ILIAS is a web-based learning management system designed to support e-learning and online training. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing ILIAS on Kali Linux latest.
Before you start installing ILIAS on Kali Linux, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Follow the steps below to install ILIAS on Kali Linux latest:
Run the following command to install Apache and PHP on Kali Linux:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-xml php-curl php-mbstring
Run the following command to install MySQL server on Kali Linux:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be prompted to create a password for the MySQL root user. Make sure you remember this password as you will need it later.
Visit the official ILIAS website at https://www.ilias.de and download the latest version of ILIAS. Extract the downloaded file to the document root of your Apache web server. You can use the following command to extract the archive:
sudo tar -xvf ilias-x.x.x.tar.gz -C /var/www/html
Replace ilias-x.x.x.tar.gz with the name of the file you downloaded.
Log in to MySQL using the root user and password you created earlier:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database for ILIAS:
CREATE DATABASE ilias;
Create a new user and grant necessary privileges to the user on the ilias database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ilias.* TO 'iliasuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace 'iliasuser' and 'password' with your desired values.
Navigate to the ILIAS installation directory on your web server:
cd /var/www/html/ilias
Copy the ilias.ini.php-dist file to ilias.ini.php:
sudo cp ilias.ini.php-dist ilias.ini.php
Edit the ilias.ini.php file and add the following lines at the end of the file:
[db]
type = "mysqli"
host = "localhost"
database = "ilias"
username = "iliasuser"
password = "password"
Replace the values with your own database information.
Save and close the file.
Make sure the Apache web server has the necessary permissions to write to the ILIAS data directory:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ilias/data
Open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://your-server-ip/ilias/setup/setup.php
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. You will need to enter the database information and set up an administrator account.
Once the installation process is complete, you can log in to your ILIAS system by visiting the following URL:
http://your-server-ip/ilias/login.php
In this tutorial, we have provided a step-by-step guide to install ILIAS on Kali Linux latest. By following these instructions, you should now have a fully functional ILIAS system up and running on your Kali Linux machine.
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!
