AgenDAV is an open-source web-based calendar and scheduling application. It is available on Github and can be installed on different operating systems like Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Here's how to install AgenDAV on Ubuntu Server Latest:
Before starting with the installation, it is important to update the system to the latest version. This can be done by running the following command:
sudo apt update
AgenDAV requires Apache and PHP to run. Installing Apache and PHP is easy by running the following command:
sudo apt install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php
After the installation is complete, you can check the status of Apache by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status apache2
AgenDAV also requires MySQL to store its data. Install MySQL with the following command:
sudo apt install mysql-server
When the installation is complete, enter the following command to start the MySQL service:
sudo systemctl start mysql
Once MySQL is installed and running, create a database and a user for AgenDAV to use. To create the database, log in to MySQL with the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the MySQL root password when prompted. Now create the database and user for AgenDAV with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE agendav;
CREATE USER 'agendavuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'agendavuser123';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON agendav.* TO 'agendavuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Download the latest stable release of AgenDAV from the official website using the following command:
wget https://github.com/agendav/agendav/releases/download/2.4.0/agendav-2.4.0.zip
After the download is complete, extract the downloaded file using the following command:
unzip agendav-2.4.0.zip
Now move the extracted AgenDAV folder to the Apache www directory by running the following command:
sudo mv agendav /var/www/html/
Set the permissions of the AgenDAV directory to the Ubuntu user and Apache group by running the following command:
sudo chown -R :www-data /var/www/html/agendav/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/agendav/
Now, configure the AgenDAV application by copying the sample configuration file and editing it with the correct values:
cd /var/www/html/agendav/
cp config/config.sample.php config/config.php
sudo nano config/config.php
Edit the following settings in the configuration file as follows:
$config['timezone'] = 'Asia/Kolkata';
$config['db']['type'] = 'mysql';
$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['name'] = 'agendav';
$config['db']['username'] = 'agendavuser';
$config['db']['password'] = 'agendavuser123';
Save the changes and exit the editor.
After configuring AgenDAV, restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
AgenDAV is now ready to use. Access it through your web browser at the following address:
http://your-server-IP/agendav/
You should see the AgenDAV login page. Enter the login credentials and start using AgenDAV.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed AgenDAV on Ubuntu Server Latest.
