How to Install Mibew on Manjaro

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Mibew on Manjaro.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Manjaro Linux installed on your system
• LAMP stack installed (Apache, PHP, and MySQL)
• Administrator privileges on your Manjaro system

Step 1: Download Mibew

First, go to the Mibew download page and download the latest version of Mibew.

Step 2: Extract Mibew

After you have downloaded Mibew, extract the contents of the downloaded archive to your web server root directory. You can achieve this using the following command:

sudo tar xvzf mibew-*.tar.gz -C /srv/http/

Step 3: Configure Mibew

Next, create a new MySQL database for Mibew:

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

Edit the Mibew configuration file at /srv/http/mibew/configs/config.yml and replace the default database parameters with the credentials you just created:

database:
    host: localhost
    port: null
    name: mibewdb
    user: mibewuser
    pass: password

Step 4: Set Permissions

In order for Mibew to function properly, you need to set appropriate permissions for the mibew directory and its subdirectories:

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

Step 5: Configure Apache

Configure Apache to recognize Mibew by creating a new virtual host file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/mibew.conf

Insert the following configuration block:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /srv/http/mibew
    <Directory /srv/http/mibew>
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Access Mibew Installer

Finally, navigate to your domain and access the Mibew installer by appending /install.php to your domain name. You should see the Mibew installer welcome screen.

Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
