How to Install PurritoBin on Fedora Server Latest

PurritoBin is a self-hosted pastebin web application that allows you to store and share plain text or code snippets. It is an open-source application built using PHP and MySQL. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PurritoBin on Fedora Server latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start installing PurritoBin, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of Fedora Server latest.
• A user account with administrative privileges.
• A LAMP stack installed on the Fedora Server.
• PHP version 7.0 or newer.
• MySQL or MariaDB server installed.

Step 1: Clone the PurritoBin repository

Firstly, you need to clone the PurritoBin repository from the GitHub repository using the Git command-line tool. To install Git on your Fedora Server, run the following command:

sudo dnf install git

Once the Git is installed, navigate to the /var/www/html directory and clone the PurritoBin repository using the following command:

cd /var/www/html/
sudo git clone https://github.com/PurritoBin/PurritoBin.git

Step 2: Configure Apache for PurritoBin

After cloning the repository, you need to configure the Apache virtual host for PurritoBin. To do so, create a new virtual host configuration file purritobin.conf in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory using the following command:

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

Add the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/PurritoBin/public

    <Directory /var/www/html/PurritoBin/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/purritobin_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/purritobin_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Step 3: Install PurritoBin Dependencies

Next, install the necessary dependencies required by PurritoBin using the following command:

sudo dnf install php php-fpm php-gd php-mysqlnd php-intl php-simplexml php-mbstring php-json php-curl php-opcache

Now, restart the Apache and PHP-FPM services to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

Step 4: Create a MySQL Database

PurritoBin requires a MySQL/MariaDB database to store the data. Follow the below steps to create a new database and user:

1. Login to the MySQL shell using the following command:

   sudo mysql -u root -p
   

2. Once you’re logged in, enter the following commands to create a new database and user:

   CREATE DATABASE purritobin;
   CREATE USER 'purritobin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_here';
   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON purritobin.* TO 'purritobin'@'localhost';
   

   Replace password_here with your preferred password.

3. Finally, exit the shell by typing the following command:

   exit;
   

Step 5: Configure PurritoBin

Now, you need to configure PurritoBin to use the database created in Step 4.

1. Copy the config.php.example file to config.php using the following command:

   cd /var/www/html/PurritoBin
   cp config.php.example config.php
   

2. Edit the config.php file and update the following lines with your database credentials:

   'DB_HOST' => 'localhost',
   'DB_NAME' => 'purritobin',
   'DB_USER' => 'purritobin',
   'DB_PASS' => 'password_here',
   

Save and close the file.
