Microweber is a free and open-source CMS platform, allowing you to create and manage your website, online store, blog, or portfolio. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Microweber on POP! OS Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Microweber is built on top of the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) stack, so we'll need to install this first. Open your terminal and enter the following command to install the LAMP stack:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php7.4 php7.4-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.4
During the installation process, you'll be prompted to set a root password for your MySQL database. Make sure to remember this password, as we'll need it later.
You can download the latest version of Microweber from their website. Make sure to download the ZIP package.
Once you have downloaded the package, extract it to a directory of your choice. In this tutorial, we'll extract it to /var/www/html/microweber.
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/microweber
sudo unzip microweber.zip -d /var/www/html/microweber
Now that we have Microweber downloaded, we'll need to configure Apache to serve the files correctly.
First, we'll disable the default Apache site:
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
Next, we'll create a new Apache virtual host for Microweber:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/microweber.conf
In this file, paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/microweber
ServerName your-domain.com
<Directory /var/www/html/microweber>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Make sure to replace your-domain.com with your domain name.
Save and exit the file by pressing CTRL + X, then Y, and ENTER.
Finally, we'll enable the Microweber site:
sudo a2ensite microweber.conf
And restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Open your web browser and navigate to your domain name. You should see the Microweber installation page. Follow the prompts to install Microweber.
During the installation process, you'll be prompted to enter your database credentials that you had set earlier. Enter the values you had set for your MySQL root password, database name, user name, and password.
Once you have completed the installation, you should be able to log in to the Microweber admin panel by navigating to your-domain.com/admin/login.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Microweber on POP! OS Latest!
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!
