Download videosnarf from http://ucsniff.sourceforge.net/videosnarf.html. Note for 64 bits architectures: Some codec libraries are proprietary and are only for 32bits architecture. The only solution in this case is this: http://forum.xplico.org/viewtopic.php?p=453#p453

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ucsniff/videosnarf/videosnarf-0.63.tar.gz
tar xvzf videosnarf-0.63.tar.gz
cd videosnarf-0.63
./configure
make
cd ..
cp videosnarf-0.63/src/videosnarf xplico-0.6.x

Install Xplico

cd xplico-0.6.x
make install

Copy Apache configuration file

cp /opt/xplico/cfg/apache_xi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/xplico

After this we have to change Apache ports file to add port of XI. Then, in /etc/apache2/ports.conf add:

# xplico Host port
NameVirtualHost *:9876
Listen 9876

The directory /opt/xplico/cfg must be read/write for Apache webserver.
We must also modify the php.ini file to allow uploads (pcap) files. Edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.

The lines to modify are:
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M

Enable mode rewrite in Apache:

a2enmod rewrite

And finally restart Apache:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
