Faveo Helpdesk Installation on CentOS 7 with Nginx on PHP 7.1
This document will list on how to install Faveo Helpdesk on a new CentOS server.
We will install following dependencies in order to make Faveo Help-Desk work
- NGINX
- PHP 7.1
- PHP Extensions: listed in server requirement
- MySQL/MariaDB
- Composer
- Cron Job
Read the detailed list of server requirement
We are using vi editor throughout to open and edit file, you can use nano editor also
Please note that you have to make changes in the iptables configurations. This allows to open ports that are necessary in Faveo installation.
This is an optional step, If you are able to access your server remotely on Public IP. This step will not be required. Mainly on local network server this step is required. If you are purchasing/renting server in a data centre this step might not be required.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 22 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 443 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
PS:
- You have to reset the firewall and iptables to your specifications
- This step might vary for different data centres or cloud service providers, Please check with your hosting company on opening port number and correct settings
useradd -r www-data
usermod -G www-data www-data
mkdir -p /home/www-data
rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-release.rpm
yum update -y
In this step we install following
- PHP and Extensions
- MariaDB
- Git
- Curl
- Openssl
yum install -y nginx git curl openssl php71w-cli.x86_64 php71w-common.x86_64 php71w-fpm.x86_64 php71w-gd.x86_64 php71w-mbstring.x86_64 php71w-mcrypt.x86_64 php71w-mysql.x86_64 php71w-odbc.x86_64 php71w-pdo.x86_64 php71w-xml.x86_64 mod_php71w php71w-opcache php71w-imap.x86_64 php71w-bcmath.x86_64
systemctl stop nginx && systemctl stop php-fpm
yum install mariadb-server mariadb
systemctl start mariadb
mysql_secure_installation
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE faveo;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON faveo.* TO 'faveouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'faveouserpass';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit
ionCube is not required for Community edition
cd /home
wget http://downloads3.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
tar xfz ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz
ls ioncube
php -i | grep extension_dir
Copy the Path for PHP modules according to your php v
cp ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_7.1.so /usr/lib64/php/modules
where /usr/lib64/php/modules/ will be the php module path directory
vi /etc/php.ini
Add the below line to php.ini file
zend_extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_7.1.so
systemctl restart nginx.service php-fpm.service
By checking php version we can verify the loader installed version
php -v
If ioncube loader is not working
Add the below line to php-fpm ini file
"zend_extension = /usr/lib64/php/modules/ioncube_loader_lin_7.1.so"
Faveo files can be manually uploaded to server or copied from Github, if you have access to Github account then use this step, else follow the next step
Create a folder for Faveo and upload Faveo Help-Desk Community
mkdir -p /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk
git clone https://github.com/ladybirdweb/faveo-helpdesk.git /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk
Incase you want to upload the Faveo files from your local system to your server and not use Github, then follow this step Download the Faveo zip file from our billing site https://www.faveohelpdesk.com Use a File transferring client like Filezilla,WinSCP to upload the files to our server directory. Open Filezilla and enter the root Credentials of the server and login.
Create a folder for faveo inside that in the path /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk
Make sure that you have extracted all the files under that folder /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk/
Now continue the process by logging in back to ssh terminal
Login to the File directory
scp faveo.zip username@destination:/opt/faveo
Once the transfer is completed unzip the faveo.zip file and rename it to faveo-helpdesk.
For unzip tool installation and unzipping you can use the below command
yum install -y unzip
then
unzip faveo.zip
chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/faveo
chmod -R 755 /opt/faveo
chmod -R 755 /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk
chmod -R 755 /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk/storage
chmod -R 755 /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk/bootstrap
Create copy of Nginx default config file
mv /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.back
wget -O /etc/nginx/nginx.conf https://www.faveohelpdesk.com/user-manual/code/centos7/nginx-conf.txt
Edit domain & create Nginx conf using vim editor
vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/faveo-helpdesk.conf
Paste the below code in your configuration.
upstream faveo_php {
server unix://opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk/faveo_php.socket;
}
server {
listen 80;
listen 127.0.0.1:80;

if (!-f $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) {
return 404;
}
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass faveo_php;
}
}
Remove default config file
rm -rf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
Create config file for PHP FPM using vim editor
vi /etc/php-fpm.d/faveo_php.conf
Paste the below content in the conf file.
[faveo_php]
user = www-data
group = www-data
listen = /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk/faveo_php.socket
listen.owner = www-data
listen.group = www-data
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 5
pm.start_servers = 2
pm.min_spare_servers = 1
pm.max_spare_servers = 3
chdir = /
Save and exit
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
Path can vary according to your server. This cron is set for every 1 minute fetching.
crontab -u www-data -e
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
service mariadb restart
systemctl restart nginx.service php-fpm.service
##ERROR: unable to bind listening socket for address '/opt/faveo/faveo-helpdesk/faveo_php If you get this error while run a command systemctl start php-fpm.service. Then run a commands
SELINUX=enforcing
setenforce 0
