Install LAMP Server<\/h2>\n
CMS Made Simple is runs on web server, written in PHP and uses MySQL as a database, so you will need to install LAMP server to your server. First, install Apache and MariaDB server by running the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server -y<\/p>\n
By default, the latest version of the PHP is not available in Ubuntu 18.04, so you will need to add the repository for that. You can add it with the following command:<?p><\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties -y
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej\/php<\/p>\nOnce the repository is updated, you can install PHP and other libraries with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-common php7.1-mbstring php7.1-xmlrpc php7.1-soap php7.1-gd php7.1-xml php7.1-intl php7.1-mysql php7.1-cli php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-zip php7.1-curl -y<\/p>\n
Once all the packages are installed, start Apache and MariaDB service and enable them to start on boot with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl enable mysql<\/p>\nNext, you will need to make some changes in php.ini file. You can do this with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/php\/7.1\/apache2\/php.ini<\/p>\n
Make the following changes:<\/p>\n
max_execution_time = 180 \nmemory_limit = 256M \npost_max_size = 25M \nupload_max_file_size = 150M \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, when you are finished.<\/p>\n
Configure Database<\/h2>\n
By default, MariaDB installation is not secured. So you will need to secure it first. You can do this by running the mysql_secure_installation script.<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/p>\n
Answer all the questions as shown below:<\/p>\n
Enter current password for root (enter for none): Enter \nSet root password? [Y\/n]: Y \nNew password:
\nRe-enter new password: \nRemove anonymous users? [Y\/n]: Y \nDisallow root login remotely? [Y\/n]: Y \nRemove test database and access to it? [Y\/n]: Y \nReload privilege tables now? [Y\/n]: Y \n<\/your-password><\/your-password><\/pre>\n Next, log into MariaDB shell with the following command:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
Enter your root password, then create a database and user for CMSMS:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE cmsms_db;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cmsms_db.* TO ‘cmsms’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;<\/p>\nNext, flush the privileges with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/p>\n
Finally, exit from the MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> exit;<\/p>\n
Install CMSMS<\/h2>\n
Next, you will need to download the latest version of the CMSMS from their official website. You can also download it with the following command:<\/p>\n
wget http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/cmsms\/downloads\/14144\/cmsms-2.2.7-install.zip<\/p>\n
Once the download is completed, extract the downloaded file to the Apache root directory:<\/p>\n
sudo unzip cmsms-2.2.7-install.zip -d \/var\/www\/html\/cmsms<\/p>\n
Next, give proper permission to the cmsms directory:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/cmsms\/
sudo chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/html\/cmsms\/<\/p>\nNext, create an apache virtual host directive for CMSMS:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/cmsms.conf<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/cmsms ServerName yourdomain.com <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/cmsms\/> \nOptions +FollowSymLinks \nAllowOverride All \nOrder allow,deny \nallow from all <\/Directory> ErrorLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/cmsms-error_log CustomLog \/var\/log\/apache2\/cmsms-access_log common \n<\/VirtualHost> \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, then enable virtual host file and apache rewrite module with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite cmsms
sudo a2enmod rewrite<\/p>\nFinally, restart apache service to apply all the changes:<\/p>\n
systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\n
