TYPO3 is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) used by web developers to create dynamic websites. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install TYPO3 on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Ensure your system is up-to-date by running the following command on your Ubuntu server:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
TYPO3 is a web-based CMS, so you need to install a web server on your Ubuntu server. In this tutorial, we will use Apache web server. Install Apache by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install apache2
TYPO3 is written in PHP, so you need to install PHP on your Ubuntu server. Install PHP and some required PHP modules by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-mcrypt php-curl php-gd php-xml php-dom php-mbstring
Restart Apache to enable this module with:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
TYPO3 requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB as our database server. Install MariaDB by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
After installation, start the MariaDB service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Secure your MariaDB installation running:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
And answer the questions regarding the root user password, removing anonymous users, etc.
Create a new database for TYPO3 by logging in to the MariaDB server with:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Enter your root password when prompted.
Create a new database with:
CREATE DATABASE typo3db;
Create a new user with access to this database:
CREATE USER 'typo3user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
Grant privileges to the database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON typo3db.* TO 'typo3user'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit the MariaDB server:
exit
Download the latest version of TYPO3 from the official website:
wget https://get.typo3.org/10.4.18 -O typo3.zip
Extract the files from the archive:
sudo apt-get install unzip
unzip typo3.zip
Move the extracted files to the web server directory:
sudo mv typo3_src-10.4.18 /var/www/html/typo3
Go to the TYPO3 directory:
cd /var/www/html/typo3
TYPO3 requires additional manual configuration, as it is not yet ready to be tested out of the box.
In order to complete the installation, type this in the terminal:
touch FIRST_INSTALL
Go to the TYPO3 installation page following the steps shared in the installation guide, now TYPO3 will take care of the database setup and configuration, and it will guide you step by step through the process.
After you finish the TYPO3 installation you can start using its backend by accessing the following link:
http://server_ip_or_domain/typo3/
You can login with the user name "admin" and the password "password".
Congratulations, you now have TYPO3 installed on Ubuntu Server Latest. You are ready to start working on creating amazing websites using TYPO3 CMS!
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
