MapBBCodeShare is a tool that allows users to create and share maps through their website or forum using BBCode. Installing MapBBCodeShare on Kali Linux Latest is a simple process that can be accomplished in a few easy steps. Here's a tutorial on how to do it:
Before installing MapBBCodeShare, you need to have Apache and MySQL installed on your Kali Linux system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
MapBBCodeShare requires PHP to function. To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install php
MapBBCodeShare is hosted on GitHub, and you will need Git to download it. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
After installing Git, navigate to your web server's root directory and clone the MapBBCodeShare repository from GitHub using the command below:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo git clone https://github.com/MapBBCode/share.mapbbcode.org.git
MapBBCodeShare requires write permissions to the /map directory to function properly. You can set permissions using the command:
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/share.mapbbcode.org/map
MapBBCodeShare uses MySQL as its database management system. Log in to MySQL as root user to create a new database and user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Then, create a new database and user:
CREATE DATABASE mapbbcodeshare_db;
CREATE USER 'mapbbcodeshare_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mapbbcodeshare_db.* TO 'mapbbcodeshare_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Make sure to replace the user password with your own password.
MapBBCodeShare requires a configuration file to set up the database connection. Copy the config.sample.php to config.php using the following command:
sudo cp /var/www/html/share.mapbbcode.org/config.sample.php /var/www/html/share.mapbbcode.org/config.php
Edit config.php with your database configuration details including host, username, password and database name.
Finally, load your browser and navigate to http://localhost/share.mapbbcode.org/. If everything has been installed correctly, you will see the MapBBCodeShare homepage.
That's it. You now have MapBBCodeShare installed on Kali Linux Latest. You can start creating and sharing maps with your community.
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!
