OhMyForms is a modern web form builder that allows users to create online forms easily without requiring any coding skills. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of installing OhMyForms on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you start with this tutorial, you need to have the following pre-requisites:
To start with, you need to update your Ubuntu server with the latest packages. Type the following command on your terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
OhMyForms work with a webserver, so you need to install and configure an appropriate web server. In this tutorial, we’ll install the Apache webserver. Type the following command to install Apache on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install apache2
OhMyForms is written in PHP language, so you need to install PHP and its required modules on your Ubuntu server. Type the following command to install PHP:
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-json php-mbstring php-cli php-zip
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that is required for installing OhMyForms. Type the following command to install Composer on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install composer
You can download OhMyForms by downloading it from the official website or via GitHub. Here, we’ll download it from the official website using the following command:
composer create-project ohmyform/app /var/www/html/ohmyforms
Wait for the installation process to complete.
Next, we need to configure the Apache webserver to serve OhMyForms. You can do this by creating an Apache virtual host file for OhMyForms. Type the following command to create the virtual host file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/ohmyforms.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain.com
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ohmyforms
<Directory /var/www/html/ohmyforms/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ohmyforms_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ohmyforms_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit the file.
After creating the virtual host file for OhMyForms, you need to enable it. Type the following command to enable it:
sudo a2ensite ohmyforms
Next, restart the Apache webserver for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Congratulations! You have installed and configured OhMyForms on your Ubuntu server. You can now access it through your web browser, go to your domain name, eg. http://your-domain.com.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure OhMyForms on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now start creating online forms easily without requiring any coding skills.
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!
