BigTree CMS is a powerful and flexible content management system that allows you to create and manage your website with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install BigTree CMS on Void Linux.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install some required packages on Void Linux. Open your terminal and type the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S apache2 php php-mcrypt php-gd php-mbstring php-json php-pdo php-pdo_mysql php-xml php-zip
This command will install Apache, PHP, and all the required modules.
Next, download the latest version of BigTree CMS from their official website: https://www.bigtreecms.org/download. Once downloaded, extract the archive to your web server document root directory using the following command:
sudo unzip bigtree.zip -d /var/www/html/
This command extracts the BigTree CMS files to the /var/www/html/ directory.
To ensure that BigTree CMS can write to the necessary files and directories, we need to change the permissions of some directories. Run the following commands to change the ownership and permissions:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/
Now, we need to configure our web server to serve BigTree CMS. Open your Apache configuration file using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save the file and exit.
Restart your Apache server to apply the changes using the following command:
sudo service apache2 restart
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/. You should see the BigTree CMS installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed BigTree CMS on your Void Linux server. You can now start creating and managing your website with BigTree 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!
