REDAXO is a popular open source content management system that enables you to build highly customizable websites with ease. In this tutorial, we will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to install REDAXO on Elementary OS Latest.
Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
Before we start installing REDAXO, it is essential to ensure that your system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
This command will update and upgrade all the applications on your system.
REDAXO requires a webserver to run, and the Apache web server is a popular choice. To install Apache, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install apache2 -y
Once the installation is complete, start the Apache service and enable it to start automatically on boot:
sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl enable apache2
REDAXO requires a database to store its data, and MySQL is an excellent choice for this. To install MySQL, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt install mysql-server -y
Once the installation is complete, start the MySQL service and enable it to start automatically on boot:
sudo systemctl start mysql
sudo systemctl enable mysql
Before we can install REDAXO, we need to create a new MySQL user and database. Run the following commands in your terminal to create a new MySQL user and database:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE redaxo;
CREATE USER 'redaxouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redaxo.* TO 'redaxouser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Make sure to replace "yourpassword" with a strong password.
REDAXO is written in PHP, so we need to install the PHP language and some required extensions. Run the following command in your terminal to install PHP and required extensions:
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-xml php-mbstring -y
Once the installation is complete, restart the Apache service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now that we have installed all the necessary components, we can download and install REDAXO. Run the following commands in your terminal to download and install REDAXO:
cd /var/www/html
sudo wget https://www.redaxo.org/_media/downloads/redaxo5_x.x.x.zip
sudo unzip redaxo5_x.x.x.zip
sudo mv redaxo5_x.x.x redaxo
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data redaxo
Make sure to replace "x.x.x" with the latest version of REDAXO available.
Finally, navigate to http://your_server_ip/redaxo/setup.php in your web browser, and you should see the REDAXO installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed REDAXO on your Elementary OS system. You can now start building your website using REDAXO. If you face any issues during the installation process, feel free to ask for help in the REDAXO community forums or consult the official REDAXO documentation.
