Open eClass is an open-source e-learning platform that allows educators to create, manage, and share online courses. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Open eClass on OpenBSD.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Open eClass, you need to install its dependencies. OpenBSD uses the pkg_add command to install packages. Run the following command to install PHP packages:
sudo pkg_add php php-pgsql php-gd php-mbstring php-curl php-zip php-bcmath php-intl
The next step is to download the latest release of Open eClass from the official website. To download, navigate to the download page and click the "Download Open eClass" button.
Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest release:
sudo wget https://github.com/flmom/Open-eClass/archive/master.zip
After downloading, extract the archive using the following command:
sudo unzip openeclass.zip -d /var/www/
This command will extract the files to the /var/www/ directory.
Next, configure Open eClass by editing the config.php file. Use your favorite text editor to open the file:
sudo vi /var/www/Open-eClass-master/config.php
Update the following settings in the config.php file:
'user' => 'YOUR_DB_USERNAME',
'password' => 'YOUR_DB_PASSWORD',
'database' => 'YOUR_DB_NAME',
'host' =>'localhost',
Replace the values with your own database credentials.
Create a new database for Open eClass by running the following command:
sudo createdb YOUR_DB_NAME
Set the proper permissions for the Open eClass directory by running the following commands:
sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/Open-eClass-master
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/Open-eClass-master
These commands will set the ownership and permissions for the Open eClass directory.
You can now access Open eClass by navigating to the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost/Open-eClass-master/
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Open eClass on OpenBSD!
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!
