The downloaded package is a zip file, so we need to unzip the package using the following command.

[root@linuxhelp1 user1]# unzip download -d e107

Move the file to apache document root directory.

[root@linuxhelp1 user1]# mv e107 /var/www/

Switch to the directory as follows.

[root@linuxhelp1 user1]# cd /var/www/

Next, we need to change the ownership and permission of the file.

[root@linuxhelp1 www]# chown -R apache.apache e107
 [root@linuxhelp1 www]# chmod -R 775 e107

We have to create a new virtual host configuration for accessing the E107 application.

[root@linuxhelp1 www]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/e107.conf
< VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/e107/

< Directory /var/www/e107/> 
AllowOverride All
allow from all
< /Directory> 

< /VirtualHost> 

Then we need to restart the httpd service.

[root@linuxhelp1 www]# systemctl restart httpd

Now you can proceed the further installation and configuration from the browser by navigating to the following URL: http://< ipaddress or domain name.

Configure the installation setup. Choose the language and click continue.

Configure the database setup and continue.

Verify the MySQL connection and database creation.
