PhpSysInfo is a web-based monitoring tool for system information like CPU, RAM, hard disk, network, and much more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PhpSysInfo on Kali Linux Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that you have the following requirements:
The first step is to update and upgrade your system to make sure that it is up-to-date with the latest security patches and software upgrades. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
PhpSysInfo requires Apache and PHP installed on your system. To install both of them, run the following command:
sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php php php-cli php-mbstring php-xml php-gd
Go to the PhpSysInfo official website and click on the "Download" button.
Extract the downloaded file by using the following command:
tar -xzf phpsysinfo-*.tar.gz
Move the extracted file to the Apache web directory:
sudo mv phpsysinfo-* /var/www/html/phpsysinfo
To configure PhpSysInfo, open the configuration file using a text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/phpsysinfo/includes/config.php
In this file, you can modify the configuration options, such as the username and password, the timezone, the file system path, and more.
To serve the PhpSysInfo web pages on the Apache web server, you need to create a virtual host configuration file. Run the following command to create a new virtual host file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/phpsysinfo.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/phpsysinfo
<Directory /var/www/html/phpsysinfo>
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpsysinfo_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/phpsysinfo_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save the changes and exit the editor. Then, enable the newly created virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite phpsysinfo
Finally, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
To access PhpSysInfo web interface on your browser, enter your server IP address or domain name followed by "/phpsysinfo". For example, you can use the following URL: http://localhost/phpsysinfo
You will be presented with a web page displaying detailed information about your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured PhpSysInfo on Kali Linux Latest. You can now use it to monitor your system resources and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
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!
