Before we begin with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install Octopussy on Clear Linux Latest:
Step 1: Update your Clear Linux System
Before you begin with the installation process, it is a good practice to update your Clear Linux system to ensure that you have the latest software packages available. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo swupd update
Enter your sudo password when prompted and wait for the update to complete.
Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies
Octopussy requires Apache, MySQL, and PHP to run, so you need to install these packages on your Clear Linux system. To do this, run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add lamp-server
This command will install the Apache, MySQL, and PHP packages along with all their dependencies. Enter your sudo password when prompted and wait for the installation to complete.
Step 3: Install Octopussy
Once you have installed the required dependencies, you can proceed with the installation of Octopussy. You can download the Octopussy package from the official website at http://www.octopussy.pm.
wget http://www.octopussy.pm/download/octopussy-1.0.14.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
tar -zxvf octopussy-1.0.14.tar.gz
Move the extracted Octopussy directory to the /var/www/html directory using the following commands:
sudo mv octopussy-1.0.14 /var/www/html/octopussy
Give read and write permissions to the Apache user (www-data) using the following command:
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/octopussy -R
Step 4: Configure Octopussy
You need to edit the octopussy.conf file located at /var/www/html/octopussy/config/ directory using the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/octopussy/config/octopussy.conf
Update the following settings as per your requirement:
o_log_folder = "/var/log/"
o_db_host = "localhost"
o_db_name = "octopussy"
o_db_user = "octouser"
o_db_password = "octopassword"
Save the file and exit.
Step 5: Create the Octopussy Database
Create the Octopussy database using the following command:
sudo mysql -uroot -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
mysql> CREATE DATABASE octopussy;
Once the database is created, you need to create a MySQL user for Octopussy to access the database. Run the following commands:
mysql> CREATE USER octouser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'octopassword';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON octopussy.* TO octouser@localhost;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Step 6: Restart Apache
Restart the Apache server using the following command to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Step 7: Access the Octopussy Web Interface
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip/octopussy
You should see the Octopussy login page. Enter the default username and password ('admin' and 'octopussy') to log in.
