Chamilo is a free software for e-learning. Chamilo runs on a LAMP server and easy to install. There are several LMS (learning management system) and similar software but Chamilo is easier and popular. Here is How to Install Chamilo on Ubuntu Server. Any learning management system (LMS) provides way for administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of educational courses or training programs.

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 :

Vim

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.
