Install Prosper202 on Ubuntu 20.04 VPS
Open up Putty and login to the server with administration username for the domain. It’s the username you saw on Edit Virtual Server screen when creating the virtual server with Virtualmin. Then change to the public_html directory for the domain.
cd $HOME/public_html
And then run following commands to download and install latest paid version of Prosper202.
wget -O prosper202.zip http://my.tracking202.com/clickserver/download/latest unzip prosper202.zip rm prosper202.zip
This will download paid version of Prosper202. If you want free version, you can get it from Github with following commands,
git init git remote add origin https://github.com/tjosm/Prosper202-1.9.29.git git pull origin new_branch
Now open your domain in browser. If your DNS is properly configured, you’ll see Prosper202 web installer on your domain. Follow the instructions to complete the installation. You’ll be asked for the MySQL database name, MySQL Username and MySQL password. You can obtain MySQL credentials from Virtualmin.
You’ll be taken to final step of the installation after submitting MySQL credentials. This is where you can create your Prosper202 account.
Congratulations!! You now have a superfast Prosper202 clickserver. Login to your Prosper202 and start tracking.
