REDAXO is a content management system that lets you build websites using PHP and MySQL databases. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install REDAXO on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, you need to ensure that you have the following:
Firstly, download the latest version of REDAXO from their official website or GitHub repository using the following command:
# fetch -o /usr/local/www/apache24/data https://github.com/redaxo/redaxo/releases/latest/download/redaxo.zip
Unzip the package by running the following command:
# unzip /usr/local/www/apache24/data/redaxo.zip -d /usr/local/www/apache24/data
By default, PHP on FreeBSD loads with some common PHP modules. To allow REDAXO to function effectively, you need to install and enable some additional PHP modules. Run the following command to check for missing PHP modules:
# php -m
To install additional PHP modules, run the following command:
# pkg install php73-ctype php73-dom php73-imagick php73-json php73-mbstring php73-mysqli php73-session php73-simplexml php73-tokenizer php73-xml
When the installation of additional PHP modules completes, restart the Apache web server:
# systemctl restart apache24
To begin the installation of REDAXO, we need to create an empty MySQL database. You can do this using phpMyAdmin, but if you don't have it installed, run the following command:
# mysql -u root -p
After logging in, create a new database using the following statement:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE redaxo;
To install REDAXO, navigate to the following URL in your web browser:
http://your_server_ip/redaxo/setup/
Choose your preferred language and follow the installation wizard process until you reach the "Database settings" section.
In the "Database settings" section, fill in the details of the MySQL database you created in step 3.
After filling in the required fields, click the "Save and continue" button to proceed to the next step.
Finally, review the installation summary, then click the "Install REDAXO" button to complete the installation process on your FreeBSD Latest.
At this point, you should have successfully installed REDAXO on your FreeBSD Latest server. You can now proceed with customizing and configuring REDAXO to suit your website building needs.
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!
