Froxlor is a free and open-source web hosting control panel that can help you manage your server and web hosting accounts. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Froxlor on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, you should have:
Before we can install Froxlor on FreeBSD, we need to install some packages that will help us manage the web server. Open the terminal and run the following command to update the package index:
sudo pkg update
Next, install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo pkg install -y apache24 mod_php74 php74-mysqli php74-curl php74-zip php74-zlib php74-zip php74-session php74-openssl php74-mbstring php74-json php74-fileinfo
Now that we have installed the required packages, we can proceed with the installation of Froxlor. First, navigate to the /usr/local/www directory by running the following command:
cd /usr/local/www
Next, download the latest version of Froxlor from the official Froxlor GitHub repository by running the following command:
sudo fetch https://github.com/Froxlor/Froxlor/archive/refs/tags/v0.10.24.1.tar.gz
After the download completes, unpack the Froxlor archive file by running:
sudo tar -xf v0.10.24.1.tar.gz
Rename the extracted Froxlor directory to /var/www/froxlor by running the following command:
sudo mv /usr/local/www/Froxlor-0.10.24.1 /var/www/froxlor
Now create an Apache Virtual Host configuration file for Froxlor:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/froxlor.conf
Add the following code to the file:
Alias /froxlor /var/www/froxlor
<Directory /var/www/froxlor>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Now we need to enable the Apache Rewrite Module by editing the Apache config file:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
Uncomment the following line by removing the “#”:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so
Save and close the file.
Finally, restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:
sudo service apache24 restart
Now that we have successfully installed Froxlor on FreeBSD, we can access the control panel by going to http://your-server-ip/froxlor in a web browser. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up and configure Froxlor.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Froxlor on your FreeBSD server.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
