Today we will show you how to install SEO Panel on an Ubuntu 14.04 Cloud VPS using Apache web-server and MySQL database.
Seo Panel – A complete open source SEO control panel for managing search engine optimization of your websites. Seo Panel is an SEO toolkit that includes latest hot SEO tools to increase and track the performance of your websites. Anyone can easily develop and install required plugins for their SEO panel. It is fairly easy to install SEO Panel on an Ubuntu 14.04 Cloud VPS. The installation process should take about 5-10 minutes if you follow the very easy steps described below.
At the time of writing this tutorial, SEO Panel 3.9.0 is the latest stable version available and it requires:
– Apache web server;
– PHP (version >= 4.0.0 and < 7.0.0);
– MySQL(version 5.1 or higher) installed on your Linux Cloud VPS;
INSTRUCTIONS:
Log in to your VPS via SSH
ssh user@vps
Update the system
[user]$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
Install MariaDB 10.0
To install MariaDB, run the following command:
[user]$ sudo apt-get install -y mariadb-server
Next, we need to create a database for our SEO Panel installation.
[user]$ mysql -u root -p MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE seopanel; MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON seopanel.* TO 'seopaneluser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password'; MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; MariaDB [(none)]> \q
Do not forget to replace ‘your-password’ with a strong password.
Install Apache2 web server
[user]$ sudo apt-get install apache2
Install PHP and required PHP modules
To install the latest stable version of PHP version 5 and all necessary modules, run:
[user]$ sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-gd php5-curl
Download and extract the latest version of SEO Panel on your server:
[user]$ sudo cd /opt && wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/seopanel/Seopanel.v3/seopanel.v.3.9.0.zip [user]$ sudo unzip seopanel.v.3.9.0.zip [user]$ sudo mv seopanel/ /var/www/html/
All files have to be readable by the web server, so we need to set a proper ownership
[user]$ sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/html/seopanel/
Create a new virtual host directive in Apache. For example, create a new Apache configuration file named ‘seopanel.conf’ on your virtual server:
[user]$ sudo touch /etc/apache2/sites-available/seopanel.conf [user]$ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/seopanel.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/seopanel.conf [user]$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/seopanel.conf
Then, add the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/html/seopanel/ ServerName your-domain.com ServerAlias www.your-domain.com <Directory /var/www/html/seopanel/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-error_log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-access_log common </VirtualHost>
Restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect:
[user]$ sudo service apache2 restart
Open your favorite web browser, navigate to http://your-domain.com/ and if you configured everything correctly the SEO Panel installer should be starting. You should follow the easy instructions on the install screen inserting the necessary information as requested.
After everything is completed, delete the install directory:
[user]$ sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/seopanel/install/
Note: Please change the password of admin after your first login.
That is it. The SEO Panel installation is now complete.
Of course you don’t 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 SEO Panel for you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately.
