CouchCMS is a free and open-source content management system that allows you to create and manage websites easily. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CouchCMS on Fedora Server Latest.
Before starting, you need to have the following:
CouchCMS requires Apache and PHP to run. You can install them by running the following commands in your terminal:
sudo dnf install httpd php php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-gd php-xml php-mbstring
After installing Apache and PHP, start the Apache service and enable it to start at boot time:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
You can download the latest version of CouchCMS from the official website (https://www.couchcms.com/).
After downloading the zip file, extract its content to the /var/www/html directory:
cd /var/www/html
sudo unzip /path/to/couchcms.zip
Make sure that the Apache user (httpd) has the appropriate permissions to access the CouchCMS files by running the following command:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/couch
CouchCMS uses a configuration file named couch/config.php to manage its settings. You can copy the sample configuration file and edit it according to your needs:
cd /var/www/html/couch/
cp config-sample.php config.php
Edit the config.php file to set up your database connection details and other settings:
nano config.php
You can now access your CouchCMS installation by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your-server-ip/couch/.
CouchCMS should greet you with the installation wizard, which will guide you through the process of setting up your website.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed CouchCMS on your Fedora Server Latest instance. You can now use CouchCMS to create and manage your website.
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!
