In this tutorial, we will explain how to install TYPO3, a popular content management system (CMS), on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first thing you need to do is update the FreeBSD system to ensure that all packages are up-to-date. To do this, run the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
TYPO3 requires Apache, PHP, and MySQL to run. Install these packages as follows:
sudo pkg install apache24 php74 php74-extensions mysql57-server
After installing Apache, you need to configure it to work with TYPO3. Open the httpd.conf file using your favorite text editor.
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<Directory "/usr/local/www/apache24/data/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Before continuing with the TYPO3 installation, you need to set up the MySQL server. Run the following command to initialize the MySQL database:
sudo mysql_install_db
Start the MySQL server:
sudo service mysql-server start
Create a new MySQL user and database for TYPO3:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE typo3db;
CREATE USER 'typo3user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON typo3db.* TO 'typo3user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MySQL:
exit
Download TYPO3 by running the following command:
cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data
sudo fetch https://get.typo3.org/10.4.18 -o typo3.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf typo3.tar.gz
Copy the TYPO3 source files to the Apache document root directory:
sudo cp -r /usr/local/www/apache24/data/typo3_src-10.4.18/* /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
Rename the file typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php.disabled to typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php:
sudo mv /usr/local/www/apache24/data/typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php.disabled /usr/local/www/apache24/data/typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php
Give the Apache user permissions to the TYPO3 files and directories:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
You can now access TYPO3 by navigating to http://yourdomain.com/. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
