Installing TYPO3 on Fedora Server latest

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.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure that your system meets the following prerequisites:

• Fedora Server latest installation
• Apache web server
• PHP 7.2 or higher with required extensions
• MySQL or MariaDB server

Step 1: Download TYPO3

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.

Step 2: Create a TYPO3 Database

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;

Step 3: Configure the Database

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.

Step 4: Configure Apache web server

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.

Step 5: Install TYPO3

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/.

Conclusion

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!
