Install OS4X on Ubuntu 20
General
Ubuntu 20.x is supported by the automatic OS4X installer since build 2016-11-24. Older versions lack the ability to support various features of this modern operating system.
Packages
You need the following packages to be installed:
apt-get install apache2 \ mysql-server \ libapache2-mod-php \ php-mysql \ php-xml \ xsltproc \ zip
Special installation parameter
When running the automated installer script, you will have to use "localhost
" instead of "127.0.0.1
" in the default MySQL installation (since the MySQL user "root
" isn't allowed for 127.0.01, but for localhost). You'll get the following error otherwise:
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost
Configuration
PHP
The PHP configuration must be extended in order to use big file uploads. Edit the configuration file
/etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini
and set these values:
upload_max_filesize = 128M post_max_size = 128M
Don't forget to restart Apache afterwards:
service apache2 restart
SystemD integration
Download the source tarball from https://cdn.c-works.de/fileadmin/downloads/os4x.systemd.tar, extract it /tmp. Then, copy over the files:
- cp /tmp/etc/init.d/os4x /etc/init.d/
- cp /tmp/etc/systemd/system/os4x.service /etc/systemd/system
