PHP Server Monitor is a popular open-source tool that allows users to monitor their servers and websites. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of PHP Server Monitor on Manjaro.
To download PHP Server Monitor onto your Manjaro system, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo wget https://www.phpservermonitor.org/downloads/phpservermonitor-latest.zip
This will download the latest version of PHP Server Monitor onto your system.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the directory containing the downloaded file using the following command:
cd /path/to/download-directory
Now extract the downloaded zip file using the following command:
sudo unzip phpservermonitor-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/phpservermonitor/
Note: /var/www/html/phpservermonitor/ is the default directory to place PHP Server Monitor.
Next, you need to provide appropriate permissions for PHP Server Monitor files and directories. Use the following command to change ownership and permissions of PHP server monitor files:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/phpservermonitor/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/phpservermonitor/
PHP Server Monitor uses a MySQL database to store and manage its data. Use the following command in your terminal to create a new database:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE psm;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON psm.* TO 'psmuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Note: Replace 'yourpassword' with a strong password of your own choice.
Now, in your web browser, navigate to http://localhost/phpservermonitor/install and you should see the installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation process, you will be asked to enter the database information that you created in Step 4.
Once installation is complete, open the config.php file located in the root directory of PHP Server Monitor (/var/www/html/phpservermonitor/) using your preferred text editor.
sudo vi /var/www/html/phpservermonitor/config.php
Update the database details that you created in Step 4 and configure other settings, if necessary.
Once you have made the necessary changes, save and close the file.
Lastly, restart the Apache2 web server using the following command to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now you can access PHP Server Monitor in your web browser – http://localhost/phpservermonitor.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PHP Server Monitor on Manjaro.
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!
