Newznab Install Ubuntu 14.04

sudo gnome-terminal

cd /var
mkdir www
cd www
mkdir newznab
chmod 777 /var/www/newznab

cd back to root
Install PHP.

apt-get install php5 php5-dev php-pear
apt-get install php5-gd php5-mysql php5-curl

The next thing we need to do is edit the PHP configuration

gedit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

Change these settings:
register_globals = Off i think Off is default mine were already set to Off
max_execution_time = 120
memory_limit = -1
date.timezone = Europe/London

apt-get install mysql-server-5.5
apt-get install mysql-client-5.5
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

sudo apt-get install -y apache2
sudo gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

Change these settings:
register_globals = Off i think Off is default mine was already set to Off
max_execution_time = 120
memory_limit = -1
date.timezone = Europe/London

Create the site configuration file for Apache

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/newznab.conf

Paste this into the file and save it.

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName localhost
# These paths should be fine
DocumentRoot /var/www/newznab/www
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel warn
ServerSignature Off
#

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
Require all granted

# Alias /covers /var/www/newznab/recources/covers

Now we need to disable the default Apache settings, enable the one we just created for Newznab and enable modrewrite:

In /etc/apache2/sites-available the Newznab file must be called newznab.conf

sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo a2ensite newznab
sudo service apache2 restart
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart

sudo apt-get install unrar
