Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure your system is up to date by running the following command:

sudo pacman -Syyu

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

The first step is to install Apache and PHP on the system. Run the following command to install them:

sudo pacman -S apache php php-apache

Step 2: Install MariaDB

Roadiz requires a database to store information. Install MariaDB with the following command:

sudo pacman -S mariadb

After installing MariaDB, start and enable it with the following commands:

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 3: Create a database and user

Log into the MariaDB server using the following command:

sudo mysql -u root

Create a new database and user with the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE roadiz;
CREATE USER 'roadiz'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roadiz.* TO 'roadiz'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace 'password' with a strong password for the user.

Step 4: Install Roadiz

Download the latest version of Roadiz from the official website at https://www.roadiz.io/download/. Extract the downloaded file to the Apache root directory with the following command:

sudo tar -xvf roadiz-full-5.5.0.tar.gz -C /srv/http/

Replace 'roadiz-full-5.5.0.tar.gz' with the name of the downloaded file.

Step 5: Configure Apache

Create a new Apache configuration file for Roadiz with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/roadiz.conf

Add the following lines to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot "/srv/http/roadiz"
    ServerName example.com
    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/roadiz-error_log"

        Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace 'example.com' with your domain name or IP address.

Enable the new configuration file with the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/roadiz.conf /etc/httpd/conf/available/
