How to Install Chamilo on Ubuntu Server

 

Steps to to Install Chamilo on Ubuntu Server

 

We need Apache web server, MySQL/MariaDB database server and PHP. All of these components installation has been shown as single individual guides for Ubuntu 18.04. So, you will :

  • follow our guide to install Apache web server
  • then install Percona MySQL
  • then install PHP

Now your LAMP server is ready. Login to the MySQL server as user root, using the password we entered in the previous guides :

mysql -u root -p
# create a new MySQL user and database
CREATE DATABASE chamilo;
# use real strong PASSWORD
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on chamilo.* to 'chamilouser'@'localhost' identified by 'PASSWORD';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Make sure that your PHP installation has php-mcrypt, php-intl, php-gd. In previous guides we shown to install everything, they are expected to be installed following those guides.

We will later create a directory named chamilo for the FTP files :

Vim
1
/var/www/html/chamilo

Create Apache virtual host directive for that directory and domain :

Vim
1
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/chamilo.conf

With the below content :

Vim
1
2
3

5
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/chamilo
    ServerName example.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/chamilo-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/chamilo-access_log common

Replace all occurrences of example.com with your domain name. Enable the virtual host directive using the following command:

Vim
1
a2ensite chamilo

and restart the web server for the changes to take effect :

Vim
1
systemctl restart apache2

You’ll find the latest version of Chamilo on Github :

Vim
1
https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/releases/

chamilo-1.11.8-php7.tar.gz is current at the time of writing this guide.

Vim

cd /var/www/html
wget https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/releases/download/v1.11.8/chamilo-1.11.8-php7.tar.gz
tar -xzvf chamilo-1.11.8-php7.tar.gz
rm chamilo-1.11.8-php7.tar.gz
# check the file name
ls -al
mv chamilo-1.11.8 chamilo

Now we have content at /var/www/html/chamilo. Change the ownership of the Chamilo files :

Vim
1
chown -R www-data:www-data chamilo

Now navigate your web browser to domain name or IP of server and follow the installation wizard to complete the Chamilo installation.
