PyroCMS<\/strong> is an open-source, modular content management system (CMS) built on the Laravel PHP framework. It is highly flexible and can be used for building websites, applications, and managing content. In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install PyroCMS on an Ubuntu 24.04 server, which is perfect for deployment on a VPS server<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

Before starting, it is important to update your Ubuntu 24.04 server to ensure all packages are up to date. Run the following commands to update your package list and install any available updates:<\/p>\n

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 2: Install LAMP Stack<\/h2>\n
PyroCMS requires a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack to function. If you haven\u2019t installed the LAMP stack yet, you can do so by running the following commands:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install apache2 mysql-server php php-cli php-mysql php-mbstring php-xml php-curl unzip -y<\/code><\/pre>\n
Once the installation is complete, start and enable Apache and MySQL:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo systemctl start apache2\r\nsudo systemctl enable apache2\r\nsudo systemctl start mysql\r\nsudo systemctl enable mysql\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 3: Secure MySQL<\/h2>\n
To secure MySQL, run the MySQL security script:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/code><\/pre>\n
Follow the prompts to remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove the test database. This will help improve the security of your MySQL server.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Create a MySQL Database for PyroCMS<\/h2>\n
Log in to the MySQL shell to create a new database and user for PyroCMS:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql -u root -p<\/code><\/pre>\n
Run the following commands to create the database, user, and grant privileges:<\/p>\n
\r\nCREATE DATABASE pyrodb;\r\nCREATE USER 'pyrouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strongpassword';\r\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pyrodb.* TO 'pyrouser'@'localhost';\r\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nEXIT;\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 5: Install Composer<\/h2>\n
PyroCMS uses Composer for managing dependencies. Install Composer globally on your server with the following commands:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo apt install curl -y\r\ncurl -sS https:\/\/getcomposer.org\/installer | php\r\nsudo mv composer.phar \/usr\/local\/bin\/composer\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 6: Install PyroCMS<\/h2>\n
Next, navigate to the \/var\/www<\/code> directory and use Composer to install PyroCMS:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\r\ncomposer create-project pyrocms\/pyrocms pyro --prefer-dist<\/code><\/pre>\n
Once PyroCMS is installed, set the correct permissions for the project directory:<\/p>\n
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/pyro\r\nsudo chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/pyro<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 7: Configure Apache for PyroCMS<\/h2>\n
Now, you need to configure Apache to serve the PyroCMS application. Create a new virtual host configuration file for PyroCMS:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/pyro.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n
Add the following configuration to the file (replace your_domain<\/code> with your actual domain name or server IP):<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n    ServerAdmin admin@your_domain\r\n    ServerName your_domain\r\n    DocumentRoot \/var\/www\/pyro\/public\r\n\r\n    \r\n        AllowOverride All\r\n        Require all granted\r\n    \r\n\r\n    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/error.log\r\n    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/access.log combined\r\n\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Save and exit the file, then enable the new virtual host and rewrite module:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo a2ensite pyro.conf\r\nsudo a2enmod rewrite\r\nsudo systemctl restart apache2\r\n        <\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 8: Complete PyroCMS Installation<\/h2>\n
Now that Apache is configured, you can complete the PyroCMS installation by navigating to your server’s IP address or domain name in a web browser:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/your_domain<\/code><\/pre>\n
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the PyroCMS setup by entering the database credentials you created earlier. Once the installation is finished, you can log in to the PyroCMS admin panel and start building your website.<\/p>\n
Step 9: Enable SSL with Let’s Encrypt (Optional)<\/h2>\n
For security reasons, it\u2019s important to enable SSL on your VPS server<\/strong>. You can use Let\u2019s Encrypt to obtain a free SSL certificate. First, install Certbot:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache -y<\/code><\/pre>\n
Next, run the following command to obtain and configure the SSL certificate for your domain:<\/p>\n
sudo certbot --apache -d your_domain<\/code><\/pre>\n
Follow the prompts to complete the SSL setup. Certbot will automatically configure Apache to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS.<\/p>\n
