Installing PropertyWebBuilder on Linux Mint

PropertyWebBuilder is a website builder designed for real estate agents and property managers. It's designed to be easy to use and highly customizable.

Here's how you can install it on Linux Mint:

Step 1: Download the software

The first step is to download the PropertyWebBuilder software. Go to the official website here: https://propertywebbuilder.com/. From the homepage, click the "Download" button. This will take you to a page where you can select the version of PropertyWebBuilder you want to download. Choose the Linux version.

Step 2: Install the dependencies

PropertyWebBuilder requires several dependencies to function properly. Open up a terminal window and type the following command to install them:

sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-client php php-mysql libapache2-mod-php

Step 3: Extract the software

Once the dependencies are installed, open up File Manager and navigate to the directory where PropertyWebBuilder was downloaded. Right-click the file and select "Extract here" to extract the files.

Step 4: Move the files

Move the PropertyWebBuilder files to the web server directory by typing this command in the terminal:

sudo mv propertywebbuilder-x.x.x /var/www/html/propertywebbuilder

Replace "propertywebbuilder-x.x.x" with the name of the directory where PropertyWebBuilder was extracted.

Step 5: Configure the database

Create a new database for PropertyWebBuilder by typing in these commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* TO 'username'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Replace "dbname", "username", and "password" with the name of the database, the desired username, and the desired password, respectively.

Step 6: Configure the web server

Create a new configuration file for PropertyWebBuilder by creating a new file at "/etc/apache2/sites-available/propertywebbuilder.conf". Add the following contents to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/propertywebbuilder/
ServerName example.com

<Directory /var/www/html/propertywebbuilder>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace "admin@example.com" and "example.com" with your email address and domain name.

Enable the new configuration file by typing the following command:

sudo a2ensite propertywebbuilder.conf

Finally, restart the Apache web server by typing:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7: Access PropertyWebBuilder

Open up a web browser and navigate to "http://example.com/install", where "example.com" is the domain name you configured in the previous step. Follow the installation instructions to complete the installation process.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed PropertyWebBuilder on Linux Mint.

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!
