Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

• root access or a user account with sudo privileges
• an updated FreeBSD Latest system
• basic knowledge of the command line

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, we need to install some required packages. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pkg install apache24 php74 php74-mysqli php74-curl php74-xml php74-zip

This will install Apache, PHP, and other required packages.

Step 2: Clone Kriss Feed

Next, we need to clone Kriss Feed from Github. Run the following command to move to the Apache root directory:

cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data/

Now, clone the repository using the following command:

sudo git clone https://github.com/tontof/kriss_feed.git

This will clone Kriss Feed to the Apache root directory.

Step 3: Configure Apache

We need to configure Apache to serve Kriss Feed. Open the Apache configuration file using your preferred text editor:

sudo vi /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf

Enable PHP by uncommenting the following line:

LoadModule php7_module        libexec/apache24/libphp7.so

Next, add the following lines at the end of the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kriss_feed/
    <Directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kriss_feed/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit the file.

Step 4: Set Permissions

We need to set the correct permissions for Kriss Feed. Run the following command:

sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/kriss_feed/

Step 5: Start Apache and Test Kriss Feed

Start the Apache web server by running the following command:

sudo service apache24 start

Now, open your web browser and go to:
