Ghost CMS is a CMS intended for the creation of any website on the Internet. What makes it popular is that it has default tools to improve the profitability of the website.

It has many unique themes so you can get an almost unique design for your site. Also, install them with just a few clicks and no complex configurations.

It is widely used worldwide and is one of the most solid alternatives to WordPress. So, you must know how to install it if you are looking for the ideal CMS for you.

Let’s get started.

Install Ghost CMS on Ubuntu 20.04

Before performing any operation on the server, it is recommended that you know that you need a valid A domain pointing to your server. Moreover, we will do the tutorial on a clean Ubuntu installation.

Install Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04

So, Nginx and Apache are the best web servers out there. But in this case, we will opt for Nginx to take advantage of the default configuration of Ghost CMS.

In a Terminal session, update first the server

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Next install it:

sudo apt install nginx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  fontconfig-config fonts-dejavu-core libfontconfig1 libgd3 libjbig0 libjpeg-turbo8 libjpeg8 libnginx-mod-http-image-filter libnginx-mod-http-xslt-filter
  libnginx-mod-mail libnginx-mod-stream libtiff5 libwebp6 libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 libxpm4 libxslt1.1 nginx-common nginx-core
Suggested packages:
  libgd-tools fcgiwrap nginx-doc ssl-cert
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  fontconfig-config fonts-dejavu-core libfontconfig1 libgd3 libjbig0 libjpeg-turbo8 libjpeg8 libnginx-mod-http-image-filter libnginx-mod-http-xslt-filter
  libnginx-mod-mail libnginx-mod-stream libtiff5 libwebp6 libx11-6 libx11-data libxau6 libxcb1 libxdmcp6 libxpm4 libxslt1.1 nginx nginx-common nginx-core

And now proceed to enable it to start with the system.

sudo systemctl enable nginx
Synchronizing state of nginx.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable nginx

Next, check the status of the Nginx service.

sudo systemctl status nginx

Install and configuring MariaDB for Ghost CMS

The next step is to install MariaDB which you can do from the official repositories, or if you want to get a newer version you can do it by installing MariaDB 10.5 on Ubuntu 20.04.

In either case, you have to run the mysql_secure_installation script to assign a root key and other settings.

After that, access the MariaDB shell to create the database and the new user that has permissions on it.

sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE ghostdb;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ghostdb.* TO 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

You can assign a different database name, user name, and password.

Install Ghost CMS on Ubuntu 20.04

The best way to install Ghost is through ghost-cli a tool created by the developers to ease Ghost administration. So, this tool is built with NodeJS so we have to install it.

So, add the repository of version 14.x

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash

Then, install NodeJS along with other useful and recommended packages.

sudo apt install nodejs gcc g++ make

And proceed to install the tool as follows:

sudo npm install ghost-cli@latest -g

Now create the folder where we will install ghost in the path /var/www/.

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/ghost/

Make your user the owner of the folder and assign appropriate permissions to it.

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/ghost/
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/ghost

Now go to the folder and from there perform the installation.

cd /var/www/ghost/
ghost install

And during the installation, you will have to answer some site configuration questions.

? Enter your blog URL: https://[your-domain]
? Enter your MySQL hostname: localhost
? Enter your MySQL username: user
? Enter your MySQL password: [hidden]
? Enter your Ghost database name: ghostdb
? Configuring Ghost
? Setting up instance
? Do you wish to set up Nginx? Yes
? Do you wish to set up Systemd? Yes
? Do you want to start Ghost? (Y/n) Y

When finished, you can access your website and start working. Enjoy it.

Conclusion

The installation of Ghost CMS is easy for all the potential it has. With it, you will be able to deploy a professional website quickly.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Microweber is a compact and quite complete CMS that allows us to deploy our blog or website quickly and easily. In addition to this, it allows us to manage it from a comfortable web interface where you can use a graphical editor to create the site.

With Microweber you can expect everything that a CMS can do, create, manage a website. Ideal for blogging or virtual stores, Microweber is a CMS to take into account.

Install Microweber CMS on Debian 10

Install LAMP on Debian 10

Microweber is a CMS that relies on PHP and a database manager like MariaDB. So we have to install the LAMP on Debian 10 stack.

However, the latest version of Microweber requires at least PHP 7.3 so we have to install PHP 8 on Debian 10.

Within the PHP modules that you have to install, you can’t miss these and other necessary packages.

php8.0 libapache2-mod-php php-common php-mbstring php-xmlrpc php-soap php-mysql php-gd php-xml php-cli php-zip php-curl unzip wget

Creating a new database and user

It would be best to create the database for Microweber CMS ourselves. Also, we will have to create a dedicated user for security reasons.

Open the MariaDB shell

sudo mysql -u root -p

Create the new database:

CREATE DATABASE microweberdb;

The database name can be whatever you want. Now create the user along with the password.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON microweberdb.* TO 'microweberuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'microweberpss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

You can use any other username and password you want.

Now exit the shell

exit;

Now we can continue.

Download and install Microweber CMS on Debian 10

Now we can download and install Microweber. So, do it from the /tmp/ folder and using the command wget.

cd /tmp/
wget https://microweber.com/download.php -O microweber-latest.zip

2021-07-29 18:09:18 (87.5 MB/s) - ‘microweber-latest.zip’ saved [162704055/162704055]

Now create a folder in the Apache root directory where we will unzip the downloaded file.

sudo mkdir /var/www/html/microweber
sudo unzip microweber-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/microweber

Now make the folder belong to Apache and have the proper permissions.

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/microweber/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/microweber/

Then it is convenient to create a new virtualhost for Apache to manage the site properly.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/microweber.conf

Add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName blog.osradar.test
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/microweber/
 
  <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
  </Directory>
 
  <Directory /var/www/html/microweber/>
    Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
  </Directory>

  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/microweber_error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/microweber_access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Remember to change the ServerName value to your domain. Save the changes and close the editor.

Enable the new configuration and the Apache rewrite module.

sudo a2ensite microweber
sudo a2enmod rewrite

Apply the changes by restarting Apache.

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Optional: Installing Certbot and the Let’s Encrypt certificates

Normally this site would be on the Internet which means that we have to use all possible security. So, we should install the Let’s Encrypt certificates to enable HTTPS.

So, install Certbot and its Apache plugin.

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

Then, generate the certificates as follows

sudo certbot --apache --d [your-domain]

Enter your email address and accept the license terms and then restart Apache.

Installing Microweber using the web interface

Now open your web browser and go to https://your-domain and you will see a screen where you can customize the installation.

First, configure the database.

Below, you can configure the layout

And at the end, you can create the Microweber admin user.

So, enjoy it. Now you can start with the work of creating your website.

Conclusion

WordPress dominates the CMS industry but that does not indicate that there is real competition to offer better services. So, now you know how to install Microweber CMS and if you give it a try I am sure you will not be disappointed.

For the creation of blogs there are several alternatives such as Blogger, however, it is not reckless to say that WordPress is the most popular and robust solution in its field.

This is because in WordPress you don’t need programming skills to build your website. On the other hand, it is open source which guarantees its growth and community support. It is also quite customizable and has extensive technical support.

In addition to WordPress, the creators of Blog choose Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to install all its content there, because it is a new and robust version of the most popular distribution in the world.

Let’s install WordPress 5.6 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

1. Upgrade the system

Before you start installing WordPress you must make sure that the system is up to date. With this you will have the latest security patches and the system will be more reliable and stable. To do this, run the following command.

:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

It is always advisable to do this periodically.

2. Install Apache web server

WordPress itself is a web application. Therefore, you need a web server that allows its execution. There are several very good ones like Ngnix or Apache web server. I will use the last one.

:~$ sudo apt install apache2

Now, enable and start the Apache web server service.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2
:~$ sudo systemctl start apache2

The goal of this is to make apache boot when the system boots.

Now, open your web browser and go to http://IP_SERVER

If you see the image above, apache is correctly installed.

3. Install PHP

In this step, you have to install PHP. This in order to be able to run WordPress properly. In addition to the language, it is necessary to install some additional modules.

:~$ sudo apt install php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-soap php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-intl php7.2-mysql php7.2-cli php7.2 php7.2-ldap php7.2-zip php7.2-curl

Now it’s time to check that PHP is working.

Create a file called test.php on /var/www/html/ directory.

:~$ sudo nano /var/www/html/test.php

And add the following:

<?php
echo "PHP is working";
?>

Next, open the file through the web browser http://IP_SERVER/test.php

Finally, PHP is working fine.

4. Install MariaDB

WordPress requires for its operation the installation and configuration of a database manager application.

MariaDB is a great alternative for this since it is free and above all stable. It is also compatible with MySQL as it is a fork of MySQL.

