Froxlor is an open-source server administration tool that can be used to manage web hosting servers. Froxlor allows you to manage multiple domains, email addresses, and databases from a single place. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Froxlor on Debian Latest.
Before installing any new package, it is always recommended to update the system to get the latest security updates and bug fixes.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, you need to install essential dependencies required for Froxlor.
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php php-mysqli php-mbstring libapache2-mod-php
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter a password for the MariaDB root user.
You can download the latest version of Froxlor from the official website.
wget https://files.froxlor.org/releases/froxlor-latest.tar.gz
Once downloaded, extract the archive.
tar -xvzf froxlor-latest.tar.gz
Move the extracted directory to the /var/www/ directory.
sudo mv froxlor /var/www/
To configure Apache, create a new virtual host configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/froxlor.conf
Then add the following content to the file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/froxlor
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
<Directory "/var/www/froxlor">
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All

Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address.
Next, enable the new virtual host and Apache modules.
