How to Install Chyrp Lite on Fedora Server Latest?

Chyrp Lite is a lightweight and flexible blogging platform that allows you to easily create a blog or website. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Chyrp Lite on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Chyrp Lite on your Fedora server, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

A running instance of Fedora Server Latest.
A user account with administrative privileges.

Step 1: Install LAMP Stack

Chyrp Lite requires a LAMP stack to run. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to install the LAMP stack on our Fedora server. To install it, run the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd php mariadb mariadb-server php-mysqlnd

After the installation is complete, start the Apache web server and MariaDB database server by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb

To ensure that they start every time the server boots, enable them with the following commands:

sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

Step 2: Create a Database

Next, we need to create a database for Chyrp Lite. To do this, follow these steps:

Log in to the MariaDB database server using the following command:
```
sudo mysql -u root
```
Once you are logged in, create a new database by executing the following command:
```
CREATE DATABASE chyrp;
```

Next, create a new user and grant all privileges to the Chyrp database:

CREATE USER 'chyrp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chyrp.* TO 'chyrp_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Replace the password with a strong password of your choice.

Finally, exit the MariaDB shell by typing the following command:
```
exit
```

Step 3: Download and Install Chyrp Lite

With the LAMP stack and database ready, we can proceed to download and install Chyrp Lite. To do this, follow these steps:

Download the latest version of Chyrp Lite from the following link:

https://github.com/xenocrat/chyrp-lite/releases

Extract the downloaded archive to the web root directory:

sudo tar -xvf chyrplite-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/

Rename the extracted folder to something simpler like chyrp:

sudo mv /var/www/html/chyrplite-YYYY-MM-DD /var/www/html/chyrp

Set the proper ownership and permissions on the Chyrp Lite directory:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/chyrp
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/chyrp

Step 4: Configure Chyrp Lite

Now we need to configure Chyrp Lite by editing the config.yaml file. Follow these steps:

Open the config.yaml file for editing:

sudo nano /var/www/html/chyrp/config.yaml

Modify the database settings to match the database credentials we created earlier:
```
db:
    driver: mysql
    username: chyrp_user
    password: password
    host: localhost
    port: 3306
    name: chyrp
```
Replace password with the password you set earlier.
Save and exit the file.

Step 5: Access Chyrp Lite

Finally, we can access Chyrp Lite by opening a web browser and navigating to the server's IP address or domain name. For example:

http://your-server-ip/chyrp/

You will be prompted to create an administrator account, and once that is done, you can start using Chyrp Lite to create your blog or website.
