Installing WonderCMS on OpenSUSE Latest

WonderCMS is a lightweight and user-friendly CMS (content management system) that allows you to create and manage websites with ease. In this tutorial, we will install WonderCMS on OpenSUSE Latest using Apache and PHP.

Prerequisites

Before we start the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A server running OpenSUSE Latest
• Apache web server
• PHP 7.1 or later
• A web browser for accessing the WonderCMS admin panel

Step 1: Install Apache web server

If you haven't installed Apache web server on your OpenSUSE server, run the following command as a root user to install it:

zypper install apache2

Once installed, start and enable the Apache web server:

systemctl start apache2
systemctl enable apache2

Step 2: Install PHP

Next, we need to install PHP on our server. Run the following command to install PHP 7.4 and its required extensions:

zypper install php7 php7-mbstring php7-json php7-openssl php7-mysql php7-pdo php7-gd php7-zip php7-session

Once installed, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

systemctl restart apache2

Step 3: Download and install WonderCMS

To download and install WonderCMS, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest version of WonderCMS from the official website: https://www.wondercms.com/download

wget https://www.wondercms.com/download

2. Extract the downloaded file to the web server document root directory:

tar xfz wondercms-latest.tar.gz -C /srv/www/htdocs/

3. Change the ownership of the extracted files to the Apache web server user and group:

chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/wondercms/

4. Open your web browser and navigate to your server IP address or domain name followed by "/wondercms". For example, if your server IP address is 192.168.0.100, go to:

http://192.168.0.100/wondercms

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the installation process.

Step 4: Configure Apache web server for WonderCMS

To make sure that your web server can correctly handle WonderCMS URLs, you need to enable the mod_rewrite module and configure Apache to use a .htaccess file. Here's how you do it:

1. Enable the mod_rewrite module:

a2enmod rewrite

2. Edit the Apache web server's configuration file and set the AllowOverride directive to All for the DocumentRoot directory:

vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Find the following lines and modify them to look as follows:

<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
    AllowOverride All
    Options FollowSymLinks
    Require all granted
</Directory>

3. Save and close the file, then restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:

systemctl restart apache2

In this tutorial, we have installed WonderCMS on OpenSUSE Latest using Apache and PHP. You can now log in to the WonderCMS admin panel and start creating and managing your website's content. Happy coding!
