The installation process is easy and it takes only a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest stable version of Open Source Social Network is 4.2 and it requires:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PHP 5.4 or higher (preferably the latest), compiled with cURL, mcrypt, MySQLi, ZIP, JSON, XML PHP extensions and GD PHP Library enabled.<\/li>\n<li>allow_url_fopen option enabled in PHP<\/li>\n<li>Apache Web Server 2.0 or higher compiled with mod_rewrite module;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This install guide assumes that Apache is already installed and configured on your <a title=\"virtual server\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">virtual server<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the installation. Make sure your server OS packages are fully up-to-date:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get update \r\napt-get upgrade<\/pre>\n<p>Enable Apache rewrite module if it is not already done so:<\/p>\n<pre>a2enmod rewrite<\/pre>\n<p>Install required PHP packages:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get install php7.0-cli php7.0-common php7.0-json php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-mysql php7.0-xml php7.0-curl php7.0-zip php7.0-gd<\/pre>\n<p>Restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n<pre>service apache2 restart<\/pre>\n<p>Download the latest version of Open Source Social Network available at http:\/\/www.opensource-socialnetwork.org\/download to a directory on the server and extract it using the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre>cd \/opt\/\r\nwget https:\/\/www.opensource-socialnetwork.org\/download_ossn\/latest\/build.zip -O ossn.zip\r\nunzip ossn.zip -d \/var\/www\/html\/\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Create a new MySQL database and user for OSSN:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -u root -p\r\nmysql&gt; SET GLOBAL sql_mode='';\r\nmysql&gt; CREATE DATABASE ossndb;\r\nmysql&gt; CREATE USER 'ossnuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'y0ur-pAssW0RD';\r\nmysql&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ossndb.* TO 'ossnuser'@'localhost';\r\nmysql&gt; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nmysql&gt; quit<\/pre>\n<p>Do not forget to replace &#8216;y0ur-pAssW0RD&#8217; with a strong password.<\/p>\n<p>Edit the PHP configuration file (\/etc\/php\/7.0\/cli\/php.ini):<\/p>\n<pre>vi \/etc\/php\/7.0\/cli\/php.ini<\/pre>\n<p>and modify these lines:<\/p>\n<pre>allow_url_fopen = On\r\nfile_uploads = On\r\nupload_max_filesize = 32M<\/pre>\n<p>OSSN needs a directory for storing the uploaded files such as images. For security reasons we will create this directory outside of the document root directory:<\/p>\n<pre>mkdir -p \/var\/www\/ossndatadir<\/pre>\n<p>All files have to be readable by the web server, so set a proper ownership:<\/p>\n<pre>chown www-data:www-data -R \/var\/www\/html\/ossn\/<\/pre>\n<p>Create a new virtual host directive in Apache. For example, create a new Apache configuration file named \u2018ossn.conf\u2019 on your virtual server:<\/p>\n<pre>touch \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/ossn.conf\r\nln -s \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/ossn.conf \/etc\/apache2\/sites-enabled\/ossn.conf\r\nvi \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/ossn.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Then, add the following lines:<\/p>\n<pre>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;\r\nServerAdmin admin@your-domain.com\r\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/ossn\/\r\nServerName your-domain.com\r\nServerAlias www.your-domain.com\r\n&lt;Directory \/var\/www\/html\/ossn\/&gt;\r\nOptions FollowSymLinks\r\nAllowOverride All\r\nOrder allow,deny\r\nallow from all\r\n&lt;\/Directory&gt;\r\nErrorLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/your-domain.com-error_log\r\nCustomLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/your-domain.com-access_log common\r\n&lt;\/VirtualHost&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Remove the 000-default.conf file:<\/p>\n<pre>rm \/etc\/apache2\/sites-enabled\/000-default.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n<pre>service apache2 restart<\/pre>\n<p>Open your favorite web browser, navigate to http:\/\/your-domain.com\/ , <span class=\"st\">verify that all installation prerequisites are met and the OSSN installer should be starting. You should follow the easy instructions on the install screen inserting the necessary information as requested. Do not forget to set data directory to &#8216;\/var\/www\/ossndatadir&#8217;.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That is it. The Open Source Social Network has been installed on your server.<\/p>\n<p>Log in to the OSSN administration back-end at http:\/\/your-domain.com\/administrator and configure OSSN according to your needs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19872\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ossn-back-end-300x146.png\" alt=\"ossn back-end\" width=\"300\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ossn-back-end-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ossn-back-end-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ossn-back-end-1024x497.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/ossn-back-end.png 1217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to do any of this if you use one of our <a title=\"Linux VPS Hosting\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/ossn-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OSSN VPS Hosting<\/a> services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to <strong>install Open Source Social Network<\/strong> for you.
