How to Install Kleeja on FreeBSD Latest

Kleeja is a file hosting script that allows you to easily share files with others. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Kleeja on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Download Kleeja

First, download the latest version of Kleeja from the official website https://kleeja.net/download.html.

You can either download the zip or tar.gz file.

# create a directory to store the downloaded file and navigate to the directory
mkdir kleeja
cd kleeja

# download the tar.gz file
curl -OL https://github.com/kleeja-official/Kleeja/releases/download/v2.4.1/Kleeja-v2.4.1.tar.gz

Step 2: Extract and Move Kleeja Files

Once the file has downloaded, extract the contents of the tar.gz file and move the extracted files to your web server directory.

# extract the contents of the tar.gz file
tar -xzvf Kleeja-v2.4.1.tar.gz

# move the extracted files to your web server directory
sudo mv Kleeja-v2.4.1 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kleeja

Step 3: Create Kleeja Database

Create a new MySQL database for your Kleeja installation.

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password to launch the MySQL command prompt.

mysql> CREATE DATABASE kleeja_db;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON kleeja_db.* TO 'kleeja_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace kleeja_db with the name of your database, kleeja_user with a username of your choice, and your_password with a password of your choice.

Step 4: Configure Kleeja

In order to configure Kleeja, copy the example configuration file and rename it to config.php. Then, edit the config.php file to configure your Kleeja installation.

# navigate to your Kleeja installation directory
cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kleeja

# copy example configuration file
cp includes/config.default.php includes/config.php

# open configuration file for editing
sudo nano includes/config.php

In the configuration file, update the following settings:

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysqli');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'kleeja_db');
define('DB_USER', 'kleeja_user');
define('DB_PASS', 'your_password');

define('SCRIPT_URL', 'http://your-domain.com/kleeja/');

Replace kleeja_db, kleeja_user, and your_password with your database name, username, and password respectively. Replace http://your-domain.com/kleeja/ with the URL to your Kleeja installation.

Save and close the file when you are finished.

Step 5: Set File Permissions

Set proper file permissions for the Kleeja directory and sub-directories.

sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kleeja
sudo chmod -R 750 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kleeja
sudo chmod -R 770 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kleeja/cache

Step 6: Install Kleeja

Open your web browser and navigate to the URL for your Kleeja installation.

You will be prompted to fill out details including your username, email, and password. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation process.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kleeja on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Kleeja to share files with others.