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

Then, enable the service and start the service.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb
:~$ sudo systemctl start mariadb

Now, you need to configure a root key for MariaDB. You can also configure other things there. To do this, run the mysql_secure_installation script.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

As you can see, I said Y, N, Y, Y to the questions.

Once MariaDB is correctly installed and configured, it is necessary to create the database and the WordPress user.

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
USE wordpress;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wordpressuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpresspss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Now, you can install WordPress.

5. Install WordPress

The time has come to install WordPress. First, download it.

:~$ cd /tmp
:~$ wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Now, decompress the file.

:~$ tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz

Then move the folder to /var/www/html. Next, change the folder owner and assign permissions.

:~$ sudo mv wordpress/ /var/www/html/
:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/wordpress/

Now, you can complete the installation from the web interface.

6. Completing the installation

Now, through the web interface, it is necessary to complete the installation. Go to http://IP_SERVER/wordpress and you will see the following.

In the next step, you will have to enter the information corresponding to the database.

Then you can continue with the installation.

Then, enter the information from your website or blog that you want to create. You also have to create the username and the password.

When you continue, you will get the screen to log in, with the admin user and the password you defined.

And finally, you will see the WordPress dashboard.

And that’s it. If you scroll down, you will see the current version.

Conclusion

If you want to create a blog or a personal web site, I think your first option to do so is WordPress, because its installation is not complicated, and because it is free. All this without losing robustness and power.

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a CMS (content manager system) that is to say it is an application that allows you to create a blog of information. However, over time has evolved and not only provides services to create blogs but corporate websites or what you can imagine.

Thanks to WordPress and CMS, publish news and entries, do not require knowledge of HTML or PHP, but everything is visual.

So, if you want to have a personal blog or for educational purposes, WordPress is a pretty good solution.

Install WordPress on Debian 10

1) Install Apache and PHP

Being a web application, you need to have a web server running on our system. Of course, WordPress is compatible with other servers like Nginx, but in this case, we will use Apache webserver.

On the other hand, WordPress is programmed in PHP, so we need the language for it to work.

So, open a terminal session and type:

:~$ sudo apt install apache2 php7.3 libapache2-mod-php7.3 php7.3-common php7.3-mbstring php7.3-xmlrpc php7.3-soap php7.3-gd php7.3-xml php7.3-intl php7.3-mysql php7.3-cli php7.3-ldap php7.3-zip php7.3-curl

Then, create a new PHP file to test the language.

:~$ sudo nano /var/www/html/test.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

After that, open it using the web browser, for example http://you-server/test.php. You will see something like this:

So, Apache and PHP are working.

2) Install MySQL

WordPress requires a database manager. In Debian, we have MySQL which is one of the most popular and makes it a pretty good option for it.

To install it, run the following command:

:~$ sudo apt install default-mysql-server

Then, set a root password and secure the installation.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

Say “y” to all the questions.

After that, it is necessary to create a new database for WordPress. Also, create a new user too.

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on wordpress.* TO 'wordpress_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpress_pss123';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT;

Now, we can continue with the next steps.

3) Install WordPress on Debian 10

Now it is your turn to install WordPress. However, first, you have to download it. For that, I will use wget.

So, run the following command:

:~$ cd /tmp/
:~$ wget -c https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Then, decompress it and move it to the /var/www/html/ folder. Next, set the right permissions to the folder.

:~$ tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz
:~$ sudo mv wordpress/ /var/www/html/
:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/wordpress/

Next, create a new Virtualhost for WordPress.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf

And add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin admin@your_domain.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress
     ServerName your-domain.com

     <Directory /var/www/html/wordpress>
          Options FollowSymlinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
     </Directory>

     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Of course, replace  “your-domain” with yours. Save the changes and close the file.

Then you have to enable the new Virtualhost and also the Apache rewrite module. And for all this to work, then we’ll have to restart Apache.

:~$ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/wordpress.conf
:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now complete the installation.

4) Complete the installation using the web interface

Now, you have to complete the installation using the web browser. Access to your server and you will see this. So, select the installation language.

Next, you will see all the steps you have to complete to install WordPress on Debian 10.

Then, set the parameters of the database.

Next, if everything is OK, you will see this. So you can start with the installation.

After that, you have to define the admin account and the site information.

Next, log in.

Finally, you will see the WordPress Dashboard.

And that is it. You can start to work with WordPress and create your web site.

