This tutorial assumes you have at least basic knowledge of linux, know how to use the shel. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Rukovoditel on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) server.

Step 1. First make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2. Install LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, PHP) server.

A Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP server is required. If you do not have LAMP installed, you can follow our guide here and install all necessary modules, run:

apt-get install php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mbstring php7.0-curl php7.0-zip php7.0-gd php7.0-mysql php7.0-mcrypt

Step 3. Installing Rukovoditel.

First thing to do is to go to Rukovoditel’s download page and download the latest stable version of Rukovoditel, At the moment of writing this article it is version 1.7.1:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/rukovoditel/rukovoditel_1.7.1.zip

Unpack the Rukovoditel archive to the document root directory on your server:

unzip rukovoditel_1.7.1.zip -d rukovoditel
mv rukovoditel/ /var/www/html/rukovoditel

We will need to change some folders permissions:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/rukovoditel

Step 4. Configuring MariaDB for Rukovoditel.

By default, MariaDB is not hardened. You can secure MariaDB using the mysql_secure_installation script. You should read and below each steps carefully which will set root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove the test database and access to secure MariaDB.

mysql_secure_installation

Configure it like this:

- Set root password? [Y/n] y
- Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
- Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
- Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

Next we will need to log in to the MariaDB console and create a database for the Rukovoditel:

mysql -u root -p

This will prompt you for a password, so enter your MariaDB root password and hit Enter:

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE rukovoditel;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rukovoditel.* TO 'rukovoditeluser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> \q

Step 5. Configuring Apache web server for Rukovoditel.

Create a new virtual host directive in Apache. For example, create a new Apache configuration file named ‘rukovoditel.conf’ on your virtual server:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
touch /etc/apache2/sites-available/rukovoditel.conf
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/rukovoditel.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/rukovoditel.conf
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/rukovoditel.conf

Add the following lines:

ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/rukovoditel/"
ServerName your-domain.com
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com
<Directory "/var/www/html/rukovoditel/">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-access_log common

Now, we can restart Apache web server so that the changes take place:

systemctl restart apache2.service
