To ensure the security of your website's files, it is recommended to set the correct permissions for the GetSimple CMS directory. Use the following command to set the correct permissions:

This command will set the ownership of the GetSimple CMS directory to the Apache user and group.

Step 4: Configure the Web Server

The next step is to configure your web server to serve the GetSimple CMS files. For instance, if you're using Apache, create a new virtual host by editing your Apache configuration file "httpd.conf" or "apache2.conf," and add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerAdmin [email protected]
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/getsimple/
   ServerName example.com
   ServerAlias www.example.com
   <Directory /var/www/html/getsimple/>
      Options FollowSymLinks

      Require all granted
   </Directory>
   ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/getsimple_error.log
   CustomLog /var/log/httpd/getsimple_access.log combined

Replace "example.com" with your domain name or IP address. After you have added the above settings into the configuration file, save it and restart the Apache service:

systemctl restart httpd
