Pagekit is a modern, lightweight, and free content management system that runs on any web server that supports PHP. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Pagekit on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before installing Pagekit, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
To install Pagekit on Ubuntu Server, start by updating the system packages with the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Next, install the required packages for Pagekit by running the following command:
sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php7.4 php7.4-gd php7.4-mysql php7.4-curl php7.4-xml php7.4-zip libapache2-mod-php7.4 unzip -y
Once the packages are installed, you can proceed to the next step.
Pagekit requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB, which is a popular open-source database server.
To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client -y
Once installed, run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Follow the prompts by setting a root password, removing anonymous users, disallowing remote root login, and removing test databases. Once done, log in to MariaDB by running the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database for Pagekit by running the following command:
CREATE DATABASE pagekitdb;
Create a new user and grant it all privileges to the Pagekit database by running the following command:
GRANT ALL ON pagekitdb.* TO 'pagekituser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
Flush the privileges by running the following command:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MariaDB by running the following command:
exit;
To install Pagekit, start by downloading the latest version from the Pagekit website. You can use the following command to download it:
wget https://pagekit.com/api/download/latest -O pagekit.zip
Once downloaded, extract the zip file to /var/www/html/ directory by running the following command:
sudo unzip pagekit.zip -d /var/www/html/
Change the ownership of the pagekit directory to the web server user by running the following command:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
Next, create a virtual host file for Pagekit by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/pagekit.conf
And paste the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/pagekit/
<Directory /var/www/html/pagekit/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/pagekit_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/pagekit_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file. Then, enable the virtual host by running the following command:
sudo a2ensite pagekit.conf
Lastly, restart Apache to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now that Pagekit is installed, open a web browser and navigate to the server's IP address or domain name. You should see the Pagekit web installer.
Follow the prompts by providing the database name, username, and password that you created earlier. Also, provide the username and password for the Pagekit admin account.
Once you complete the installation, you will be redirected to the Pagekit admin dashboard. From there, you can manage your content, themes, and settings.
