AgenDAV is a free, multi-platform calendar and address book program that lets you view, manage, and sync your personal and collaborative calendars and address books. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install AgenDAV on MXLinux Latest.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following:
In order to use AgenDAV, you need to have a web server installed on your machine. We will use Apache as our web server in this tutorial. To install the Apache web server, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
After installing Apache, start the Apache service:
sudo systemctl start apache2
To verify that Apache is running, open your web browser and type in localhost in the address bar. You should see the Apache default page.
AgenDAV is a PHP application, so we need to install PHP and its extensions. To install PHP and its extensions, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-xml php-mbstring php-curl php-gd
After installing PHP, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now we are ready to install AgenDAV. In this tutorial, we will download the latest version of AgenDAV from the official website. First, navigate to the Apache web directory:
cd /var/www/html/
Then, download the AgenDAV ZIP file:
sudo wget https://github.com/agendav/agendav/releases/latest/download/agendav.zip
Next, extract the ZIP file:
sudo unzip agendav.zip
Change the ownership of the AgenDAV files to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data agendav/
Now we need to configure AgenDAV. Navigate to the AgenDAV directory:
cd agendav/
Copy the config.template.php file to config.php:
sudo cp config.template.php config.php
Edit the config.php file and configure the database settings. Replace the following lines with your own database configuration:
$config['pdo']['dsn'] = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=agendav';
$config['pdo']['username'] = 'username';
$config['pdo']['password'] = 'password';
Save the config.php file and exit.
You need to create a database for AgenDAV to use. In this example, we will create a database named agendav with a user agendavuser.
Log in to MySQL as the root user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.
Create the database:
CREATE DATABASE agendav;
Create a user and grant privileges to the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON agendav.* TO 'agendavuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace password with a strong password.
Exit MySQL:
exit
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/agendav/. You will see the AgenDAV installer:
Follow the installer steps to install AgenDAV. Make sure to enter the database settings correctly, and choose the desired options for your installation.
After the installation is complete, you will see the AgenDAV login page:
Enter your admin username and password that you set during the installation.
