How to Install Payload CMS on Fedora Server Latest

Payload CMS is a powerful and flexible CMS (content management system) that helps you easily manage your website content. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Payload CMS on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you need to ensure that your Fedora server is up-to-date and has the following software installed:

• Apache or Nginx web server
• PHP 7.2 or higher
• MySQL or PostgreSQL database server

Step 1: Download Payload CMS

To download the latest version of Payload CMS, go to its official website and click on the "Download" button. Choose the appropriate package for your operating system and download it to your Fedora server.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Before we can install Payload CMS, we need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

$ sudo dnf install php php-common php-mysqlnd php-xml php-mbstring php-intl php-gd

This will install the necessary PHP dependencies required for Payload CMS.

Step 3: Create a New Virtual Host

Now, we need to create a new virtual host for Payload CMS. Open the Apache configuration file using your favorite text editor:

$ sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to create a new virtual host:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName payloadcms.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/payloadcms
</VirtualHost>

Replace payloadcms.example.com with your domain name and set the appropriate document root. Save and close the file.

Step 4: Install Payload CMS

Now, we can proceed with the installation of Payload CMS. Extract the downloaded file and move it to the document root directory of the virtual host (/var/www/payloadcms in our case):

$ tar -xzf payloadcms-x.x.x.tar.gz
$ sudo mv payloadcms-x.x.x /var/www/payloadcms

Grant permissions to the web server to access the payloadcms directory:

$ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/payloadcms
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/payloadcms

Step 5: Create a Database

Next, we need to create a database for Payload CMS. Login to your MySQL or PostgreSQL server and create a new database and user:

CREATE DATABASE payload;
CREATE USER payloaduser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON payload.* TO payloaduser;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace payload with your database name, payloaduser with your desired username, and password with your desired password.

Step 6: Configure Payload CMS

Now, we need to configure Payload CMS to connect to our database. Open the configuration file using your favorite text editor:

$ sudo vim /var/www/payloadcms/config.php

Find the following lines:

'database' => [
  'adapter' => 'mysql',
  'hostname' => 'localhost',
  'database' => 'payload',
  'username' => 'username',
  'password' => 'password',
  ...
]

Set the appropriate values for hostname, database, username, and password using the values you set up in Step 5.

Step 7: Install Payload CMS

We are now ready to install Payload CMS. Navigate to the payloadcms directory in your web browser (http://payloadcms.example.com in our example), and you should see the installation page.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. Once done, you can log in to your Payload CMS dashboard and start managing your website content.
