How to Install Chamilo LMS on Fedora Server Latest

Chamilo LMS (Learning Management System) is a free and open-source e-learning platform that allows users to create and manage online courses. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Chamilo LMS on a Fedora server.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Install Apache Web Server

If you haven't installed Apache web server on your Linux system, you can do so by running the following command:

dnf install httpd -y

Start the Apache service and enable it to start on system boot with the following commands:

systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd

Step 2: Install PHP and Required Packages

Chamilo LMS requires PHP 7.2 or higher with the following extensions installed:

You can install them using the following command:

dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-intl php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-json php-curl php-zip php-fileinfo -y

Once installation is complete, restart the Apache service:

systemctl restart httpd

Step 3: Install MySQL Server

Chamilo LMS requires a MySQL or MariaDB server as a database backend. You can install it using the following command:

dnf install mariadb-server -y

After installation, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start on system boot:

systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb

Run the MySQL secure installation script to set the root password and secure the database:

mysql_secure_installation

Step 4: Create a Database for Chamilo LMS

Log in to the MySQL shell as the root user:

mysql -u root -p

Create a new database and user for Chamilo LMS:

CREATE DATABASE chamilo;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chamilo.* TO 'chamilo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace 'password' with a secure password for the user.

Step 5: Download and Extract Chamilo LMS

Download the latest Chamilo LMS package from the official website:

wget https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/archive/v1.11.12.tar.gz

Extract the downloaded package:

tar xvfz v1.11.12.tar.gz

Move the extracted directory to the document root of your web server:

mv chamilo-lms-1.11.12 /var/www/html/chamilo

Step 6: Configure Chamilo LMS

Set the correct ownership and permissions for the Chamilo LMS directory:

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/chamilo
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/chamilo

Copy the sample configuration file to a new file:

cp /var/www/html/chamilo/app/config/parameters.yml.dist /var/www/html/chamilo/app/config/parameters.yml

Edit the parameters.yml file to set the database credentials:

parameters:
    database_driver: pdo_mysql
    database_host: 127.0.0.1
    database_port: null
    database_name: chamilo
    database_user: chamilo
    database_password: password

Replace the database_name, database_user and database_password fields with the values you set up in Step 4.

Restart the Apache service to apply the changes:

systemctl restart httpd

Open a web browser and enter your domain name or IP address followed by "/chamilo/". You should see the Chamilo LMS installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
