Cactus Comments is a real-time commenting platform that can be integrated with any website. It supports a variety of platforms, including WordPress, Wix, Blogger, Shopify, and many more. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Cactus Comments on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin with the installation process, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
First, we need to download the Cactus Comments package from the official website. We can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
wget https://cdn.cactus.chat/cactus-latest.zip
This will download the latest version of Cactus Comments into the current working directory.
In Fedora Server Latest, the unzip package may not be installed by default. Therefore, we need to install it by running the following command in the terminal:
yum install unzip
To unzip the downloaded package, we need to run the following command in the terminal:
unzip cactus-latest.zip
This will extract the contents of the archive to a folder named cactus.
We need to move the contents of the cactus folder to the document root of the Apache web server. In Fedora Server Latest, the document root is located at /var/www/html/. We can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
mv cactus/* /var/www/html/
To configure Cactus Comments, we need to edit the config.php file located in the cactus folder. We can use any text editor to do this. In this tutorial, we will use the nano editor. To open the file using nano, run the following command in the terminal:
nano /var/www/html/cactus/config.php
In this file, we need to set the variables cactus_secret_key, cactus_app_id, and cactus_app_key according to the values provided in the Cactus Comments dashboard. Once done, save and exit the file.
We need to set the appropriate permissions on the Cactus Comments files and folders. To do this, we need to run the following commands in the terminal:
chown apache:apache /var/www/html/cactus
chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/cactus
To ensure that the changes take effect, we need to restart the Apache web server. We can do this by running the following command in the terminal:
systemctl restart httpd
That's it! We have successfully installed Cactus Comments on Fedora Server Latest. We can now integrate it with our website using the provided script.
