OpenApp Symfony

Symfony is a web application framework written in PHP which follows the model-view-controller (MVC) paradigm. Released under the MIT license, Symfony is free software.

Symfony is aimed at building robust applications in an enterprise context, and aims to give developers full control over the configuration: from the directory structure to the foreign libraries, almost everything can be customized. To match enterprise development guidelines, Symfony is bundled with additional tools to help developers test, debug and document projects.

OpenApp Symphony is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and comes with:

Symfony 2
Apache2 with mod_php
Mysql server
Postfix
OpenPanel with mod-symfony, mod-mysql, mod-backup, mod-smtp
OpenApp Backup (more information)
OpenApp Tuning (more information)

Installing OpenApp Symphony

Please note that OpenApp always expects a clean install! Installing OpenApp packages on a non-clean system is likely to lead to data-loss or a non-functional system.

To install OpenApp Symphony, start with a minimal installation of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://download.openpanel.com/deb lucid main openapp

Then, as root, type:

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4EAC69B9
apt-get update
apt-get install openapp-nap

During the install, you will get some questions:

Postfix — configuration type
Select ‘Internet Site’ (press enter). OpenApp will configure postfix later on
Postfix — System mail name. This should be the hostname of your system and should already be entered (press enter). OpenApp can configure this later on

Once all packages have been installed, it is time to set a password for OpenPanel:

openpanel-cli "update user password=«your password»"

You can now login at https://«your ipaddress»:4089/ with the password entered in the previous step.
You are now in the OpenPanel-interface of your machine. Here, you can easily configure backups, outgoing email and optional software upgrades.
