Tutorial: How to Install Pagekit on MXLinux Latest

Pagekit is a modern and lightweight Content Management System (CMS) that can be installed on MXLinux Latest quite easily. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Pagekit.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A running instance of MXLinux Latest
• Administrator privileges on your MXLinux Latest instance
• A web server such as Apache or Nginx
• PHP version 7 or higher
• A MySQL or MariaDB server

Step 1: Download Pagekit

Go to https://pagekit.com/ and download the latest version of Pagekit. Extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice.

Step 2: Configure Your Web Server

Next, configure your web server for Pagekit. If you are using Apache, create a new virtual host configuration file for Pagekit.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/pagekit.conf

Add the following content to the configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your_domain.com
    ServerAlias www.your_domain.com
    DocumentRoot /path/to/pagekit
    <Directory /path/to/pagekit>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace "your_domain.com" with your domain name and "/path/to/pagekit" with the path to your extracted Pagekit directory.

If you are using Nginx, create a new server block file for Pagekit.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/pagekit.conf

Add the following content to the configuration file:

server {
  listen              80;
  server_name         your_domain.com;
  root                /path/to/pagekit;
  index               index.php index.html;
  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
  }
  location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    include fastcgi_params;
  }
}

Replace "your_domain.com" with your domain name and "/path/to/pagekit" with the path to your extracted Pagekit directory.

Step 3: Create a Database

Pagekit uses a MySQL or MariaDB database to store data, so you will need to create a new database for Pagekit.

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL/MariaDB root password and then create a new database for Pagekit.

CREATE DATABASE pagekit;

Create a new user for Pagekit and set a password.

CREATE USER 'pagekituser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';

Grant all privileges to the new user for the newly created database.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pagekit.* TO 'pagekituser'@'localhost';

Flush privileges and exit from the MySQL shell.

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Step 4: Install Pagekit

Now that your web server and database are configured, you can proceed with the Pagekit installation.

Navigate to your domain in your web browser to access the Pagekit installer. Follow the instructions to enter the database details, create an administrator account, and configure basic Pagekit settings.

After completing the installation, you should see the Pagekit Dashboard. You can now start customizing your website and creating new content.
