Microweber is an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows you to create and manage your website without any technical skills. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Microweber on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
To update the system and ensure that all the packages are up-to-date, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the process to complete.
Microweber requires an Apache web server to run. To install the Apache web server, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the installation to complete.
Microweber also requires PHP to run. To install PHP, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the installation to complete.
Microweber also requires a database management system to store its data. We will be using MariaDB for this purpose. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the installation to complete.
After installing MariaDB, you need to configure it by running the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
The command will ask you to set a root password, remove anonymous users, disable remote root login, and remove test databases. Follow the prompts and answer them accordingly.
To install Microweber, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S microweber
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the installation to complete.
After installing Microweber, you need to configure Apache by creating a virtual host configuration file. To do that, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-microweber.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain-name.com
DocumentRoot /usr/share/webapps/microweber
<Directory /usr/share/webapps/microweber>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace your-domain-name.com with your actual domain name.
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, followed by Y, and then Enter.
Next, enable the newly created virtual host configuration by running the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-microweber.conf /etc/httpd/conf/sites-enabled/
Finally, restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-domain-name.com to access Microweber. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Microweber 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!
