Krydos Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 Here is a guide I found on how to install PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 24 https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/databases/install-postgresql/ Here is a guide I found on how to install PHP https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-php-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-24-04 If you're not comfortable with SSH we could install a free control panel for you, but very few control panels include PostgreSQL so you'd likely need to install that via SSH anyways.
HelioHost Posted December 31, 2025 Author Posted December 31, 2025 Please install a free Control Panel.

HelioHost Posted December 31, 2025 Author Posted December 31, 2025 Also, you have mentioned that you can add a domain to my account.? Can you add a domain giks.heliohost.com?

Krydos Posted December 31, 2025 Posted December 31, 2025 I have started your VPS rebuilding with a free control panel. You'll get an email when it is done installing. Would you like giks.helioho.st or giks.heliohost.us? We don't own heliohost.com.
Krydos Posted December 31, 2025 Posted December 31, 2025 It looks like the free control panel has finished installing. You can login by going to https://vps92.heliohost.us:8083/login/ and using the username admin (not giks) and the same password as you picked when signing up on our website.
HelioHost Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 I tried to create giks.heliohost.us myself but I am not sure I did OK.? Can you help with this. Also Can you enable php on that domain?

wolstech Posted January 16 Posted January 16 We have to create the DNS zones for the heliohost subdomains on our side if you want them on a VPS. I've created the required DNS for that domain and pointed it your VPS, and it's now showing a "Coming soon" page. Not sure if that's the expected result or not. You should be able to set up PHP on that domain yourself since it's a VPS. If not, one of the VPS admins will need to handle that piece of setup for you.
Krydos Posted January 16 Posted January 16 The domain is working, and PHP is already enabled. It looks like it's using PHP 8.3 now http://giks.heliohost.us/phpinfo.php I recommend installing SSL next so you can access your domains via https. You can do that via the Hestia control panel. To put your files on this domain upload them to /home/user/web/giks.heliohost.us/public_html/ Let us know if you need help with anything.
HelioHost Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 Thank you very much! One more question is it possible that I access the database remotely from my computer?

Krydos Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Do you mean access the database via your browser? If so you can do so at https://vps92.heliohost.us/phpmyadmin/ Let us know if you mean something else.
HelioHost Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 From a database management tool such as DBeaver. Thanks, Adrian Barb?

Krydos Posted January 16 Posted January 16 The first step to allow remote database access is to allow port 3306 in the firewall. This is the command: /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-add-firewall-rule accept 0.0.0.0/0 3306 tcp The next step is to reconfigure MariaDB to listen for remote connections: nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf and change this line: bind-address = 127.0.0.1 to: bind-address = * then you need to restart MariaDB: systemctl restart mariadb Now you should be able to connect your DBeaver application with these settings: host=65.19.166.231 port=3306 username=<created in Hestia> password=<set in Hestia> I have done all of the above steps except creating the database and database user for you already, but if you need to do it yourself some day you know how now. You don't need our help to do this stuff because you have root access to the VPS and can run all of these commands yourself. If you're not sure what you're doing we're happy to help you learn though.
HelioHost Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 Thank you for this, of course it worked. I can connect from DBeaver. One more question. I am trying some php on my machine and I want to insert some data in the tables in the database "user_sorting" on your server.? The php code is on my machine, which I use for testing. When I try to establish the connection to the above database I get and error of permission denied. So I can connect from DBeaver but from php. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
