Installing ICEcoder on FreeBSD Latest

ICEcoder is a web-based code editor that allows developers to write, edit, and test code in an intuitive and efficient way. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install ICEcoder on FreeBSD Latest.

Before you start, ensure that you have the following:

• A FreeBSD Latest system
• Root access or a user with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install PHP and Apache

The first step in installing ICEcoder on FreeBSD Latest is to install PHP and Apache. If you already have these installed, you can skip this step. To install these packages, run the following command:

sudo pkg install apache24 php74 php74-extensions

Step 2: Install ICEcoder

Now that Apache and PHP are installed, you can proceed to install ICEcoder. You can download the latest version of ICEcoder from the official website at https://icecoder.net/. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest version and extract it:

wget https://icecoder.net/download-zip
unzip icecoder-*.*.*-zip

Replace *.*.* with the latest version number.

Once the archive has been extracted, move the ICEcoder directory to the Apache root directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/:

mv icecoder-*.*.* /usr/local/www/apache24/data/icecoder

Step 3: Set permissions

Next, you need to set the appropriate permissions for the ICEcoder directory. To do this, run the following command:

chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/icecoder

Step 4: Configure Apache

To serve ICEcoder using Apache, you need to configure Apache by creating a new virtual host. Create a new file called icecoder.conf in the Apache configuration directory /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/.

nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/icecoder.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/apache24/data/icecoder
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/icecoder>
        Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache24/icecoder-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache24/icecoder-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and exit the text editor.

Step 5: Restart Apache

Finally, you need to restart Apache to apply the changes to the virtual host configuration:

sudo service apache24 restart

Step 6: Access ICEcoder

You can now access ICEcoder by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/.

ICEcoder should now be installed and ready to use on your FreeBSD Latest system!

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install ICEcoder on FreeBSD Latest by installing Apache and PHP, downloading and extracting the ICEcoder archive, setting the appropriate permissions, configuring Apache, and finally, accessing ICEcoder through a web browser.
