How to install Neos on Fedora Server Latest

Neos is a modern, open-source content management system built on the PHP framework Flow. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Neos on a Fedora Server.

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need:

• A Fedora Server Latest installed on your system.
• A webserver, such as Apache or Nginx, already installed and configured.

Step 1 - Update your System

To ensure that your system is up-to-date, run the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2 - Install PHP and Required Extensions

Neos requires PHP version 7.2 or later. To install PHP and the required extensions, run the following command:

sudo dnf install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysqlnd php-opcache php-zip php-gd php-curl php-xml php-intl php-json -y

Step 3 - Install MariaDB

Neos uses MariaDB or MySQL to store its data. In this tutorial, we will install MariaDB. Run the following command to install MariaDB:

sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server -y

After installation, start and enable the MariaDB service:

sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 4 - Create a Database for Neos

Next, create a new MariaDB database for Neos. Run the following commands to log in to the database and create a new database:

sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE neos;

Step 5 - Install Composer

Composer is a popular package manager for PHP. To install Composer, run the following commands:

cd ~
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer -o composer-setup.php
sudo php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/bin --filename=composer

Step 6 - Install Neos

Finally, install Neos using Composer. Run the following command to create a new Neos project:

cd /var/www/html
sudo composer create-project neos/neos-base-distribution neos

Next, navigate to the newly created Neos directory:

cd neos

Copy the configuration file and adjust it to your needs:

cp Configuration/Settings.yaml.example Configuration/Settings.yaml

Finally, run the following command to clear the cache and ensure that everything is up-to-date:

FLOW_CONTEXT=Production ./flow flow:cache:flush
FLOW_CONTEXT=Production ./flow doctrine:update

Step 7 - Configure the Webserver

Next, configure your web server to serve the Neos application. For Apache, create a new virtual host file by running the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/neos.conf

Add the following lines to the file and save it:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/neos/Web
    <Directory /var/www/html/neos/Web>
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/neos_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/neos_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

For Nginx, create a new configuration file in the /etc/nginx/conf.d directory:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/neos.conf

Add the following lines to the file and save it:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    root /var/www/html/neos/Web;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    access_log /var/log/nginx/neos_access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/neos_error.log;

    location / {
        try_files $uri /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Restart Apache or Nginx to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart httpd
sudo systemctl restart nginx
