PluXml is a lightweight and easy-to-use content management system (CMS) that allows users to create and manage their websites. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of PluXml on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
Firstly, you need to download PluXml from the official website. Go to https://pluxml.org/ and click on the Download button.
Extract the downloaded file to the webroot directory.
$ cd /var/www/html/
$ sudo unzip ~/Downloads/pluxml*.zip
Next, you need to create a database for PluXml. Login to MySQL (or MariaDB) using the following command:
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE pluxml;
Create a user and grant the required permissions:
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pluxml.* TO 'pluxmluser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace password with a strong, unique password.
Now, you need to configure Apache to serve PluXml. Create a new virtual host configuration file under /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ directory:
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/pluxml.conf
Add the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/pluxml
ServerName your-domain.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/pluxml-error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/pluxml-access_log" common
<Directory /var/www/html/pluxml>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace your-domain.com with your domain name or IP address.
Save and close the file.
To install PluXml, open your web browser and navigate to http://your-domain.com/install/. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
During the installation, you will be asked to enter the database details you created earlier. Provide the correct details and complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, remove the install directory:
$ sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/pluxml/install/
Finally, secure your PluXml installation by setting the correct file permissions:
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/pluxml/
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/pluxml/
You can now access your PluXml installation by navigating to http://your-domain.com/.
