WonderCMS is a simple and lightweight Content Management System that does not require a database to function. It can be easily installed on Linux Mint by following these simple steps:
Before installing WonderCMS, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Go to the official WonderCMS website and download the latest stable release of the software in the ZIP format.
After the download is complete, extract the ZIP archive to a directory on your Mint system.
To configure the web server, you have two options i.e., Apache or Nginx. You can go for either of them.
Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following VirtualHost configuration at the end of the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/WonderCMS/
<Directory "/var/www/html/WonderCMS/">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Enable the rewrite module using the following command:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Restart the Apache web server using the following command:
sudo service apache2 restart
Open the Nginx configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Add the following server block at the end of the file:
server {
listen 80;
root /var/www/html/WonderCMS;
index index.php;
server_name example.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}
}
Save and close the file.
Restart the Nginx web server using the following command:
sudo service nginx restart
Open your favorite web browser and navigate to http://localhost/WonderCMS. You should see the WonderCMS installation page.
Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the WonderCMS system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WonderCMS on your Linux Mint system. You can now start creating your website and managing your content 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!
