Coppermine is a free and open-source web application that allows you to create and manage an online photo gallery with ease. In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing Coppermine on Kali Linux Latest.
Before you start installing Coppermine on Kali Linux Latest, you should have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to download the latest version of Coppermine from the official website. You can use the following command to download it from the terminal:
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/coppermine/files/latest/download
Next, you need to extract the downloaded Coppermine archive to the Apache web root directory. You can use the following command to extract it:
tar -xvzf coppermine-*-stable.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
After extracting the Coppermine archive, you need to set the correct permissions for the files and directories. You can use the following commands to do that:
chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/coppermine/
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/coppermine/
Next, you need to create a MySQL database for Coppermine. You can use the following command to do that:
mysql -u root -p
This will open the MySQL shell. Once you are in the MySQL shell, you can use the following commands to create a new database, user, and grant privileges:
CREATE DATABASE coppermine;
CREATE USER 'coppermineuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON coppermine.* TO 'coppermineuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now, you need to configure Coppermine to use the MySQL database that you have just created. You can do that by editing the 'include/config.inc.php' file using any text editor:
nano /var/www/html/coppermine/include/config.inc.php
In this file, you need to modify the following lines with your MySQL username, password, and database name:
$CONFIG['dbuser'] = 'coppermineuser';
$CONFIG['dbpass'] = 'password';
$CONFIG['dbname'] = 'coppermine';
Finally, you can access Coppermine by entering the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost/coppermine/
You should now have a fully functional Coppermine photo gallery on your Kali Linux Latest system.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Coppermine on Kali Linux Latest. By following these steps, you should be able to create and manage an online photo gallery with ease.
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!
