Concrete 5 CMS is a popular open-source content management system that allows you to build and manage websites easily. If you're on Fedora Server Latest and would like to install Concrete 5 CMS, follow the steps below.
Before we can install Concrete 5 CMS, we need to have a web server installed. Let's install Apache using the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd
Concrete 5 CMS requires PHP to run. Let's install PHP and its required modules using the following command:
sudo dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-gd php-zip php-mbstring php-xml
Concrete 5 CMS also requires a database to store its data. Let's install MySQL Server and its client using the following command:
sudo dnf install mysql-server mysql
After MySQL Server is installed, we need to secure it by running the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts and enter a strong password for the root user.
Next, we need to create a database and a user for Concrete 5 CMS. Login to MySQL Server using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter the password you set earlier.
CREATE DATABASE concrete5;
CREATE USER 'concrete5user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON concrete5.* TO 'concrete5user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace password with a strong password.
Let's download the latest version of Concrete 5 CMS from their website using the following command:
wget https://www.concretecms.com/download_file/-/view/99114/
Extract the downloaded file and move the extracted folder to the web server's DocumentRoot directory:
tar xvf concrete5-8.*-core.zip
sudo mv concrete5-8.* /var/www/html/concrete5
Give the web server user www-data ownership of the concrete5 folder:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/concrete5
Now that Concrete 5 CMS is installed, open up a web browser and go to:
http://<your server's IP address>/concrete5/
You should see the Concrete 5 CMS installation screen. Follow the prompts and enter the MySQL database information we created earlier.
After installation is complete, you can access Concrete 5 CMS by going to:
http://<your server's IP address>/concrete5/
That's it! You now have a fully functional Concrete 5 CMS installation on your Fedora Server Latest.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
