How to Install PropertyWebBuilder on Void Linux

PropertyWebBuilder is an open-source website builder for creating property websites. If you want to install PropertyWebBuilder on Void Linux, this tutorial will guide you through the entire process.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you need to make sure that your system meets the following requirements:

• Void Linux installed
• Apache webserver installed
• PHP 7.2+ installed
• MySQL or MariaDB installed

Step-by-Step Installation Process

Now, let's get started:

Step 1: Download PropertyWebBuilder Package

Firstly, you need to download the PropertyWebBuilder package from the official website:

wget https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder/archive/main.zip

Alternatively, you can also clone the repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder.git

Step 2: Install Required PHP Extensions

You also need to install some PHP extensions that are required by PropertyWebBuilder:

sudo xbps-install php7-mysqli php7-pdo php7-pdo_mysql php7-gd php7-zip php7-curl php7-xml php7-mbstring 

Step 3: Create Database and User

Now you need to create a database and a user for PropertyWebBuilder:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE pwb;
CREATE USER 'pwb_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwb_pass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pwb.* TO 'pwb_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace 'pwb' with your desired database name and 'pwb_user' and 'pwb_pass' with your desired username and password.

Step 4: Configure Apache Web Server

Now, you need to configure Apache to serve PropertyWebBuilder properly. You need to create a virtual host configuration file for PropertyWebBuilder. Create a new file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/pwb.conf

Paste the following content into this file:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/property_web_builder/public"

    <Directory "/path/to/property_web_builder/public">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    
    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/pwb_error.log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/pwb_access.log" combined

</VirtualHost>

Now, Enable Apache and restart Apache web server to make the changes take effect:

sudo ln -s /etc/sv/httpd /var/service/
sudo service httpd restart

Finally, you can browse to http://localhost to see if everything is working properly. Congratulations! You have successfully installed PropertyWebBuilder on your Void Linux machine.
