ILIAS is a web-based e-learning management system that enables instructors to create, host, and deliver online courses. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ILIAS on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing a new software package on your system, it is important to update your system. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd update
This command downloads and installs all available updates for Clear Linux Latest.
The Apache web server is required to run ILIAS on Clear Linux Latest. To install Apache, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add http-server
This command installs the Apache web server package and its dependencies.
To run ILIAS, you also need to install PHP on your system. Clear Linux Latest has a built-in package for PHP which includes all necessary extensions. Run the following command to install PHP:
sudo swupd bundle-add php
This installs PHP and its extensions.
ILIAS requires a database to store its data. In this tutorial, we will use MariaDB. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb
This installs MariaDB and its dependencies.
After installing MariaDB, you need to create a database and a user for ILIAS. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
The first command starts the MariaDB service, and the second command prompts you to secure your MariaDB installation. Follow the prompt to create a password for the root user and answer the questions for the security settings.
Next, login to your MariaDB server:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the password you created earlier and create a database and user for ILIAS:
CREATE DATABASE ilias;
CREATE USER 'ilias'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ilias.* TO 'ilias'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace "password" with a strong password.
Download the latest version of ILIAS from the official website. Extract the downloaded file, and then move it to the /var/www/ directory:
sudo mv ilias-X.Y.Z /var/www/
Replace "X.Y.Z" with the version number of the downloaded file.
Next, set the proper permissions and ownership:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/ilias-X.Y.Z
sudo chmod -R 770 /var/www/ilias-X.Y.Z
Create a new virtual host file for ILIAS:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ilias.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/ilias-X.Y.Z"
ServerName example.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/ilias-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/ilias-access_log" common
<Directory "/var/www/ilias-X.Y.Z">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace "example.com" with your server's domain or IP address.
Finally, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now that ILIAS is installed and configured, you can access it by visiting your server's domain or IP address in your web browser.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
