Blog is an open-source blog platform that allows users to publish and manage their blog online. Here's how to install it on Debian Latest.
Before installing Blog, you'll need the following:
If you don't have Apache installed, do so with the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
Install MySQL or MariaDB using the following command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Install PHP and its extensions using the following command:
sudo apt-get install php php-mysql php-curl php-mbstring php-gd
Install Git using the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
Clone Blog's repository from GitHub using Git:
git clone https://github.com/m1k1o/blog.git
Copy the contents of the cloned "blog" directory to your web server's root directory:
sudo cp -R blog/* /var/www/html/
Create a new MySQL database for Blog:
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE blog;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON blog.* TO 'bloguser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Replace "bloguser" and "password" with your own values.
Rename the "config.php.example" file to "config.php":
sudo mv /var/www/html/config.php.example /var/www/html/config.php
Use a text editor to modify the "config.php" file and update the database information:
sudo nano /var/www/html/config.php
Save and close the file when finished.
Set the correct permissions and ownership of the "upload" directory:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/upload/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/upload/
Restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo service apache2 restart
