Prerequisites

Before we install the GetSimple CMS, please make sure you have the following:

• Root access to your Fedora CoreOS Latest server.
• A web server (e.g., Apache or NGINX) installed and running.
• PHP and PHP extensions installed and correctly configured (e.g., PHP-GD, PHP-XML, PHP-SQLITE3).
• A domain name or IP address pointing to your server.

Step 1: Download GetSimple CMS

To download GetSimple CMS, open your web browser and navigate to the following link: http://get-simple.info/download/. Then, click on the "Download GetSimple CMS" button to download the latest version of the software.

Step 2: Extract GetSimple CMS

Once the download is complete, you will see a file named "getsimple-X.X.X.zip" (X.X.X represents the version number). Use the following command to extract the contents of the file:

unzip getsimple-X.X.X.zip -d /var/www/html/

This command will extract the contents of the ZIP file to the "/var/www/html/" directory.

Step 3: Set Permissions

To ensure the security of your website's files, it is recommended to set the correct permissions for the GetSimple CMS directory. Use the following command to set the correct permissions:

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/getsimple/

This command will set the ownership of the GetSimple CMS directory to the Apache user and group.

Step 4: Configure the Web Server

The next step is to configure your web server to serve the GetSimple CMS files. For instance, if you're using Apache, create a new virtual host by editing your Apache configuration file "httpd.conf" or "apache2.conf," and add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin admin@example.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/getsimple/
   ServerName example.com
   ServerAlias www.example.com
   <Directory /var/www/html/getsimple/>
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Require all granted
   </Directory>
   ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/getsimple_error.log
   CustomLog /var/log/httpd/getsimple_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace "example.com" with your domain name or IP address. After you have added the above settings into the configuration file, save it and restart the Apache service:

systemctl restart httpd
