CENTOS WEB PANEL REQUIREMENTS

• A Static IP address
• Freshly installed operating system without any configuration changes.
• Minimum RAM for 32-bit 512MB and 64-bit 1GB with 10GB of free space.

Step 1. Configure Hostname

Note: hostname must be differnet from your main domain.(for example, if example.com is a domain on your server, use hostname.example.com as your fully qualified hostname).

You can use the following command for hostname setup eg. osradar.localhost.localdomain

# hostnamectl set-hostname osradar.localhost.localdomain

# hostnamectl

Step 2. Configure Server IP addresses

Here you will make configuration in your network interface file and assign your IP address.

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens33

Step 3. Update the system

Use following commands to install and update server necessary updates.

# yum -y install wget

# yum -y update

# reboot

Step 4. Installing CWP on CentOS 7

Note: CWP installation can take more than 30 minutes, because it needs to compile apache and php from source.

# cd /usr/local/src

# wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el7-latest

# sh cwp-el7-latest

After installation a list of credentials will be appeared to access the panel. Make sure to copy or write down the login information. Once done, press “ENTER” for server reboot.

Step 5. Login CWP Admin Control Panel

Onece server reboot, login to your CWP on your web browser using the link provided by the installer on your server

http://SERVER-IP:2030/
Username: root
Password: your root password

Type username and password to login.

After logging in, it is recommended to make below configuration.

Setup Nameservers
DNS Functions > Edit Nameserver IP

Setup shared IP (must be your public IP address)
CWP settings > Edit Settings > write the shared IP(Normally main IP address already assigned)

Setup at least one hosting package
Go to package >add package > fill in the info and limits of the package

Setup root email
Go to CWP settings > Edit Settings > write the root email for the CWP

Another important issue is that these large companies do not take the issue of privacy seriously and their handling of user files and information is at least questionable.

Therefore, many users and small businesses prefer to invest in infrastructure that allows them to have their private cloud. At the software level, owncloud is emerging as the most important solution in this matter.

OwnCloud is a software that allows us to create a private cloud with which you can synchronize files, calendar, contacts, notes and more using extensions. It’s free, open source and has an application for Android, iOS and desktop client for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

Installing OwnCloud on our CentOS 7 server

1.-Upgrading the system

Normally when starting an installation process for this type of application, we need to update the system. For that:

            sudo -i

Enter your password and you will be a root user

            yum update

Once this is done, we can continue with the installation with the certainty of having all the security updates available.

2.-Installing Apache

In order to run it, a web server is required, in this case we will install apache.

                yum install httpd

Now we must start the service and enable it to run when the system starts.

            systemctl start httpd

and:

           systemctl enable httpd

For all this to work, we have to open the http ports in the firewall:

             firewall-cmd –permanent –zone=public –add-service=http

and:

            firewall-cmd –permanent –zone=public –add-service=https

Finally:

           firewall-cmd –reload

When accessing from our favorite web browser, to the server ip, we should see the apache test page, indicating that the process has been done correctly.

              http://IP_SERVER

3.-It is now up to MariaDB

Owncloud requires a DBMS and the one chosen in this case is MariaDB. We proceed to install it:

              yum install mariadb-server mariadb

As with apache, you need to activate and enable the service.

             systemctl start mariadb

and:

            systemctl enable mariadb

Next we’ll use the configuration script to set root password and more.

               mysql_secure_installation

To the questions we will answer: Y,n,y,y,y

The next thing is to create the database that will use owncloud, for this we access the MariaDB console.

            mysql -u root -p

And once inside, we execute the sentence:

             CREATE DATABASE owncloud;

Then we’ll create the user that will have permissions on that database.

              GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON owncloud.* TO ‘ownclouduser’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘owncloudpss’;

Don’t forget to change your username and password. Now we refresh the permissions and exit the mariadb console.

              FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

              exit;

4.-Adding owncloud repository

Before adding the owncloud repository, we must activate the EPEL repository and install some dependencies:

             yum install wget

Next:

             wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

And we proceed to install the downloaded package:

             rpm -Uvh epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

Now, we checked that the repository was added correctly.

            yum repolist

As we can see it has been added correctly.

With EPEL added we can install some OwnCloud dependencies:

            yum –enablerepo=epel -y install php php-pear-MDB2-Driver-mysqli php-pear-Net-Curl

As we can see, these dependencies include php.

Now we proceed to add the Owncloud repository:

wget http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/stable/CentOS_7/ce:stable.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d

And we proceed to install it:

           yum -y install owncloud          

Finally, we restart Apache.

            systemctl restart httpd

If we have SELINUX Enabler we must run these commands to give owncloud permissions.

             semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/owncloud/apps

             semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/owncloud/config

             restorecon /var/www/html/owncloud/apps

             restorecon /var/www/html/owncloud/config

At this point, if we try to access the web interface, we will encounter this error:

It tells us the bug that we need to upgrade php to a higher version but not 7.3.

5.-Upgrading php

As it was said, we need to update the version of php that comes in CentOS. First we add the REMI repository:

              yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm

We must also install the package yum-utils

               yum install yum-utils

Now we enable the repository and update the system:

            yum-config-manager –enable remi-php72

and:

            yum update

We install the necessary php modules for owncloud:

              yum install php-gd php-zip php-mbstring php-intl

As we can see, php is updated with the command. Then, we restart Apache.

              systemctl restart httpd

6.-Completing the installation through the web interface

At this point we can complete the configuration from the web browser:

             http://IP_SERVER/owncloud

And we introduce the parameters of mariadb that we have done before. In addition to creating the administrator account.

Once the process is complete, you will be asked for your password to enter the application.

We enter the username and password and the application is displayed as such.

And owncloud is already installed and we can start to take advantage of it.

Owncloud is important for many small and medium businesses that do not want to have their files entrusted to third parties with the advantage of being the full owner of the privacy of the server that contains them.
