TYPO3 is an open-source content management system (CMS) that allows you to build websites and web applications. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to install TYPO3 on a Fedora Server latest.
Before getting started, ensure that your system meets the following prerequisites:
First, you need to download TYPO3 from their official website. Navigate to https://typo3.org/download/ and click on the "TYPO3 CMS" button to proceed with the download. Once the download is complete, extract the compressed file to the desired location on your system.
TYPO3 requires a database to store its data. You can create a database using the following command:
$ mysql -u root -p
This will prompt you to enter your password. After entering your credentials, create a new database with the following command:
CREATE DATABASE typo3db;
TYPO3 requires a configuration file to connect to the database. Use the following command to create a new LocalConfiguration.php file:
$ cp typo3_src/typo3/sysext/install/Resources/Private/FolderStructureTemplateFiles/Configuration/LocalConfiguration.php.dist typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
Next, edit the LocalConfiguration.php file with your database details:
'database' => [
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => '',
'dbname' => 'typo3db',
'username' => 'db_user',
'password' => 'db_password',
'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
'driver' => 'mysqli',
'wrapper' => 'mysqli',
'flags' => 2,
],
Replace db_user and db_password with your database credentials.
TYPO3 requires some additional configurations on the Apache web server to work correctly. Create a new virtualhost configuration file with the following command:
$ vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/typo3.conf
Add the following content in the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin youradmin@example.com
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/typo3/
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/typo3_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/typo3_access.log combined
<Directory /var/www/html/typo3>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://example.com/install.php. This will start the TYPO3 installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, TYPO3 is now installed and ready to use. You can access the TYPO3 backend by navigating to http://example.com/typo3/.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install TYPO3 on a Fedora Server latest. Now that TYPO3 is up and running, you can start developing your website or web application.
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!
