BounCA is an open-source web-based Certificate Authority that provides users the ability to manage and issue SSL/TLS certificates for their websites. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of BounCA on FreeBSD Latest.
First, we need to install some required packages before we can install BounCA. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg install apache24 mod_php73 php73-extensions php73-mysqli php73-zlib php73-hash php73-json php73-filter php73-curl php73-openssl
This will install the necessary packages required to run BounCA.
Visit the BounCA website and download the latest version of the software. Once downloaded, use the following command to extract the files to a new directory:
sudo tar xvzf bounca-VERSION.tar.gz -C /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
Make sure to replace "VERSION" with the actual version number.
Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file for BounCA by running the following command:
sudo cp /usr/local/www/apache24/data/bounca/manual/conf/httpd-app.conf /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/bounca.conf
Next, open the configuration file with a text editor:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/bounca.conf
Update the configuration file to specify the path to the BounCA directory:
Alias /bounca "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/bounca"
Save and close the file.
Open the php.ini configuration file with a text editor:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/php.ini
Update the following settings:
max_execution_time = 600
memory_limit = 256M
post_max_size = 25M
upload_max_filesize = 25M
Save and close the file.
After making the required changes, restart the Apache service by running the following command:
sudo service apache24 restart
Open a web browser and navigate to the BounCA URL, which should be http://your-server-ip/bounca/. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
