WonderCMS is a free and open-source content management system that is lightweight, fast, and simple. It is written in PHP and requires no database. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install WonderCMS on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you begin, you need the following:
First, we need to update the system to the latest version. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
We will use Apache as our web server. Run the following command to install Apache:
sudo apt install apache2
We need to install PHP and some of its extensions to run WonderCMS. Run the following command to install PHP and its extensions:
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-gd php-xml php-mbstring
We need to configure Apache to serve WonderCMS. Run the following command to open the Apache configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
DocumentRoot /var/www/wondercms/
<Directory /var/www/wondercms/>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Next, we need to enable the rewrite module. Run the following command to enable the rewrite module:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
We will now download and install WonderCMS. Run the following commands to download and install WonderCMS:
cd /var/www/
sudo wget https://www.wondercms.com/download/wondercms-3-1-2.zip
sudo unzip wondercms-3-1-2.zip
sudo rm wondercms-3-1-2.zip
sudo mv wondercms/* wondercms/.htaccess /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/
