WonderCMS is a lightweight and user-friendly content management system that allows you to create and maintain simple websites. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WonderCMS on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing WonderCMS on FreeBSD, you need to ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the system packages on your FreeBSD server. To do this, log in to your server using SSH and run the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
This will update all the system packages to their latest versions.
After updating the system packages, you need to install Apache and PHP on your FreeBSD server. To do this, run the following command:
sudo pkg install apache24 mod_php73
This will install Apache web server and PHP version 7.3, which is compatible with WonderCMS.
Once you have installed Apache and PHP, you need to configure the web server to work with WonderCMS. First, start the Apache service by running the following command:
sudo service apache24 start
Next, create a new virtual host configuration file for WonderCMS. To do this, run the following command:
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/wondercms.conf
And add the following content:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/wondercms
<Directory /usr/local/www/wondercms>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/wondercms_error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/wondercms_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace your-domain.com with your own domain name. Once done, save and close the file.
Now, download the latest version of WonderCMS from their official website with the following command:
sudo wget https://www.wondercms.com/download.php
Extract the downloaded zip file to the /usr/local/www/ directory with the following command:
sudo unzip -q download.php -d /usr/local/www/
Change the ownership of the wondercms directory to the Apache user with the following command:
sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/wondercms
Finally, you can now access the WonderCMS web installer from your web browser. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-domain.com. You will see the WonderCMS web installer page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, you can log in to the WonderCMS admin panel by navigating to http://your-domain.com/wondercms/admin. Use the credentials you have set during the installation process to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WonderCMS on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start creating and managing your website pages with WonderCMS.
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!