Conclusion

WordPress is a fairly popular CMS. Thanks to this application, you can create your website in a short time and without great knowledge of HTML. Also, in this post, you have seen that installing it is not too complicated for the great advantages it provides.

Boltwire CMS

Many blogs and all with different needs. That’s why different CMS is required.

Boltwire is a CMS (Content Manager System) that allows you to create blogs quickly and easily. Its main features focus on flexibility and speed. So much so that it does not require a database manager but the same program is responsible for managing the data.

On the other hand, Boltwire stands out for being completely free for our server or VPS. This makes it a solid alternative for personal or even educational projects. Also if our company is starting and we want something basic to start.

Although it is free, it has support for Plugins that extend the functionality of the application. In this way, you will have a robust CMS, free and with extra functions to perform the tasks entrusted.

So, let us start.

Install Boltwire CMS on Debian 9

1) Install Apache Web server

First, we need to install the Apache web server. Apache is one of the most used web servers in the world. It is incredibly flexible and above all secure.

To do this, first, log in to your server and then run this command

:~$ su
:~# apt install apache

Once you have finished installing. Let’s check that it’s working. Open your web browser and go to your server http://your-server. You should see this.

So, Apache is running.

2) Install PHP 7.2

Debian is a robust system but some of its packages are not updated. For example, the case of PHP. The version in the repositories is 7.0 but it is recommended to use at least 7.2 for Boltwire.

So, let us do it. First, install some required packages.

:~# apt-get install software-properties-common unzip

Then, read our post about PHP 7.2 on Debian 9 to complete the process.

How to install PHP 7.2 on Debian 9?

Remember to include these PHP modules:

php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-cli php7.2-tidy php7.2-intl php7.2-curl php7.2-zip

Then, you need to change the PHP configuration in order to get better performance.

:~#  nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

And change the following:

file_uploads = On
allow_url_fopen = On
memory_limit = 256M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
max_execution_time = 360
date.timezone = Your-TIMEZONE

Press CTRL + O to save the changes and CTRL + X to exit.

Next, create a PHP file on /var/www/html/ to test it.

:~# nano /var/www/html/test.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Restart Apache:

:~# systemctl restart apache2

Then, open it using the web browser. http://your-server/test.php. You will see this.

So, PHP is working.

3) Install Boltwire CMS on Debian 9

Boltwire CMS is very easy to install. To do this, we must first download it. In the terminal, write the following:

:~# cd /tmp/
:~# wget https://www.boltwire.com/files/6/boltwire6.02.zip
:~# unzip boltwire6.02.zip

Next, move the file to the Apache web root and change the permissions.

:~# mv boltwire /var/www/html/
:~# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/boltwire/
:~# chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/boltwire/

After this, it is necessary to create a new virtual host for Boltwire so that it can run perfectly:

:~# nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/boltwire.conf

And add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin admin@your_domain.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/html/boltwire
     ServerName your-domain.com

     <Directory /var/www/html/boltwire>
          Options FollowSymlinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
     </Directory>

     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Obviously, replace your-domain with yours. Save the changes and close the file.

Enable the new virtual host and the rewrite module with the following command:

:~# ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/boltwire.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/your-domain.conf
:~# a2enmod rewrite
:~# systemctl restart apache2

In my case the virtual domain is osradar.test. Remember to make the necessary changes.

Now we will have to complete the installation from the web.

Complete the installation using the web browser

Now, open your web browser and go to your server to complete the installation. You will see the following.

After creating the password, you will be asked by the password newly created and the id site.

Next, you can start to create.

Conclusion

Dotclear is an open-source web publishing software published in 2003 by Olivier Meunier. The project’s purpose is to provide a user-friendly tool allowing anyone to publish on the web, regardless of their technical skills. Dotclear possesses a rich functionality that makes it a high-quality publishing tool, equaling and even outperforming other similar tools in some aspects. For example:

• Easy publication.
• Fully customizable theme.
• User-friendly administration.
• Media management.
• Naturally optimized for search engine.
• Complete trackback support.

As you can see, there are many features that make it a serious alternative to our website.

So, let us start.

Getting Dotclear on Ubuntu

1) Install LAMP

The first step is to have a functional LAMP server. Because Dotclear is a web application that requires a database manager.

So you can read our post about how to install LAMP on Ubuntu 18.04.

