Install Apache, PHP and MariaDB<\/h2>\n
Before starting, you will need to install Apache, MariaDB and PHP to your server. First, install Apache and MariaDB server using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server -y<\/p>\n
Next, you will need to add the ondrej repository in order to install the latest version of PHP. You can add it with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/p>\nOnce the repository is installed, update the repository and install PHP along with all the libraries using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-xml php7.2-cli php7.2-zip php7.2-common php7.2-sqlite php7.2-curl php7.2-intl php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-mysql php7.2-gd wget unzip -y<\/p>\nOnce all the packages are installed, open php.ini file and make some changes:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/php\/7.2\/apache2\/php.ini<\/p>\n
Make the following changes:<\/p>\n
memory_limit = 256M \nupload_max_filesize = 100M \nmax_execution_time = 360 \nfile_uploads = On \ndate.timezone = Asia\/Kolkata \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, when you are finished.<\/p>\n
Next, start Apache and MariaDB server and enable them to start on boot with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb<\/p>\nConfigure Database<\/h2>\n
Before configuring MariaDB, secure MariaDB installation using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/p>\n
This script will set root password, remove anonymous users, disallow root login remotely and remove test database as shown below:<\/p>\n
Set root password? [Y\/n] n \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<\/pre>\n
Once MariaDB is secured, log in to MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n
Enter your root password then create a database and user for Fork CMS:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE forkcmsdb;
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER ‘forkcms’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;<\/p>\nNext, grant privileges to the Fork CMS database with the following command:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON forkcmsdb.* TO ‘forkcms’@’localhost’;<\/p>\n
Next, run the FLUSH PRIVILEGES command so that the privileges table will be reloaded by MariaDB:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/p>\n
Finally, exit from the MariaDB shell:<\/p>\n
MariaDB [(none)]> EXIT<\/p>\n
Install Fork CMS<\/h2>\n
First, download the latest version of the Fork CMS from their official website using the following command:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/html\/
wget https:\/\/www.fork-cms.com\/frontend\/files\/releases\/forkcms-5.2.3.tar.gz<\/p>\nNext, extract the downloaded file with the following command:<\/p>\n
tar -xvzf forkcms-5.2.3.tar.gz<\/p>\n
Next, change the ownership of forkcms directory:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/forkcms\/
sudo chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/html\/forkcms\/<\/p>\nNext, create an apache virtual host file for Fork CMS:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/forkcms.conf<\/p>\n
Add the following lines:<\/p>\n
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/forkcms ServerName example.com ServerAlias www.example.com \n <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/forkcms\/> Options FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All Require all granted <\/Directory> \n ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/access.log combined \n \n<\/VirtualHost> \n<\/pre>\n
Save and close the file, when you are finished.<\/p>\n
Next, enable apache virtual host file and rewrite module with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo a2ensite forkcms.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite<\/p>\nFinally, restart Apache service to apply all the changes:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart apache2<\/p>\n
