yum update<\/pre>\nOnce the update finishes, you can download and extract the latest version of LimeSurvey on your server.<\/p>\n
cd \/opt && wget http:\/\/download.limesurvey.org\/latest-stable-release\/limesurvey206plus-build150619.tar.gz && tar -xzvf limesurvey206plus-build150619.tar.gz<\/pre>\nAt the moment of writing this tutorial, the latest stable version is 2.06. Make sure that you download the latest stable version. The download should take approximately 1-2 minutes depending on your Internet speed. \nNext, move the extracted files to the \/var\/www\/html\/ directory and change the ownership of the files using the following command:<\/p>\n
mv limesurvey \/var\/www\/html\/ && cd \/var\/www\/html\/ && chown -R apache: limesurvey\/<\/pre>\nLimeSurvey stores its data into a MySQL database so it is time to create a database, a database user and to set up a password. Log in to your MySQL server:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\nOnce you log in, run the following commands one by one:<\/p>\n
mysql> CREATE DATABASE limesurvey_db;\r\nmysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on limesurvey_db.* to 'limesurvey_user'@'localhost' identified by 'YoUrPaS$w0rD';\r\nmysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nmysql> exit\r\n<\/pre>\nIt is time to create a new virtual host directive in Apache so you can access the LimeSurvey installation on your server using your domain name.<\/p>\n
nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf<\/pre>\nAdd the following lines at the end of the file:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80>\r\n ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com\r\n DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/limesurvey\/\r\n ServerName yourdomain.com\r\n ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com\r\n <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/limesurvey\/>\r\n Options FollowSymLinks\r\n AllowOverride All\r\n <\/Directory>\r\n ErrorLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/yourdomain.com-error_log\r\n CustomLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/yourdomain.com-access_log common\r\n<\/VirtualHost>\r\n<\/pre>\nPlease replace yourdomain.com with the domain name you like to use for LimeSurvey and make sure that its A record is pointed to your server IP address. Save the file and close it. Restart Apache using the following command:<\/p>\n
\/etc\/init.d\/httpd restart<\/pre>\nOpen your favorite web browser and navigate to your domain name. You should be welcomed by the LimeSurvey online installation screen. Here, you need to follow the instructions to set up LimeSurvey.<\/p>\n
Once you finish the installation you can access the admin section at:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/yourdomain.com\/admin<\/pre>\nA good way to start using LimeSurvey is to read the user manual available on the official LimeSurvey website.<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\nOf course you don\u2019t have to do any of this if you use one of our Linux VPS hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to install LimeSurvey for you. They are available 24\u00d77 and will take care of your request immediately.<\/p>\n
