Download, Extract, and Configure osTicket

~$ sudo mkdir -p /opt/osticket
~$ sudo wget -P /tmp/ http://osticket.com/sites/default/files/download/osTicket-v1.9.12.zip

~$ sudo chown apache: -R /var/www/html/support /opt/osticket
~$ sudo cp /var/www/html/support/include/ost-sampleconfig.php /var/www/html/support/include/ost-config.php

Configure MariaDB

~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
MariaDB> create database osticketdb;
MariaDB> CREATE USER 'osticketuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
MariaDB> GRANT ALL ON osticketdb.* TO 'osticketuser'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
exit;

Doublecheck database & user creation, permissions and password

~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
MariaDB> SHOW DATABASES;
osticketdb
MariaDB> SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user;
osticketuser | localhost
MariaDB> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'osticketuser'@'localhost';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `osticketdb`.* TO 'osticketuser'@'localhost'
MariaDB> exit;
~$ sudo mysql -u osticketuser -p

Configure Apache

start and set to start on boot

~$ sudo systemctl start httpd.service
~$ sudo systemctl enable httpd.service

Create file vhosts.conf and insert configuration line

~$ sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf
IncludeOptional vhosts.d/*.conf

Create Virtual Host

~$ sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/vhosts.d/
~$ vi /etc/httpd/vhosts.d/support.yourdomain.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/support/"
ServerName support.yourdomain.com
ServerAlias www.support.yourdomain.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/yourdomain.com-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/yourdomain.com-access_log" combined
 
<Directory "/var/www/html/support/">
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache

~$ sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Disable SELinux

~$ sudo vi /etc/selinux/config
change SELinux=enforcing to SELinux=disabled

~$ sudo reboot

check status

~$ sestatus
SELinux status:                 disabled

Disable firewalld replace with iptables

~$ sudo systemctl mask firewalld
~$ sudo systemctl stop firewalld
~$ sudo yum -y install iptables-services
~$ sudo systemctl enable iptables
~$ sudo systemctl start iptables

Configure iptables

There are some defaults that should be removed and changed. Using a rule at the bottom of the chain to prohibit traffic instead of changing the default policy of the chain seems silly to me.

~$ sudo iptables -D INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
~$ sudo iptables -D FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
~$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 10.0.0.0/8 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -m comment --comment "ssh-limit internal"
~$ sudo iptables -D INPUT -s 0.0.0.0/0 -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
~$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 10.0.0.0/8 -p tcp -m multiport --dports 80,443 -j ACCEPT -m comment --comment "http/s-limit internal"
~$ sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP
~$ sudo iptables -P FORWARD DROP
~$ sudo service iptables save
