Hosting platform requirements

2025-07-22T16:31:27Z

John:

StageCraft has the following requirements to run on a 3rd party hosting platform.

=Webserver (HTTP)=
StageCraft was written to work with Apache HTTPD v2 or later. It uses mod_rewrite rules that are baked into the application. In theory, it will work with Nginx. But you will need to translate the rewrite rules first.
==SSL==
SSL is required at all times. StageCraft will refuse to send or receive any data over unencrypted methods.

=PHP=
StageCraft currently requires PHP 8.1 to function. This is due to a limitation with the two-factor library. We do plan to overcome this limitation shortly.
==Extensions==
* php-mysql
* php-xml
* php-json
* php-imap

=Database=
We have designed StageCraft to work with either MariaDB or MySQL. We do use MariaDB in testing and development.

=SMTP=
A valid SMTP server is required to send emails; this must be using either SSL or STARTTLS.

=IMAP=
StageCraft can receive emails via an IMAP mailbox. This must be either over SSL or STARTTLS.

In this wiki post. We will guide you through installing StageCraft on a blank Linux VPS. This post will assume that you already have your fully qualified domain name FQDN set up for your domain/subdomain.

=Install updates=

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

=Install basic packages=

sudo apt install sudo htop curl wget net-tools

=Setup PHP's repo=

sudo apt install -y lsb-release ca-certificates apt-transport-https software-properties-common gnupg2

echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sury-php.list

curl -fsSL https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg| sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sury-keyring.gpg

sudo apt update

=Install packages=

sudo apt apache2 php8.1 php8.1-xml php8.1-zip php8.1-curl php8.1-mbstring php8.1-mysql mariadb-server

=Install Iocube=

cd /tmp

wget https://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz

tar zxf ioncube_loaders_lin_x86-64.tar.gz

cd ioncube

Find the extension dir:

php -i | grep extension_dir

cp ioncube_loader_lin_8.1.so EXTENSION_DIR_HERE

Edit the config file:

sudo nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini

Add this line:

zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20190902/ioncube_loader_lin_7.4.so

Restart apache2:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

=Install FTP server=

sudo apt install vsftpd -y

Edit the config file: sudo nano ''/etc/vsftpd.conf''

Add these lines at the bottom:

local_root=/var/www/html
write_enable=yes
local_umask=002

Restart the service:

sudo systemctl restart vsftpd

Set the folder permissions:

sudo usermod -a -G $(whoami) www-data
sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) /var/www/html
sudo find /var/www/html -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
sudo find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
sudo chmod g+s /var/www/html

=Setup the database=

Enter MariaDB:

sudo mysql -u root

Run the following SQL:

CREATE DATABASE `stagecraft`;
CREATE USER 'stagecraft'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON stagecraft.* TO 'stagecraft'@'localhost';

=Enable SSL=

Enable apache's SSL module: ```sudo a2enmod ssl```
Enable the default ssl site: ```sudo a2ensite default-ssl```
Restart apache ```sudo systemctl restart apache2```

=Enable mod_rewrite=
