How to Install DomainMOD on Manjaro

DomainMOD is an open-source web application that helps users manage their domain names. In this tutorial, we will guide you to install DomainMOD on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Step 1 - Download DomainMOD

First, we need to download DomainMOD from the official website. Open your web browser and visit https://domainmod.org. Click on the Download button, and save the file to your local machine.

Step 2 - Extract DomainMOD Archive

Next, extract the downloaded archive. Open a terminal, navigate to the directory where the file is downloaded and use the following command to extract the file:

tar -zxvf domainmod-4.x.x.tar.gz

Replace 4.x.x with the version number of DomainMOD you have downloaded.

Step 3 - Move Files to Web Root

Now, move the extracted DomainMOD files to the web server directory. Open a terminal, navigate to the extracted folder and execute the following command:

sudo mv domainmod /srv/http/

This will move the DomainMOD files to the Apache2 web server's document root directory /srv/http/.

Step 4 - Set Permissions

DomainMOD files should have the correct permissions to be accessed by the web server. Execute the following commands to change the ownership and permissions:

sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/domainmod/
sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/domainmod/

Step 5 - Create Database

To use DomainMOD, we first need to create a database. Open a terminal and launch the MySQL client by executing the following command:

mysql -u root -p

Enter the MySQL root password when prompted. Then, create a new database by executing the following command:

CREATE DATABASE domainmod;

Replace domainmod with the name of the database of your choice.

Step 6 - Configure DomainMOD

In this step, we need to configure DomainMOD to use the created database. Open a web browser and enter the following URL:

http://localhost/domainmod/install.php

This will launch the DomainMOD installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions and enter the following information:

After completing these fields, click on the Test Database Connection button to make sure DomainMOD can connect with the database you've created. If everything is successful, click on the Install button.

Step 7 - Remove the Install Script

For security reasons, we need to remove the installation script after setting up DomainMOD. Open a terminal and execute the following command:

sudo rm /srv/http/domainmod/install.php

Step 8 - Access DomainMOD

DomainMOD is now installed on your Manjaro Linux system. Open a web browser and enter the following URL to access DomainMOD:

http://localhost/domainmod/

Congratulations! You have successfully installed DomainMOD on your Manjaro system.
