Pagekit is a modern, user-friendly, and open-source CMS (Content Management System) that you can use to create websites and blogs. If you want to use Pagekit on your Kali Linux latest distribution, here’s a step-by-step tutorial to help you set it up.
Before we start, you need to make sure that your Kali Linux is up-to-date and that you have the following dependencies installed:
You can install these dependencies by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
The first thing you need to do is download Pagekit from their official website.
You can download the latest version by using the following command:
wget https://pagekit.com/download/latest.zip
Once you’ve downloaded the Pagekit archive, extract the files and move them into your web folder. For example, if you want to install Pagekit into the document root folder (i.e., /var/www/html), run the following command:
sudo unzip latest.zip -d /var/www/html/
You need to set the appropriate permissions to the Pagekit directory and its subdirectories. To make sure that Apache (httpd) can access the files, run the following commands:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/pagekit
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/pagekit
Pagekit uses a MySQL database to store all its data. To create a new database, run the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This will open the MySQL shell. Now, enter the following commands to create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE pagekit;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pagekit.* TO 'yourusername'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Note: Replace yourusername and yourpassword with your desired username and password.
Now that everything is set up, you can start the Pagekit installation process. To do this, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/pagekit.
Follow the installation wizard, and when prompted, fill in the database connection details that you created in Step 4.
Once the installation is complete, you have successfully installed Pagekit on Kali Linux latest.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Pagekit on Kali Linux latest. If you followed the steps correctly, you should now have a fully functional Pagekit installation that you can use to create and manage your website or blog.
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!
