SPIP is a popular free CMS (Content Management System) that allows users to create websites and publish content easily. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing SPIP on Fedora CoreOS Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

• Fedora CoreOS Latest installed on your machine

• Root access or sudo privileges

Installing SPIP on Fedora CoreOS Latest

Follow the steps below to install SPIP on Fedora CoreOS:

Step 1: Install Apache Web Server

SPIP requires a web server to run, and Apache is a popular choice. To install Apache on your Fedora CoreOS system, run the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd

Step 2: Start Apache service

Once Apache is installed, start the Apache service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start httpd

You can also enable the Apache service to start automatically at system boot time by running the following command:

sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 3: Install PHP

SPIP is written in PHP, so you need to install PHP and some required modules. To install PHP and related modules, run the following command:

sudo dnf install php php-cli php-mysqlnd php-xml php-gd php-mbstring

Step 4: Install SPIP

Download the latest version of SPIP from the official SPIP website at https://www.spip.net/fr. Extract the downloaded package to the Apache web root directory /var/www/html/ directory as shown below:

sudo unzip spip-x.y.z.zip -d /var/www/html/

It is advised to rename the extracted SPIP directory to a more readable name:

sudo mv /var/www/html/spip-x.y.z /var/www/html/spip/

Step 5: Set Directory Permission

Set the proper permissions to the SPIP directory and subdirectories so that Apache can write to it. Run the following commands to set the directory permissions:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/spip/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/spip/

Step 6: Configure Apache for SPIP

Create an Apache virtual host configuration file for SPIP as shown below:

sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/spip.conf

Add the following configuration in the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin example@example.com
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/spip/
   ServerName spip.example.com
   ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/spip.error.log
   CustomLog /var/log/httpd/spip.access.log common

   <Directory /var/www/html/spip>
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Here, replace the ServerAdmin and ServerName values with your own, and save the file.

Step 7: Restart Apache Service

Once the virtual host configuration is saved, restart the Apache services to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 8: Access SPIP

Open a web browser and navigate to the http://spip.example.com/ URL. You should see the SPIP installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions and provide the necessary details to complete the installation.

Step 9: Enable Firewall

If your firewall is enabled, you should allow HTTP traffic to pass through it. To enable HTTP traffic in the firewall, run the following commands:

sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Now you have successfully installed SPIP on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
