Move the file to the Apache document root directory.

[root@linuxhelp1 user1]# mv epesi-1.8.2-20170430 /var/www/

Switch to the following directory.

[root@linuxhelp1 user1]# cd /var/www/

Change the ownership and permission of the Epesi directory.

[root@linuxhelp1 www]# chown -R apache.apache epesi-1.8.2-20170430
[root@linuxhelp1 www]# chmod -R 775 epesi-1.8.2-20170430

Now we have to create a new virtualhost configuration to access the Epesi Application.

[root@linuxhelp1 www]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/epesi.conf
< VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/epesi-1.8.2-20170430/

< Directory /var/www/epesi-1.8.2-20170430/> 
AllowOverride All
allow from all
< /Directory> 

< /VirtualHost> 

Next, we need to make a change in the php.ini configuration file as follows.

[root@linuxhelp1 www]# vim /etc/php.ini 
 [..]
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
display_errors = On
[..]

Then we need to restart the httpd service.

[root@linuxhelp1 www]# systemctl restart httpd
