REDAXO is a free and open-source content management system that can be used for building websites and web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install REDAXO on an OpenBSD server.
Before installing REDAXO, you need to make sure that your OpenBSD server meets the following prerequisites:
First, you need to download the latest version of REDAXO from their official website:
$ cd /tmp
$ ftp https://github.com/redaxo/redaxo/releases/download/6.10.0/redaxo_6.10.0.zip
You will also need the unzip utility to extract the REDAXO installation files. If you don’t have unzip installed on your OpenBSD server, you can install it using the following command:
$ doas pkg_add unzip
Once you have downloaded REDAXO and installed unzip, you can extract the installation files using unzip:
$ unzip redaxo_6.10.0.zip -d /var/www/
This will extract the REDAXO files to the /var/www/ directory.
You need to create a MySQL database for your REDAXO installation. You can do this using the following commands:
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE redaxo_db;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redaxo_db.* TO 'redaxo_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> EXIT;
In the above commands, you can replace redaxo_db with the name of your database, redaxo_user with your MySQL username, and your_password with your MySQL password.
Next, you need to configure REDAXO by copying the REDAXO/.env.example file to .env:
$ cd /var/www/REDAXO
$ cp .env.example .env
Then, you need to edit the .env file and update the following fields with your database information:
DB_HOSTNAME=localhost
DB_DATABASE=redaxo_db
DB_USERNAME=redaxo_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
Make sure to replace redaxo_db, redaxo_user, and your_password with your actual database information.
Next, you need to grant write permissions to the REDAXO/redaxo/include/data directory:
$ chmod -R 777 /var/www/REDAXO/redaxo/include/data
REDAXO requires some dependencies to be installed before it can be run. You can install these dependencies using the following command:
$ composer install
If you don’t have Composer installed on your OpenBSD server, you can download it from the official website: https://getcomposer.org/
Once you have completed the installation steps, you can now access REDAXO by visiting your server’s IP address or domain name in your web browser:
http://your_server_ip_address/REDAXO/
You should see the REDAXO installation page. Follow the installation wizard to complete the installation.
Congratulations, you have now installed REDAXO on your OpenBSD server. You can now start building your website or web application using REDAXO.
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!
