REDAXO is a content management system that allows you to create and manage websites with ease. It's open source and can be downloaded from https://www.redaxo.org. In this tutorial, we'll see how to install REDAXO on Clear Linux Latest, step-by-step.
It's always a good idea to update your system before installing any new software. To do that, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd update
Enter your password if prompted and wait for the process to finish.
REDAXO requires a web server and PHP to run. We'll install Apache and PHP using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add apache php
This command installs a bundle that includes Apache web server and PHP.
REDAXO also requires a database. We'll use MariaDB as our database. To install MariaDB, use the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add mariadb
After installing Apache, we need to enable it and start the service using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
After installing MariaDB, we need to enable it and start the service using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
We also need to create a new database and user for REDAXO. To do that, follow the steps below:
Open a terminal and run the following command to log in to MariaDB as the root user:
sudo mysql -u root
After logging in, create a new database for REDAXO:
CREATE DATABASE redaxo;
Create a new user for REDAXO with a secure password:
CREATE USER 'redaxo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Replace 'password' with a secure password of your choice.
Grant full privileges to the new user on the redaxo database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redaxo.* TO 'redaxo'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges to save the changes:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MariaDB client:
exit;
Go to REDAXO's official website at https://www.redaxo.org/en/download/ and download the latest version of REDAXO.
After downloading the file, extract it to the web server's document root directory using the following command:
sudo tar -xvf redaxo-x.y.z.zip -C /var/www/html/
Replace 'x.y.z' with the version number that you downloaded.
Change the ownership of the REDAXO directory to the Apache user and group using the following commands:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/redaxo/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/redaxo/
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost/redaxo/setup/. The REDAXO installation wizard will start.
Follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed REDAXO on Clear Linux Latest. You can now create and manage your website using REDAXO.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
