Prerequisites

Before we start with the installation process, you need to make sure of the following:

• A running instance of Fedora CoreOS Latest
• A user with sudo privileges
• A web server installed and running in your system

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

First, you will need to install some dependencies required for QloApps to run properly. You can use the following command to install all the required packages:

sudo dnf install -y httpd php php-pdo php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-json php-mysqlnd php-opcache mariadb-server

Step 2: Download and Extract QloApps

You can download the latest version of QloApps from their official website. After downloading, navigate to the directory where the package is saved and extract it using the following command:

sudo tar xzf qloapps-v1.4.0.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/

Rename the extracted folder to "qloapps" using the following command:

sudo mv /var/www/html/qloapps-v1.4.0 /var/www/html/qloapps

Step 3: Create a Database for QloApps

Now, you need to create a database for QloApps to store data. You can use the following commands to create a database, a user, and grant privileges to the user:

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE qloapps;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON qloapps.* TO 'qloappsuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'qloappspassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Step 4: Configure Apache for QloApps

Next, you need to configure Apache to serve QloApps. You can do this by creating a new virtual host for QloApps using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/qloapps.conf

Add the following lines to the file and save it:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@qloapps.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/qloapps
    ServerName qloapps.local

    <Directory /var/www/html/qloapps/>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/qloapps_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/qloapps_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Finally, you need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 5: Install QloApps

You can now access the QloApps installation wizard by navigating to the following URL in your web browser:

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process. When prompted for the database information, enter the following information:
