BigTree CMS is a PHP-based content management system that allows you to create and manage websites easily. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install BigTree CMS on Debian latest.
Before starting with the installation process, it is recommended to update your system to the latest version:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
BigTree CMS requires a few packages to be installed before installation. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apt install apache2 php7.3 php7.3-mysql mysql-server
Create a new database and user for BigTree CMS:
sudo mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE bigtree;
mysql> CREATE USER 'bigtree_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bigtree.* TO 'bigtree_user'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT
Download the latest version of BigTree CMS from their website or GitHub repository:
sudo wget -O bigtree.zip https://github.com/bigtreecms/BigTree-CMS/archive/master.zip
sudo unzip bigtree.zip -d /var/www/html/
sudo mv /var/www/html/BigTree-CMS-master /var/www/html/bigtree
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/bigtree
We need to create a new Apache configuration file for BigTree CMS:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/bigtree.conf
Add the following line to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/bigtree/public
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. Enable the site and reload the Apache configuration:
sudo a2ensite bigtree.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name. You will see the BigTree CMS installation page. Follow the installation wizard and enter the MySQL database details you created earlier.
At this point, you have successfully installed BigTree CMS on Debian latest. You can now start creating and managing websites using BigTree CMS.
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!
