DirectoryLister is a free and open-source PHP script that allows you to list the contents of directories on your web server in a nice and easy-to-use interface. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install DirectoryLister on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to download DirectoryLister from the official website. You can download the latest version of DirectoryLister using the following command:
wget https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister/archive/master.zip
Once the download is complete, unzip the downloaded file using the following command:
unzip master.zip
This will extract the DirectoryLister files to a folder named DirectoryLister-master.
Next, we need to configure Apache to serve the DirectoryLister application. To do this, create a new virtual host file for DirectoryLister using the following command:
sudo vi /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/directorylister.conf
Add the following content in the virtual host file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/DirectoryLister-master"
ServerName directorylister.example.com
<Directory "/var/www/html/DirectoryLister-master">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file.
Now, enable the new virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite directorylister
Finally, restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect.
sudo systemctl restart apache2
We need to create a new MySQL database for DirectoryLister. To do this, log in to the MySQL server using the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Then, create a new database for DirectoryLister:
CREATE DATABASE directorylister;
Create a new user and grant permission to access the new database:
CREATE USER 'directorylisteruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON directorylister.* TO 'directorylisteruser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace the username and password with your own values.
Next, we need to configure DirectoryLister to connect to the MySQL database we created in the previous step.
Navigate to the DirectoryLister-master folder and rename the config.php.example file to config.php.
cd /var/www/html/DirectoryLister-master
mv config.php.example config.php
Then, open the config.php file using the following command:
sudo vi config.php
Modify the following settings to match your server configuration:
define('INDEX_STYLE', 'table');
define('HIDE_CATEGORIES', false);
define('ENABLE_AUTHENTICATION', true);
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'directorylister');
define('DB_USER', 'directorylisteruser');
define('DB_PASS', 'password');
Save and exit the file.
Now, you can test if everything is working properly by visiting http://directorylister.example.com.
You should see a directory listing of the DirectoryLister-master folder.
If you see a blank page or encounter any other errors, check the Apache error logs for more information:
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error_log
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure DirectoryLister on OpenSUSE Latest.
Now you can easily list the contents of directories on your web server in a nice and easy-to-use interface.
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!
