Dotclear is a free and open-source content management system that allows you to create and maintain a blog or website. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Dotclear on your Windows 10 computer.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items:
Extract the contents of the Dotclear archive that you downloaded to a directory on your computer. For this tutorial, we'll assume you've saved it in C:\xampp\htdocs\dotclear.
Launch your preferred web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin.
Create a new database for Dotclear by clicking on the "New" button in the left-hand menu. Choose a name for your new database and click "Create".
Navigate to http://localhost/dotclear/install/index.php in your web browser.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process. When prompted, enter the database information (database name, username, and password) you created in step 3.
Once installation is complete, navigate to http://localhost/dotclear/admin/ and log in with the username and password you provided during the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dotclear on your Windows 10 computer. You can now start customizing your blog or website with your preferred themes and plugins.
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!
