Pagekit is a popular open-source CMS (Content Management System) that can be installed on NetBSD. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of downloading and installing Pagekit on NetBSD.
Before we can begin installing Pagekit, we need to make sure that Apache and PHP are installed on our NetBSD machine. You can install Apache and PHP by running the following command:
pkgin install apache php
Next, we need to download and extract the Pagekit source files. You can download the latest version of Pagekit from their official website (https://pagekit.com/). Alternatively, you can run the following command to download the latest stable release:
wget https://pagekit.com/download/latest -O pagekit.zip
Once the download is complete, extract the Pagekit archive:
unzip pagekit.zip -d /var/www/
Note: Change the installation directory to match your Apache document root, if necessary.
Once the Pagekit files have been extracted, we need to set the appropriate permissions on the installation directory. Run the following commands:
cd /var/www/pagekit
chown -R www:www *
chmod -R 755 *
Now that the Pagekit files are in place, we need to configure Apache to serve them. Open the Apache configuration file in your preferred text editor:
vi /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/pagekit"
<Directory "/var/www/pagekit">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save the changes and exit the editor. Restart Apache to apply the changes:
apachectl restart
Finally, we need to complete the Pagekit setup. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost. You should see the Pagekit setup screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Pagekit on NetBSD. Happy content creation!
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!
