In this tutorial we will <strong>install miniBB on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/centos-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CentOS 7 VPS<\/a><\/strong> with Apache, PHP and MariaDB.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Log in to your CentOS server via SSH as user root<\/p>\n<pre>ssh rooot@your_IP<\/pre>\n<p>and first of all make sure that all packages installed on your server are up to date:<\/p>\n<pre>yum -y update<\/pre>\n<p>miniBB requires and empty database, so we will have to install a database server. Run the following command to install MariaDB server:<\/p>\n<pre>yum install mariadb mariadb-server<\/pre>\n<p>Start the MariaDB database server and enable it to start at the boot time:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start mariadb\r\nsystemctl enable mariadb<\/pre>\n<p>Run the &#8216;mysql_secure_installation&#8217; script to secure the database server and set your MariaDB root password.<\/p>\n<p>Log in to the MariaDB server using the MySQL &#8216;root&#8217; user and create new database and user for miniBB:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -u root -p\r\n\r\nCREATE DATABASE minibb;\r\nCREATE USER 'minibbuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';\r\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `minibb`.* TO 'minibbuser'@'localhost';\r\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/pre>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to replace &#8216;PASSWORD&#8217; with a strong password.<\/p>\n<p>Install Apache web server<\/p>\n<pre>yum install httpd<\/pre>\n<p>Start the web server and add it to automatically start on the system start-up:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start httpd\r\nsystemctl enable httpd<\/pre>\n<p>miniBB is a PHP based application and it requires PHP. So, install PHP on your server:<\/p>\n<pre>yum install php php-common<\/pre>\n<p>Download the latest stable release of miniBB forum from their official website. At the moment of writing this article it is version 3.2.1.<\/p>\n<p>Unpack the downloaded zip archive to the document root directory on your server:<\/p>\n<pre>unzip minibb.zip -d \/var\/www\/html<\/pre>\n<p>If you are not sure where is your document root directory you can use the following command to find out:<\/p>\n<pre>grep -i '^documentroot' \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf\r\nDocumentRoot \"\/var\/www\/html\"<\/pre>\n<p>Change the ownership of the miniBB files:<\/p>\n<pre>chown -R apache:apache \/var\/www\/html\/minibb<\/pre>\n<p>Now, open the &#8216;setup_options.php&#8217; file which contains almost every common option of miniBB. We will enter the information of the MySQL database we created in this post and create a new administrator user.<\/p>\n<pre>vim \/var\/www\/html\/minibb\/setup_options.php\r\n\r\n$DBhost='localhost';\r\n$DBname='minibb';\r\n$DBusr='minibbuser';\r\n$DBpwd='PASSWORD';\r\n$admin_usr = 'ADMIN_USR';\r\n$admin_pwd = 'ADMIN_PASSWORD';\r\n$admin_email = 'admin@yourdomain.com';\r\n$main_url='http:\/\/yourdomain.com';<\/pre>\n<p>More information about the options available in the configuration file you can find at miniBB&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.minibb.com\/forums\/manual.html#config1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next, create Apache virtual host for your domain. Create &#8216;\/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/vhosts.conf&#8217; file with the following content<\/p>\n<pre>vim \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/vhosts.conf\r\n\r\nIncludeOptional vhosts.d\/*.conf<\/pre>\n<p>and create the virtual host<\/p>\n<pre>vim \/etc\/httpd\/vhosts.d\/yourdomain.com.conf\r\n\r\n&lt;VirtualHost YOUR_SERVER_IP:80&gt;\r\nServerAdmin webmaster@yourdomain.com\r\nDocumentRoot \"\/var\/www\/html\/minibb\/\"\r\nServerName yourdomain.com\r\nServerAlias www.yourdomain.com\r\nErrorLog \"\/var\/log\/httpd\/yourdomain.com-error_log\"\r\nCustomLog \"\/var\/log\/httpd\/yourdomain.com-access_log\" combined\r\n\r\n&lt;Directory \"\/var\/www\/html\/minibb\/\"&gt;\r\nDirectoryIndex index.html index.php\r\nOptions FollowSymLinks\r\nAllowOverride All\r\nRequire all granted\r\n&lt;\/Directory&gt;\r\n&lt;\/VirtualHost&gt;<\/pre>\n<p>Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect.<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart httpd<\/pre>\n<p>Now, navigate your favorite web browser to http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/_install.php to finish the miniBB installation.<\/p>\n<p>Of course you don\u2019t have to do any of this if you use one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/managed-vps-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linux VPS Hosting<\/a> services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to <strong>install miniBB<\/strong> for you.
