Mibew is a web-based live chat software that enables businesses to communicate with their customers in real time. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to install Mibew on EndeavourOS latest.
Before we start installing Mibew, we need to ensure that the required dependencies are installed. Run the following command with sudo privileges:
sudo pacman -S php php-fpm php-gd nginx mariadb
This command will install the latest version of PHP, the web server Nginx, and the MySQL database server MariaDB.
Once the MariaDB server is installed, we need to create a new database and user for Mibew. Follow these commands:
sudo mysql
CREATE DATABASE mibew;
CREATE USER 'mibewuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mibew.* TO 'mibewuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;
Replace "password" with your desired password.
Download the latest version of Mibew from the official website by running the following command:
wget https://download.mibew.org/latest.zip
Then extract the downloaded file to the web server directory:
sudo unzip latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
We now need to configure Nginx to serve Mibew. Run the following command to open the Nginx configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
Add the following code snippet inside the http block:
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com; #replace with your domain
root /var/www/html/mibew;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
fastcgi_buffers 4 256k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;
}
}
Save and close the file.
Restart Nginx to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Navigate to the Mibew installation directory:
cd /var/www/html/mibew
Rename the config.yml.default file to config.yml:
sudo cp config/default/config.yml.default config/default/config.yml
Edit the config.yml file to add the database details we created earlier:
sudo nano config/default/config.yml
Under the database: section, modify the following lines:
driver: "mysql"
host: "localhost"
port: "3306"
username: "mibewuser"
password: "password" #use your own password
dbname: "mibew"
Save and close the file.
To install Mibew, navigate to the install directory:
cd /var/www/html/mibew/install
Run the following command:
sudo php index.php
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, you can navigate to the IP address or domain of your server to access the Mibew chat application.
In this tutorial, you have successfully installed and configured Mibew on EndeavourOS latest. You can now use Mibew to communicate with your customers in real time.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
