How to Install RosarioSIS on Void Linux

RosarioSIS is a free and open-source Student Information System that allows you to manage student records and automate administrative tasks in schools or colleges. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install RosarioSIS on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• Void Linux distribution installed on your system
• LEMP stack (Nginx, MySQL/MariaDB, and PHP) installed and properly configured

Step 1: Download RosarioSIS

To download the latest version of RosarioSIS, visit their official website at https://www.rosariosis.org/download.html.

Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the latest version of RosarioSIS:

$ wget https://www.rosariosis.org/rosariosis.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the archive using the following command:

$ tar -xvzf rosariosis.tar.gz

Step 2: Configuration

To configure RosarioSIS, navigate to the directory where you extracted the archive and open the "config.php" file using a text editor:

$ nano rosariosis/config.php

In this file, you can specify your database settings, site name, and other general settings. Make the necessary changes according to your preferences and then save the file.

Step 3: Database Setup

Create a new database for RosarioSIS using the following command:

$ mysql -u root -p

Then enter your MySQL root password and run the following command to create a new database:

CREATE DATABASE rosariosis;

Now, create a new user for the database and grant the necessary privileges using the following command:

CREATE USER 'rosariosis'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rosariosis.* TO 'rosariosis'@'localhost';

Be sure to replace "your-password" with a strong password of your choice.

Step 4: Import RosarioSIS Database

Now that you have created a new database and user, import the RosarioSIS database using the following command:

$ mysql -u rosariosis -p rosariosis < rosariosis/rosariosis.sql

Enter the password you set up for the "rosariosis" user.

Step 5: Move files to web server root directory

To serve RosarioSIS from your web server, you need to move the extracted files to your web server's root directory (usually /var/www/html/).

$ sudo mv rosariosis/* /var/www/html/

Step 6: Set Proper Permissions

To ensure that your web server can access and modify the files, we need to change the ownership of the RosarioSIS dir to www-data:

$ sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/ -R

Step 7: Start The Web Server and Visit the Website

Now that everything is set up, start the web server by running the following command:

$ sudo service nginx start

Open a web browser and visit your server's IP or domain name. You should see the RosarioSIS installation page. Follow the instructions given to complete the installation.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed RosarioSIS on your Void Linux server. You are now ready to start using RosarioSIS to manage student records and automate administrative tasks in schools or colleges.

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!
