MODX is an open-source content management system that can be used for building dynamic websites and web applications. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing MODX on your macOS computer.
Before installing MODX on macOS, you need to ensure the following requirements have been met:
First, you need to download MODX from their official website (https://modx.com/). Select the version you want to install and download it on your macOS computer.
Once the download is complete, extract the MODX archive to a directory on your computer. You can use your Finder to extract the archive.
Before installing MODX, you need to create a database for it to use. You can use tools like phpMyAdmin to create a database.
You need to configure your web server to serve the MODX files. If you are using Apache, you can create a new virtual host configuration in /etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf. Here is an example virtual host configuration for MODX:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yourdomain.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/modx
<Directory "/path/to/modx">
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now you can install MODX by navigating to the URL of your new virtual host in your web browser. Follow the installer instructions and provide the required information about your database and website configuration.
When the installation process is complete, you can test your MODX installation by visiting your website in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed MODX on your macOS computer.
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!
