How to Install REDAXO on Void Linux

REDAXO is a content management system that allows you to create and manage websites with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing REDAXO on your Void Linux machine.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need:

Step 1: Update and Upgrade Packages

Before we begin the installation of REDAXO, we need to ensure that our system is up to date. To do this, we will run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -Su

This command will update and upgrade all packages on your Void Linux machine.

Step 2: Install Apache and PHP

REDAXO requires a web server and PHP to run. We will install Apache and PHP on our machine using the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S apache php php-fpm

This command will install the Apache web server and PHP on your machine.

Step 3: Install REDAXO

We will install REDAXO using the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S redaxo

This command will install the REDAXO content management system on your machine.

Step 4: Configure REDAXO

After the installation is complete, we need to configure the REDAXO system. We need to edit the Apache configuration file to enable PHP support. To do this, we will run the following command:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

In this file, we need to uncomment the following line:

LoadModule php7_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so

Save and exit the file.

We also need to configure REDAXO. We need to copy the configuration file and change the permissions. To do this, we will run the following command:

sudo cp /usr/share/redaxo/include/master.inc.php /usr/share/redaxo/include/config.inc.php
sudo chown -R apache:apache /usr/share/redaxo/include/config.inc.php

Step 5: Restart Apache

We need to restart the Apache web server to apply the changes we made in the configuration file. To do this, we will run the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6: Access REDAXO

REDAXO should now be accessible by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost/redaxo. You will be prompted to set up an administrator account and password.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed REDAXO on your Void Linux machine.

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!
