the /var/www/html/ directory. If you are using a different webroot directory, you can substitute accordingly.

3. Rename the extracted directory to domainmod.

   # mv /var/www/html/DomainMOD-v4.15.0 /var/www/html/domainmod
   

4. Set the correct permissions for the domainmod directory.

   # chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/domainmod
   # chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/domainmod
   

5. Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database and user for DomainMOD.

   # mysql -u root -p
   mysql> CREATE DATABASE domainmod;
   mysql> CREATE USER 'domainmoduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
   mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON domainmod.* TO 'domainmoduser'@'localhost';
   mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   mysql> EXIT;
   

6. Open the domainmod directory and make a copy of the config.sample.php file, and name it config.php.

   # cd /var/www/html/domainmod
   # cp config/config.sample.php config/config.php
   

7. Edit the config.php file and update the following variables as per your configuration:

   $hostname = "localhost";
   $db_username = "domainmoduser";
   $db_password = "password";
   $db_name = "domainmod";
   

   Note: The above variables should match your database settings.

8. Create an Apache or Nginx virtual host configuration file. You can find the sample configuration file for Apache and Nginx below.

   For Apache:

   # vi /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/domainmod.conf
   
   <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerAdmin webmaster@domainmod.local
      ServerName domainmod.local
      DocumentRoot /var/www/html/domainmod
   
      <Directory /var/www/html/domainmod>
         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
         AllowOverride All
         Require all granted
      </Directory>
   
      ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/domainmod-error.log
      CustomLog /var/log/apache2/domainmod-access.log combined
   </VirtualHost>
   

   For Nginx:

   # vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/domainmod.conf
   
   server {
      listen 80;
      server_name domainmod.local;
      root /var/www/html/domainmod;
   
      index index.php index.html;
   
      location / {
         try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
      }
   
      location ~ \.php$ {
         fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
         fastcgi_index index.php;
         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
         include fastcgi_params;
      }
   
      access_log /var/log/nginx/domainmod-access.log;
      error_log /var/log/nginx/domainmod-error.log;
   }
   

   Note: The above configurations are just examples, make sure you substitute the domain name or IP address and other details accordingly.

9. Restart Apache or Nginx

   For Apache:

   # systemctl restart apache2
   

   For Nginx:

   # systemctl restart nginx
