How to Install WonderCMS on FreeBSD Latest

WonderCMS is a lightweight and user-friendly content management system that allows you to create and maintain simple websites. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install WonderCMS on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing WonderCMS on FreeBSD, you need to ensure that you have the following:

• A FreeBSD Latest server
• Root access to the server
• A web server like Apache or Nginx
• PHP version 5.5 or higher

Step 1: Update the System

The first step is to update the system packages on your FreeBSD server. To do this, log in to your server using SSH and run the following command:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade

This will update all the system packages to their latest versions.

Step 2: Install Apache and PHP

After updating the system packages, you need to install Apache and PHP on your FreeBSD server. To do this, run the following command:

sudo pkg install apache24 mod_php73

This will install Apache web server and PHP version 7.3, which is compatible with WonderCMS.

Step 3: Configure the Web Server

Once you have installed Apache and PHP, you need to configure the web server to work with WonderCMS. First, start the Apache service by running the following command:

sudo service apache24 start

Next, create a new virtual host configuration file for WonderCMS. To do this, run the following command:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/wondercms.conf

And add the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName your-domain.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/wondercms
    <Directory /usr/local/www/wondercms>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/wondercms_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/wondercms_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace your-domain.com with your own domain name. Once done, save and close the file.

Step 4: Install WonderCMS

Now, download the latest version of WonderCMS from their official website with the following command:

sudo wget https://www.wondercms.com/download.php

Extract the downloaded zip file to the /usr/local/www/ directory with the following command:

sudo unzip -q download.php -d /usr/local/www/

Change the ownership of the wondercms directory to the Apache user with the following command:

sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/wondercms

Step 5: Access WonderCMS Web Installer

Finally, you can now access the WonderCMS web installer from your web browser. Open your web browser and navigate to http://your-domain.com. You will see the WonderCMS web installer page. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Once the installation is complete, you can log in to the WonderCMS admin panel by navigating to http://your-domain.com/wondercms/admin. Use the credentials you have set during the installation process to log in.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed WonderCMS on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start creating and managing your website pages with WonderCMS.