I will just point out that it’s necessary to install some extra PHP modules. They are:

libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-mysql php7.2-gmp php7.2-curl php7.2-intl php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-cli php7.2-zip

To install them, just type:

:~$ sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-mysql php7.2-gmp php7.2-curl php7.2-intl php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-cli php7.2-zip

2) Configure PHP

In order for Dotclear to work without any problems, it is necessary to modify some parameters of the PHP configuration. So you have to edit the configuration file:

:~$ sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

Now, edit the following parameters.

file_uploads = On
allow_url_fopen = On
short_open_tag = On
memory_limit = 256M
upload_max_filesize = 200M
max_execution_time = 360

I’ll give you a little trick, use in nano the key combination CTRL + W to find the exact term and not waste time.

Next, restart Apache.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

3) Creating the database for Dotclear

Once we have all the components installed, it’s time to create the database dedicated to Dotclear.

So run the following command:

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE dotclear;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dotclear.* TO 'dotclearuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'dotpss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

4) Install Dotclear on Ubuntu 18.04

Now you have to download Dotclear to install it. To do this, run the following commands:

:~$ cd /tmp/
:~$ wget http://download.dotclear.org/latest.tar.gz

Next, decompress it and move it to the Apache root folder.

:~$ tar xvf latest.tar.gz
:~$ sudo mv dotclear /var/www/html/dotclear

After that, it is necessary to set the proper permissions to the folder.

:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/dotclear/
:~$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/dotclear/

Now you have to make a virtual host for Dotclear run correctly.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/dotclear.conf

And add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin admin@your-server.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/dotclear
     ServerName your-server.com
     ServerAlias www.your-server.com

     <Directory /var/www/html/dotclear/>
          Options FollowSymlinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
     </Directory>

     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the changes and close the file.

Next, enable the new virtual host and the rewrite module. After that, restart Apache.

:~$ sudo a2ensite dotclear.conf
:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

5) Complete the installation

Finally, open the web browser and go to the server to run Dotclear. You will see the following:

Then, type your MariaDB credentials and press Continue.

Now, create the admin account.

If everything went right, you’ll see the following message.

Now, you will see the admin panel.

And that’s it.

Conclusion

As you can see, the installation of Dotclear is not complicated, but it opens a new possibility to manage our blog or website. So, this is a very competitive alternative in a market dominated by WordPress.

Kirby is a CMS(Content Manager System) that is presented to us with the great novelty of not requiring a database manager like MariaDB. This is because vital information is stored in documents. All this without losing performance and flexibility.

On the other hand, Kirby offers the possibility to install plugins, to modify the appearance of the site in a very friendly way and the promise to adapt to your project in a way never seen before. Sounds good, so let’s install Kirby CMS on Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux Mint 19.

1. Upgrade the system

The first step is to update the system. To do this, open a terminal and run.

:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

With this you will have an updated system and ready to perform various installations.

It is important to perform this process to have installed the latest security patches and thus the system remains robust and stable.

2. Install Apache web server

As a CMS, you have to install a web server. There are several such as NGinx and lighttpd, however, I will use the Apache web server to perform this installation.

:~$ sudo apt install apache2

Now, you need to enable Apache to boot into the system. To do this, type the following command.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2

Next, check the service status.

:~$ sudo systemctl status apache2

As you can see Apache is working correctly, however, to be even more secure open your web browser and go to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP you will have to see this.

Now, you can continue.

3. Install PHP

Kirby CMS is programmed in PHP. Therefore, it is necessary to install this programming language. It’s simple, so let’s get to it.

:~$ sudo apt install php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-sqlite3 php7.2-soap php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-cli php7.2-curl php7.2-zip

After the installation, you need to configure some things in PHP to make Kirby run smoothly. Open the php.ini file and modify the following.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

file_uploads = On

allow_url_fopen = On

memory_limit = 256M

upload_max_filesize = 100M

max_execution_time = 360

date.timezone = YOUR_TIMEZONE

It is now necessary to test that PHP is correctly installed. Create a file called test.php in /var/www/html and add the following.

:~$ sudo nano /var/www/html/test.php

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Finally, restart apache.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now, open your web browser and go to http://IP_SERVER/test.php. You will see this:

Now, you have PHP working correctly.

4. Download and install Kirby CMS

Now you can download Kirby. For this, we’ll use your GitHub repository as our main source. First place yourself in the Apache folder, install the git tool and then proceed to start downloading Kirby.

