REDAXO is a popular content management system (CMS) that can be used to create websites and web applications. If you are a beginner and wondering how to install REDAXO on your MXLinux Latest operating system, then you have come to the right place. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing REDAXO on your MXLinux Latest step by step.
Before you start installing REDAXO on your MXLinux Latest, you must ensure that you have the following things:
Follow the steps given below to install REDAXO on your MXLinux Latest:
Step 1: Download REDAXO
The first step is to download REDAXO from the official website https://www.redaxo.org/. Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded ZIP file to a location of your choice.
Step 2: Move REDAXO to Web Server
Now that you have downloaded and extracted the REDAXO files, you need to move them to the root directory of your web server. The default root directory for Apache is /var/www/html and for Nginx is /usr/share/nginx/html.
To move the REDAXO files, use the following command:
sudo mv REDAXO-x.x.x/* /var/www/html/
Note: Replace x.x.x with the version of REDAXO you have downloaded.
Step 3: Set Permissions
Next, you need to give ownership of the REDAXO files to your web server's user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/*
Step 4: Create Database and User
REDAXO requires a MySQL database to store data. You can create a new database and user using the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Now create a new database and user:
CREATE DATABASE redaxo_db;
CREATE USER 'redaxo_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redaxo_db.* TO 'redaxo_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Note: Replace 'password' with your own.
Step 5: Configure REDAXO
Next, navigate to the directory where you installed REDAXO (/var/www/html) and edit the file named REDAXO/setup/setup.php. Edit the following lines as shown in order to connect to the database:
$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['login'] = 'redaxo_user';
$config['db']['password'] = 'password';
$config['db']['name'] = 'redaxo_db';
Save the file and close it.
Step 6: Install REDAXO
Open your browser and navigate to your website's address (http://localhost). The REDAXO installation wizard will start automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to install REDAXO. When prompted, enter the database and admin user details.
Step 7: Finish Installation
After the REDAXO installation is complete, delete the REDAXO/setup directory to prevent unauthorized installations or upgrades:
sudo rm -r /var/www/html/REDAXO/setup/
You can now access your REDAXO website by navigating to your website's address (http://localhost).
In this tutorial, we have walked through the step-by-step process of installing REDAXO on MXLinux Latest. Now that you have REDAXO installed and configured properly, you can start using it to create and manage your website.
