Payload CMS is an easy-to-use, open-source content management system designed to be flexible and simple to use. It has a clean interface that is focused on helping users create, manage and publish content quickly and easily. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Payload CMS on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, you need to have the following items:
Payload CMS is a PHP-based system, so we first need to install PHP on our server. We also need to install some additional PHP extensions that are required by Payload CMS. To install PHP and the required extensions, run the following command:
sudo zypper install php7 php7-ctype php7-dom php7-iconv php7-fileinfo php7-gd php7-json php7-mbstring php7-tokenizer php7-xml php7-zip
Composer is a package manager for PHP that is used by Payload CMS to manage its dependencies. To install Composer on OpenSUSE Latest, run the following command:
sudo zypper install composer
The easiest way to install Payload CMS is to use Composer. First, navigate to the directory where you want to install Payload CMS:
cd /var/www/html/
Then, run the following command to download and install the latest version of Payload CMS:
sudo composer create-project payloadcms/payload payload
This will download the latest version of Payload CMS into a directory named payload.
Now that you’ve installed Payload CMS, you need to configure your web server to serve it. The exact steps depend on the web server you are using.
If you are using Apache, create a new virtual host configuration file with the following contents:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/payload/public
ServerName yourdomain.com
<Directory "/var/www/html/payload/public">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
If you are using Nginx, create a new server configuration file with the following contents:
server {
listen 80;
server_name yourdomain.com;
root /var/www/html/payload/public;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
Now that you’ve configured your web server, you need to run the Payload CMS installer. To run the installer, navigate to the payload directory that you created earlier:
cd /var/www/html/payload
Then, run the following command to start the installer:
php artisan payload:install
This will start the installer, which will guide you through the necessary steps to configure Payload CMS. Follow the prompts to configure your database and create an admin account.
