How to Install Atheos on OpenBSD

Prerequisites

Installation Steps

  1. Open the Terminal application on your OpenBSD instance.

  2. Enter the following command to download the Atheos installer:

    ftp https://github.com/Atheos/Atheos/archive/v0.9.9.tar.gz
    
  3. Extract the downloaded package:

    tar -xvzf v0.9.9.tar.gz
    
  4. Move into the extracted directory:

    cd Atheos-0.9.9
    
  5. Run the installer script:

    sudo sh build.sh
    
  6. After the installation process is complete, edit the configuration file with your preferred text editor:

    sudo nano /etc/httpd.conf
    

7. Add the following configuration:

 ```sh
 server "Atheos" {
     listen on * port 80
     root "/path/to/atheos"
     directory auto index
     location "*.php" {
         fastcgi socket "/run/php-fpm.sock"
     }
 }

Replace /path/to/atheos with the path to the Atheos installation directory.

  1. Save the configuration file and exit the text editor.

  2. Restart the web server to apply the changes:

    sudo /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
    
  3. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/. You should see the Atheos login page.
