WonderCMS is a lightweight and simple Content Management System (CMS) that allows you to create and manage your website content without the need for any programming skills. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WonderCMS on an OpenBSD server.
To follow this tutorial, you need:
First, you need to download the latest version of WonderCMS from the official website. You can use the following command to download the WonderCMS archive:
$ sudo cd /var/www/
$ sudo wget https://www.wondercms.com/download
$ sudo tar -xvf wondercms-X.X.X.tar.gz
Replace X.X.X with the latest version number.
After downloading and extracting the WonderCMS archive, you need to move the content to the web server directory. Apache uses /var/www/htdocs by default, while Nginx uses /var/www/html. For this tutorial, we will use Apache as the web server.
Execute the following command to move the WonderCMS content to the web server directory:
$ sudo mv wondercms-X.X.X/* /var/www/htdocs/
Next, we need to configure permissions on the WonderCMS files and directories. Change the owner of the directory to the Apache user:
$ sudo chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/
WonderCMS requires PHP to run, so make sure the PHP module is enabled on your web server. On Apache, you can enable the PHP module by uncommenting the following line in /etc/httpd.conf file, and then restart the Apache service:
LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/bin/php-7.3apache2_4.so
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/apache2 restart
On Nginx, you need to configure the PHP FastCGI service. Add the following lines to the Nginx configuration file (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) under the http block, then restart Nginx service:
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/nginx restart
After completing the configuration, you can access your WonderCMS website by opening a web browser and typing your OpenBSD server's IP address or hostname in the address bar, followed by /admin at the end of the URL:
http://your-server-ip-address/admin/
You should be redirected to the WonderCMS login page, where you can enter the default login credentials:
After logging in, you can start managing your website content through the WonderCMS dashboard.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install WonderCMS on OpenBSD. WonderCMS is a user-friendly CMS that allows you to create and manage your website content without the need for any programming skills. You can now use this tutorial as a starting point for installing and configuring WonderCMS on an OpenBSD server.
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!
