To deploy A-List on CentOS, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install necessary software: Install required software packages on CentOS, including Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Use the following commands to install them:
  2. Install Apache, MySQL, PHP, and PHP-MySQL on the system using the yum package manager with sudo.
  3. Configure the Apache server: Edit the configuration file of Apache to point to the root directory of A-List. By default, the Apache configuration file is located at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Open it with a text editor and make the necessary changes.
  4. Download A-List: Download the latest version from the official website of A-List and unzip it into the Apache root directory. You can use the following command to unzip A-List into the /var/www/html directory:
  5. Unzip the file “alist.tar.gz” and extract its contents to the directory “/var/www/html” using the sudo command.
  6. Create a database: Use MySQL to set up a new database and create a new user and password for A-List. To access the MySQL server, you can log in using the following commands:
  7. Login to the MySQL database as the root user.
  8. Then set up a new database.
  9. Establish a database named ‘alist’.
  10. Create a new user and assign relevant permissions.
  11. Create a user named ‘alist_user’ with the password ‘password’ for localhost, grant all privileges on the database ‘alist’ to that user, and then flush privileges.
  12. Configure A-List: Copy the config-sample.php file from the root directory of A-List and rename it as config.php. Use a text editor to open the file and make any necessary modifications to database connection information and other settings.
  13. Set file permissions: Make sure the A-List directory and files have appropriate permissions so that the web server can access them. You can use the following command to change the owner and group:
  14. Change the ownership of the directory /var/www/html/alist and all its contents to be owned by the user apache and the group apache.
  15. Start services: Launch Apache and MySQL services, and configure them to start automatically on system boot.
  16. Initiate the HTTP service, commence the MySQL service, activate the HTTP service, and enable the MySQL service using systemctl.

After following the above steps, A-List should be successfully deployed on CentOS. You can verify the deployment by accessing the server’s IP address or domain name in a web browser.
