WonderCMS is a lightweight, simple, and fast content management system (CMS) that requires no database and is ideal for small websites or personal blogs. In this guide, we’ll walk through the steps to install WonderCMS on AlmaLinux 9.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Update Your System<\/h2>\n

Before starting the installation, it\u2019s essential to update your AlmaLinux 9 system to ensure you have the latest security patches and software updates. Open your terminal and run the following commands:<\/p>\n

sudo dnf update -y<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 2: Install Apache Web Server<\/h2>\n
WonderCMS requires a web server to function. In this case, we will use Apache. Install Apache on AlmaLinux 9 with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo dnf install httpd -y<\/code><\/pre>\n
Once installed, start and enable Apache to run at boot:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo systemctl start httpd\r\nsudo systemctl enable httpd\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 3: Install PHP<\/h2>\n
WonderCMS is built on PHP, so you\u2019ll need to install PHP along with some necessary extensions:<\/p>\n
sudo dnf install php php-mbstring php-json -y<\/code><\/pre>\n
After installation, restart Apache to apply the changes:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart httpd<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 4: Download and Set Up WonderCMS<\/h2>\n
Now, you can download the latest version of WonderCMS. Navigate to the Apache root directory and use the following command:<\/p>\n
\r\ncd \/var\/www\/html\r\nsudo wget https:\/\/github.com\/robiso\/wondercms\/releases\/download\/3.3.3\/WonderCMS-3.3.3.zip\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Extract the downloaded ZIP file:<\/p>\n
sudo unzip WonderCMS-3.3.3.zip<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 5: Set Permissions<\/h2>\n
Set the appropriate permissions so that WonderCMS can run smoothly:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo chown -R apache:apache \/var\/www\/html\r\nsudo chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/html\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 6: Configure Apache for WonderCMS<\/h2>\n
Create a virtual host configuration file for WonderCMS:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/wondercms.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n
Insert the following configuration:<\/p>\n
\r\n<VirtualHost *:80>\r\n    ServerAdmin admin@yourdomain.com\r\n    DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\r\n    ServerName yourdomain.com\r\n    ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com\r\n\r\n    <Directory \/var\/www\/html\/>\r\n        AllowOverride All\r\n    <\/Directory>\r\n\r\n    ErrorLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/wondercms-error.log\r\n    CustomLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/wondercms-access.log combined\r\n<\/VirtualHost>\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Save the file and exit. Then restart Apache:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart httpd<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 7: Access WonderCMS<\/h2>\n
Now that WonderCMS is installed and the web server is configured, you can access it by typing your server’s IP address or domain name into your web browser:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/yourdomain.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
WonderCMS will now be up and running, and you can begin creating your site!<\/p>\n
