How to install Flextype on Fedora Server Latest?

Flextype is an easy-to-use and lightweight content management system (CMS) that allows you to build highly customizable websites and blogs. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of installing Flextype on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure that you have the following:

• A server running Fedora Server Latest.
• Access to the terminal with root privileges.
• Apache or Nginx web server installed and configured.

Step 1: Install PHP

Flextype requires PHP 7.4 or higher to run. To install PHP, run the following command:

dnf install php php-common php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-json php-xml php-gd php-mbstring php-curl -y

Step 2: Install MariaDB

MariaDB is a database server that is used by Flextype to store content. To install MariaDB, run the following command:

dnf install mariadb mariadb-server -y

Once installed, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start at system boot:

systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb

Step 3: Create a database

Now that MariaDB is installed, create a database for Flextype to use. Use the following commands to access the MariaDB command-line interface and create a new database called flextype:

mysql -u root
create database flextype;
exit

Step 4: Download and extract Flextype

Download the latest version of Flextype from the official website:

wget https://github.com/flextype/flextype/releases/latest/download/flextype-latest.zip

Extract the downloaded file to your web server root directory:

unzip flextype-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 5: Configure permissions

To ensure that Flextype can write to its directories and files, set the correct permissions using the following command:

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

Replace "apache" with the user and group that your web server runs as.

Step 6: Create a virtual host

Create a virtual host for Flextype to run on by creating a configuration file in your web server configuration directory:

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/flextype.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/flextype/public/
    ServerName example.com

    <Directory /var/www/html/flextype/public/>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/flextype_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/flextype_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and exit.

Step 7: Restart the web server

Restart Apache to apply the changes:

systemctl restart httpd
