BigTree CMS is a free and open-source content management system that can be used to create websites and web applications. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install BigTree CMS on OpenSUSE latest.
Before starting with the installation process, you need to have the following:
Here are the steps to install BigTree CMS on OpenSUSE Latest:
Visit the BigTree CMS website (https://www.bigtreecms.org/) and download the latest version of BigTree CMS. Once the download is completed, extract the downloaded file to the directory where you want to host your website.
In order to run BigTree CMS, you need to make sure that your PHP installation has certain modules installed. You can install the required PHP modules by running the following command:
sudo zypper install php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-json php-mbstring php-mysql php-zip
You need to configure your web server to serve the BigTree CMS files from the directory where they were extracted in Step 1. Assuming you have Apache installed, create a new virtual host configuration file in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ as follows:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/bigtreecms.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/bigtree/cms
<Directory /path/to/bigtree/cms>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/bigtreecms_error.log"
CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/bigtreecms_access.log" combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace example.com with your domain name and /path/to/bigtree/cms with the actual path where you extracted the BigTree CMS files.
Once you have edited the file, save and close it by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, and finally Enter.
Finally, restart Apache for the changes to take effect by running the following command:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Once you have completed the previous steps, you can now run the BigTree CMS installer. Open your web browser and navigate to your domain name (e.g. http://example.com). You should see the BigTree CMS installer screen.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. Make sure to enter the correct database credentials and choose the correct web server type (Apache or Nginx).
After the installation process is complete, you should see the BigTree CMS admin dashboard. You can now start creating your website.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps to install BigTree CMS on OpenSUSE latest. By following these steps, you should be able to install and run BigTree CMS without any issues.
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!
