How to Install WonderCMS on Elementary OS Latest

WonderCMS is a simple, lightweight, and modular CMS (Content Management System) that allows you to create and manage your website with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install WonderCMS on your Elementary OS Latest operating system.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding further, please make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • Elementary OS Latest installed on your system
  • Apache2 web server installed and running
  • PHP version 5.6 or greater installed
  • MySQL database installed

Step 1: Download WonderCMS

First, you need to visit the official website of WonderCMS at https://www.wondercms.com and download the latest version of the WonderCMS. You can do this by clicking the “Get it now” button.

Once the download is complete, unzip the downloaded file and copy the extracted folder to the document root directory of your web server. In Elementary OS, the document root directory is located at /var/www/html/.

$ cd Downloads/
$ unzip wondercms-vx.x.x.zip
$ sudo mv wondercms-vx.x.x /var/www/html/wondercms/

Step 2: Configure MySQL Database

After you have installed WonderCMS files, you will now need to create a new database for WonderCMS in MySQL. Access the MySQL command-line interface using the following command:

$ mysql -u root -p

You will be prompted to provide your MySQL root password. Once you successfully log in to the MySQL shell, create a new database, a user, and grant all the permissions to the user on the database using the following commands:

mysql> CREATE DATABASE wondercmsdb;
mysql> CREATE USER ‘wondercmsuser’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘mypassword’;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wondercmsdb.* TO ‘wondercmsuser’@’localhost’;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;

If you are using a remote MySQL server to manage your databases, replace ‘localhost’ with the address of the MySQL server.

Step 3: Configure WonderCMS

Now we need to configure the WonderCMS installation. Navigate to the WonderCMS installation directory in your web browser, for example, http://yourdomain.com/wondercms/. You will be redirected to the WonderCMS installation page.

Select your preferred language and click on “Next” to continue.

On the next page, enter the following details:

  • Database name - Enter the name of the database you created earlier.
  • Database user - Enter the username of the database user you created earlier.
  • Database password - Enter the password of the database user that you created.
  • Database host - Enter localhost or the IP address of the remote MySQL server.
  • Table prefix - If you are hosting multiple WonderCMS installations on the same database, enter a unique table prefix for all the installations.

Once you have entered all the details, click on the “Install” button. WonderCMS will now create the necessary database tables and install the system files.

After the installation is complete, you will be redirected to the WonderCMS login page. Enter the default username and password provided at the end of the installation process to gain access to the CMS dashboard.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed WonderCMS on your Elementary OS Latest operating system. You can now start creating and managing your website with ease with WonderCMS.
