Kleeja is an open-source file upload and management system that allows users to easily upload, share, and manage files. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps of installing Kleeja on Windows 11.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following tools installed on your computer:
The first step is to download Kleeja from the official website at https://kleeja.net/. Once you have downloaded the zip file, extract it to a directory of your choice.
Next, we need to create a database for Kleeja to use. Open your MySQL/MariaDB database management tool and create a new database, along with a new user and password.
Once you have created your database, open the file config.php located in the includes directory of your Kleeja installation. This file is the main configuration file for Kleeja.
Locate the section that looks like this:
#Database information
$dbtype = 'mysql';
$dbprefix = 'klj_';
$dbserver = 'localhost';
$dbname = '';
$dbuser = '';
$dbpass = '';
Fill in your MySQL/MariaDB database information, including the database name, username, and password.
#Database information
$dbtype = 'mysql';
$dbprefix = 'klj_';
$dbserver = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'your_database_name';
$dbuser = 'your_database_username';
$dbpass = 'your_database_password';
In the same config.php file, locate the section that looks like this:
#configurations
define('PATH', '');
define('DOMAIN', '');
define('UNIQKEY', '');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('COOKIE_PREFIX', 'klj_');
Fill in your site's URL, e.g., http://localhost/kleeja/.
#configurations
define('PATH', '/kleeja/'); #this should be the directory path of your installation
define('DOMAIN', 'localhost');
define('UNIQKEY', '');
define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
define('COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('COOKIE_PREFIX', 'klj_');
Now, it’s time to upload the entire Kleeja directory to your server’s Document Root, which is dependent on what server you’re running. You should upload the Kleeja directory to the following path:
C:\wamp64\www\kleeja\ #For WAMP
Or
C:\xampp\htdocs\kleeja\ #For XAMPP
Finally, access your Kleeja installation URL in your web browser, e.g., http://localhost/kleeja/install.php. Kleeja’s installation script will appear. Simply follow the instructions and enter the necessary details for a successful installation.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Kleeja on Windows 11 using a WAMP/MAMP/LAMP server setup by following six easy steps. After the installation, you can now use Kleeja to manage your files and upload them with ease.
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!
