Lets going to the installation process. Before if you install OsTicket system then install ubuntu 16.04.  You can install two ways such as self-hosted and cloud hosted. Now I have to configure self-hosted.

Step #01: Must be your server update and upgrade.

root@OsTicket:~# apt-get update  &&  apt-get upgrade -y

If you can see an error then fix it. Edit your  /etc/resolv.conf file and enter google public name server name as like

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Then save and exit.

Step #02: Now install web server nginx and php. All command as follows

root@OsTicket:~# apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql php7.0-cli php7.0-mysql php7.0-cgi php7.0-fpm php7.0-gd php7.0-imap php7.0-xml php7.0-mbstring php7.0-intl php-apcu zip -y

When popup mysql password then enter two times for configure mysql root password.

All configure are ok then restart some services

root@OsTicket:~# service apache2 restart

Start mysql service command

root@OsTicket:~# systemctl restart mysql

root@OsTicket:~# systemctl enable apache2

Enable mysql database server

root@OsTicket:~# systemctl enable mysql

Step #03: Create databases for store my all data into mysql server.

root@OsTicket:~# mysql -u root -p

Then type mysql password and then create database command below:

mysql> create database osticketdb;
mysql> create user osticket@localhost identified by 'password';
mysql> grant all privileges on osticketdb.* to osticket@localhost identified by 'password';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit;

Then restart mysql service

root@OsTicket:~# service mysql restart

Step #05: Download OsTicket zip file and upload your ubuntu server location on /var/www/html/

Now configure osticket server config file on location below

or download via command line

root@OsTicket:~# mv upload/ /var/www/html
root@OsTicket:~# mv scripts/ /var/www/html

root@OsTicket:~# cd /var/www/html/upload/include/

Copy ost-sampleconfig.php to ost-config.php or another name command below.

root@OsTicket:/var/www/html/upload/include# cp ost-sampleconfig.php ost-config.php

Change file ownership for www-data

root@OsTicket:/var/www/html/upload/include# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/

Setup config.php permission

root@OsTicket:/var/www/html/upload/include# chmod 0644 ost-config.php
