PHPBack is a free and open-source feedback system that allows users to provide feedback to website owners in a systematic way. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PHPBack on Kali Linux.
Before installing PHPBack, you need to install some dependencies. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
This will install Apache, PHP and MySQL on your Kali Linux system.
Download the latest version of PHPBack from the official website: https://www.phpback.org/. Once downloaded, extract the ZIP file to a location of your choice.
PHPBack uses Apache as its web server. Open the Apache configuration file located in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory, using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file, right before the </VirtualHost> tag:
<Directory /var/www/html/phpback/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and exit the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, then ENTER.
Restart the Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Login to the MySQL database using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted. Once logged in, create a new MySQL database, and user, using the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE phpback;
CREATE USER 'phpback_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'phpback_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpback.* TO 'phpback_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace phpback_user and phpback_password with your own username and password for PHPBack.
Copy the extracted PHPBack files to the /var/www/html/phpback/ directory:
sudo cp -r <path_to_phpback_files>/ /var/www/html/phpback/
Change the permissions of the PHPBack directory so that Apache can access the files:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/phpback/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/phpback/
Once the files are copied, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpback/. The installation process will begin. Follow the on-screen instructions and enter the MySQL database credentials you created earlier when prompted.
Once the installation is complete, navigate to http://localhost/phpback/admin in your web browser. Log in using the default credentials: username: admin and password: admin.
You can now customize PHPBack to suit your needs. Configure the settings, create feedback categories, and start collecting feedback from your users.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHPBack on Kali Linux Latest.
