SPIP is a content management system(CMS) that is designed for providing flexibility and efficency in developing websites using dynamic web publishing techniques. If you want to install SPIP on EndeavourOS Latest, follow the simple steps mentioned below:
Open the terminal and run the following commands to update the system:
sudo pacman -Syyu
This command will update the list of available packages and then upgrade the system.
Run the following command to install the Apache web server:
sudo pacman -S apache
Run the following command to install PHP and other libraries required for SPIP operation:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache sqlite
Run the following command to install MariaDB:
sudo pacman -S mariadb mariadb-clients
After installing MariaDB, you need to configure it using the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
First, download the latest stable version of SPIP from the official website. Once downloaded, extract the ZIP folder to a convenient location using the following command:
unzip spip-x.y.z.zip -d /var/www/html/
Here, x.y.z is the version number of SPIP.
Run the following command to create a database and user for SPIP:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your MariaDB root password and then run the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* TO 'username'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Here, replace dbname, username, and password with your desired values.
Navigate to the directory where you have extracted the SPIP files in step 5. Rename config-dist.php to config.php using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/spip-x.y.z/
mv config-dist.php config.php
Edit the config.php file using any text editor of your choice and change the following lines:
define('_FILE_CHMOD', 0666);
define('_DIR_CHMOD', 0777);
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'username';
$db_pass = 'password';
$db_name = 'dbname';
Here, replace username, password, and dbname with the values you have provided in step 6.
Edit the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Save the changes and exit the editor.
Run the following commands to start the Apache and MariaDB services:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
Open a web browser and type http://localhost/spip-x.y.z/ecrire/ in the address bar. Replace x.y.z with the version number of SPIP you have installed. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete SPIP installation.