:~$ cd /var/www/html

:~$ sudo apt install git

:~$ sudo git clone --recursive https://github.com/getkirby/starterkit.git kirby 

Next, change the permissions to the folder. This is to avoid compatibility problems with permissions when running the program.

:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/kirby/

:~$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/kirby/

So, that’s it.

5. Configure apache

There’s one thing missing for Kirby to be able to execute corrections. So, you need to configure apache.

Create a file named kirby.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available/. Place the following.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/kirby.conf

Next, enable the new configuration and the rewrite module. Finally, restart apache.

:~$ sudo a2ensite kirby.conf

:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Open Kirby on the web browser

So, in your web browser, you can go to http://IP_SERVER/kirby or in my case http://osradar.lan.

Sure, that’s the sample site. The important thing is to go to the admin panel to create the main account. Go to http://ip_SERVER/kirby/panel/installor http://osradar.local/panel/install.

So, enter your data and then click install.

After that, you will see the admin panel.

So, that’s it.

Conclusion

Kirby presents itself as an innovative, simple and fast CMS. In addition, Its features are common to the rest of CMS but not needing a database manager, it becomes quite peculiar.

So, please share this post with your friends.

Microweber is a free CMS (Content Manager System) and modern open source that allows you to create and manage websites in a fairly easy and comfortable way thanks to its drag and drop system.

Thanks to the fact that it is built using Laravel, we can expect quite a large stability. It also has an online store that allows you to purchase the templates you need or create and sell.

So, let’s install Microweber CMS. It is easy.

1. Upgrade the system

First, you need to update the system. To do this, you must have a user who can run commands as a superuser.

Just run:

:~$ su
:~# apt update && apt upgrade

The great advantage of doing this is that you will have the latest security patches available on your system. So the system will be more stable and robust. Quite an advantage for your server.

2. Install Apache Web server

Then you need to install and configure a LAMP server. The first component is already installed which is Linux. Now let’s go for the second one that is a web server. There are several, but I will install the Apache web server.

:~# apt install apache2

Then, enable and start the service.

:~# systemctl enable apache2
:~# systemctl start apache2

Now, check the service status.

:~# systemctl status apache2

Everything is OK.

3. Install and configure MariaDB

Now it is necessary to install MariaDB to continue with the installation of Microweber. We love MariaDB in this site, for being one of the best solutions for the open source database.

:~# apt install mariadb-server

It then enables and initiates the MariaDB service.

:~# systemctl enable mariadb
:~# systemctl start mariadb

Next, configure MariaDB to set the root password.

:~# mysql_secure_installation

After defining the administrator password, the configuration script will ask you other questions. You can answer as you like because it is not vital for this tutorial, however, I answered Y, N, Y, Y.

Now, you need to create the database that Microweber will use. In addition, it is recommended for security reasons, to create a user dedicated to the program.

:~# mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE microweberdb;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON microweberdb.* TO 'microweberuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'microweberpss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

4. Install and configure PHP

Now it’s PHP’s turn.

:~# apt install php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-common php7.0-mbstring php7.0-xmlrpc php7.0-soap php7.0-mysql php7.0-gd php7.0-xml php7.0-cli php7.0-zip

Now, in order for Microweber CMS to run properly, it is necessary to make some changes to the PHP configuration. Edit /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini and make the following changes.

:~# nano /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

memory_limit = 256M
upload_max_filesize = 150M
max_execution_time = 360
date.timezone = YOUR_TIMEZONE

Note: use CTRL + W to find easily the options.

Finally, restart Apache web server.

:~# systemctl restart apache2

5. Install Microweber CMS

Now it’s time to install Microweber CMS. Before I install two packages to be able to download and unzip.

:~# apt install unzip wget

After that, now download it.

:~# cd /tmp/
:~# wget https://microweber.com/download.php -O microweber-latest.zip

Now, unzip the downloaded file.

:~# mkdir /var/www/html/microweber
:~# unzip microweber-latest.zip -d /var/www/html/microweber

Now for Microweber to run correctly, you need to change the permissions to the folder.

:~# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/microweber/
:~# chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/microweber/

Finally, enable the rewrite module on Apache.

:~# a2enmod rewrite
:~# systemctl restart apache2

6. Complete the Microweber installation

Now you can open your web browser and access http://IP_SERVER/microweber and complete the installation.

Scroll down, and set the blog template.

Next, create the admin account.
