How to Install WonderCMS on EndeavourOS Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install WonderCMS on your EndeavourOS Latest distribution

Step 1 - Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that your system is fully updated:

sudo pacman -Syu

Step 2 - Install Apache Web Server

WonderCMS requires Apache Web Server to function. To install Apache, run the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache

After the installation is complete, start the Apache service and enable it to start automatically at system boot:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 3 - Install PHP

After installing Apache, we need to install PHP to execute the WonderCMS code. To install PHP, issue the following command:

sudo pacman -S php php-apache

Once the installation is complete, restart the Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 4 - Install WonderCMS

Download the latest version of WonderCMS from their official website:

wget https://github.com/robiso/wondercms/releases/latest/download/wondercms-latest.zip

Unzip the downloaded file and move it to the Apache webroot directory:

unzip wondercms-latest.zip -d /srv/http/

Ensure that your Apache user owns the WonderCMS directory:

chown -R http:http /srv/http/wondercms/

Step 5 - Configure WonderCMS

WonderCMS comes with a config.php file in the root directory that stores all the configuration settings. Go to the config.php file and update the following settings:

define('WONDER_INSTALL', true);  // set to false after you install
define('WONDER_USERNAME', 'username');
define('WONDER_PASSWORD', 'password');

Set your desired username and password, and set WONDER_INSTALL to false.

Step 6 - Access WonderCMS

Now that the installation is complete, access WonderCMS using your web browser by navigating to http://localhost/wondercms/.

You should be prompted to enter your username and password, which you have set in the config.php file.

Once logged in, you can start creating content for your website.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed WonderCMS on your EndeavourOS Latest distribution.
