WonderCMS is a lightweight and easy-to-use content management system that is available for free. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing WonderCMS on macOS using the command line.
Before starting, make sure that you have the following installed on your macOS:
First, visit the official WonderCMS website and download the latest version of the CMS.
Once you have downloaded WonderCMS, extract the contents of the archive to your desired location. You can use any file archiving utility for this step.
To use WonderCMS, you need to configure Apache. Open the Apache configuration file, which is located at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. You can use any text editor for this, such as Vim or Nano.
Add or modify the following lines in the Apache configuration file:
DocumentRoot "/path/to/wondercms"
<Directory "/path/to/wondercms">
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
Require all granted
</Directory>
Replace "/path/to/wondercms" with the actual path to the WonderCMS directory that you extracted in step 2.
You need to create a MySQL database for WonderCMS to store your content. To do this, open the terminal and type the following command:
mysql -u root -p
This will prompt you for the MySQL root password. Once you enter the password, you will enter the MySQL shell.
Next, create a new database by typing the following command:
CREATE DATABASE wondercms;
Replace "wondercms" with your desired database name.
Use the following command to import WonderCMS database into your newly created database:
mysql -u root -p wondercms < /path/to/wondercms/database/wondercms.sql
Replace "/path/to/wondercms/database/wondercms.sql" with the path to the WonderCMS database file.
Now that you have completed the installation and configuration of WonderCMS, you can access it by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install WonderCMS on macOS using the command line. After installation, you can start adding content to your website using the simple and intuitive WonderCMS interface.
