DomainMOD is a free and open-source domain name management software that helps you manage your domain names, website hosts, and related information. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install DomainMOD on MXLinux Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
DomainMOD requires a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to run. So, first of all, we need to install the LAMP stack on our MXLinux.
To install LAMP, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php php-mysql libapache2-mod-php
Once the installation is complete, start the LAMP services:
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
To ensure that the services are running, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status apache2 mysql
Next, we need to create a new MySQL database and user for DomainMOD. To do this, log in to MySQL using the following command:
sudo mysql
Then, create a new database and user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE domainmoddb;
CREATE USER 'domainmoduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON domainmoddb.* TO 'domainmoduser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Note: Replace yourpassword with a secure password.
Now, we can download and install DomainMOD on our MXLinux instance.
Download the latest version of DomainMOD from their official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/domainmod/domainmod/releases/latest/download/domainmod.zip
Extract the downloaded file using the following command:
unzip domainmod.zip
Then, move the extracted files to the Apache document root directory using the following command:
sudo mv domainmod /var/www/html/
Next, set the correct file permissions:
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/domainmod
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/domainmod
The last step is to configure DomainMOD to use the MySQL database that we created earlier.
Open the domainmod/includes/config.php file using a text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/html/domainmod/includes/config.php
Update the following lines with the MySQL database details that you created earlier:
define('DBHOST', 'localhost');
define('DBNAME', 'domainmoddb');
define('DBUSER', 'domainmoduser');
define('DBPASSWORD', 'yourpassword');
Save and close the file.
Now, you can access DomainMOD by opening a web browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://your_server_ip/domainmod
Replace your_server_ip with the IP address of your MXLinux instance.
You should see the DomainMOD login page. Use the default login details to access the admin dashboard:
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured DomainMOD on MXLinux Latest. You can now start using it to manage your domains, website hosts, and related information.
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!
