BigTree CMS is a powerful and flexible content management system that allows users to create and manage websites of different sizes and complexity. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install BigTree CMS on EndeavourOS Latest using a step-by-step approach.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:
Before installing BigTree, update and upgrade the system to get the latest security patches and bug fixes. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo pacman -Syu
After the system is updated, reboot the system if there are any kernel updates.
BigTree CMS requires some dependencies that need to be installed before we can install the CMS. Run the following command in the terminal to install the required dependencies:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache mariadb php-gd php-mysql php-curl php-mbstring xsel
This command will install Apache web server, PHP, MariaDB, and some other required PHP modules.
Download the latest version of BigTree CMS from the official website using the following command:
cd /tmp
wget https://www.bigtreecms.org/assets/files/release/bigtree-cms-latest.zip
Unzip the downloaded zip file to the webroot directory (/srv/http/) using the following command:
sudo unzip bigtree-cms-latest.zip -d /srv/http/
Now it's time to configure the Apache web server to make BigTree CMS accessible via the web browser. Open the Apache configuration file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following configuration at the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/srv/http/bigtree-cms"
ServerName example.com
<Directory "/srv/http/bigtree-cms">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your server domain name or IP address.
Save and close the file, then restart the Apache web server using the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
BigTree CMS requires a MySQL database to store website data. First, login to MariaDB using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password when prompted. Then create a new database and user using the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE bigtree;
CREATE USER 'bigtree_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bigtree.* TO 'bigtree_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace password with a strong password of your choice.
Now we can proceed to install BigTree CMS using the web installer. Open your web browser and navigate to http://example.com/install where example.com is your server domain name or IP address. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation, you will be prompted to enter the database details you created in the previous steps. Enter the right credentials and continue with the installation.
Once the installation is complete, remove the installer to prevent security risks. Delete or rename the install directory using the following commands:
sudo rm -rf /srv/http/bigtree-cms/install/
Or, you can rename the folder:
sudo mv /srv/http/bigtree-cms/install/ /srv/http/bigtree-cms/install_back/
BigTree CMS is now installed and ready to use. To access the backend admin panel, navigate to http://example.com/admin where example.com is your server domain name or IP address.
Log in using the admin login details you created during the installation process.
Congratulations! BigTree CMS has been successfully installed on EndeavourOS Latest.
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!
