MODX is a popular open-source Content Management System (CMS) that allows developers to create and manage websites. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MODX on a Windows 11 machine.
Before installing MODX, please ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
To download MODX, visit their official website: https://modx.com/download/. Click the "Download MODX Revolution" button. Once the download is complete, extract the MODX package to your web server directory (for example, C:\xampp\htdocs).
Next, you'll need to create a new database for MODX to use. Open your preferred database management tool and create a new database.
After the database is created, you'll need to create a user with full permissions to the database. Make sure to take note of the database username and password, as you will need this information later.
With the MODX files extracted to your server directory, navigate to the MODX setup page in your web browser. For example, if you installed MODX in the C:\xampp\htdocs folder, the setup URL would be http://localhost/setup.
Follow the prompts to configure your MODX installation. You'll need to provide your database credentials, set up an admin account, and choose your website settings.
Once the MODX installation is complete, you can access your site by visiting your web server's URL in your browser. For example, if you installed MODX in the C:\xampp\htdocs folder and your web server is running on http://localhost, the MODX site URL would be http://localhost/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MODX on your Windows 11 machine. You can now start building and managing your website using this powerful 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!
