How to Install Roadiz on MXLinux Latest

Roadiz is a modern CMS (Content Management System) framework used for creating and managing websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Roadiz on MXLinux.

Prerequisites

• A running instance of MXLinux.
• Access to the terminal with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing Roadiz, make sure your system has all the required dependencies installed.

Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.3 php-mysql mysql-server

This command installs Apache server, PHP7.3, and MySQL database on your system.

Step 2: Download Roadiz

You can download Roadiz from their official website.

https://www.roadiz.io/dl/latest.zip

After downloading the file, extract it to the /var/www/html/ directory using the following command:

sudo unzip latest.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 3: Configure Apache Server

Now we need to configure Apache server to serve the Roadiz website.

Open the Apache server configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName your_domain.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace your_domain.com with your actual domain name or IP address.

Save the changes and exit the editor by pressing CTRL+X, Y, then ENTER.

Next, enable rewrite module to run Roadiz:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Then restart the Apache server:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Create MySQL Database

Now we need to create a new MySQL database and user for Roadiz.

Log in to the MySQL database server with the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root user password when prompted.

Create a new database with the following command:

CREATE DATABASE roadiz;

Then create a new MySQL user and grant it all privileges on the database with the following command:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roadiz.* TO 'roadiz_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Replace password with your desired database user password.

Flush the MySQL privileges and exit the MySQL console with the following commands:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 5: Install and Run Roadiz

Now we are ready to install Roadiz. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your_domain.com/ or http://your_ip_address/ if you don't have a domain.

You should see the Roadiz installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation process.

During the installation process, you will be asked to enter the MySQL database details including database name, user, and password.

After the installation process is complete, you will be redirected to the Roadiz dashboard where you can manage your website's content.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Roadiz on MXLinux Latest.
