eZ Server Monitor is a free and open-source server monitoring software that helps you keep an eye on your server's health, performance, and uptime. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install eZ Server Monitor on Windows 10.
First, you need to download the eZ Server Monitor binary file from the official website http://www.ezservermonitor.com/.
Once you have downloaded the file, extract the contents to a folder on your computer.
eZ Server Monitor needs PHP to run. You can either install PHP manually or use a PHP installer like WampServer or XAMPP. For this tutorial, we will be using XAMPP.
Download the XAMPP installer from https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html and install it. Follow the installation wizard and choose PHP when prompted.
Once XAMPP is installed, open the XAMPP Control Panel and start the Apache and MySQL services.
Next, open the php.ini file located in your PHP installation folder (e.g., C:\xampp\php\php.ini) using a text editor like Notepad.
Find the following lines and uncomment them by removing the semicolon at the beginning of each line:
extension=gd
extension=mysqli
extension=sockets
Save and close the php.ini file.
eZ Server Monitor needs a MySQL database to store the monitoring data.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Login with the default username and password (root).
Create a new database named "ezmonitor" and select it.
In the downloaded eZ Server Monitor folder, navigate to the "database" folder and import the "ezmonitor.sql" file to the "ezmonitor" database you just created.
In the eZ Server Monitor folder, locate the "config.php.dist" file and rename it to "config.php".
Open the "config.php" file using a text editor.
Set the following variables with the database information you just created:
$dbHost = 'localhost';
$dbUser = 'root';
$dbPass = '';
$dbName = 'ezmonitor';
Save and close the "config.php" file.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/ezmonitor (or whatever your eZ Server Monitor installation folder is named).
You should now see the eZ Server Monitor login page. Login with the default username and password (admin).
Congratulations! You have successfully installed eZ Server Monitor on Windows 10.
We hope this tutorial was helpful in guiding you through the installation process of eZ Server Monitor on Windows 10. Remember to keep your server monitored regularly to ensure optimal performance and uptime.
