SilverStripe is a popular open-source web application framework based on PHP that allows developers to create amazing websites and web applications. In this tutorial, we're going to learn how to install SilverStripe on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, go to the official SilverStripe website and download the latest stable version of SilverStripe. Once the download is complete, extract the zip archive to your desired location using the following command:
$ wget https://www.silverstripe.org/assets/releases/SilverStripe-cms-4.9.0.zip
$ unzip SilverStripe-cms-4.9.0.zip -d /var/www/html/
This will extract the SilverStripe files to your /var/www/html/ directory.
Next, we need to configure the proper permissions for the SilverStripe installation. To do this, run the following commands:
$ chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/SilverStripe
$ chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/SilverStripe
This will configure the proper file permissions for your SilverStripe installation.
SilverStripe makes use of many third-party dependencies, which can be installed using the Composer package manager. To install Composer, run the following command:
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Next, change to the SilverStripe directory and install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
$ cd /var/www/html/SilverStripe # Change to SilverStripe directory
$ composer install
Once the installation is complete, all the necessary dependencies will be installed in the /vendor directory.
To access your SilverStripe installation via the web browser, you need to configure an Apache virtual host. To do this, create a new virtual host configuration file using the following command:
$ sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/silverstripe.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/SilverStripe/public
<Directory /var/www/html/SilverStripe/public>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/silverstripe_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/silverstripe_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Next, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
$ sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name. You should see the SilverStripe setup page, where you can set up your MySQL database, create an admin account, and complete the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed SilverStripe on 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!
