Typemill is a flat file CMS that helps to create beautiful, simple and elegant websites. It's a lightweight alternative to traditional CMS solutions like WordPress or Joomla, and it doesn't require a database. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Typemill on Kali Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Kali Linux Latest
Apache version 2.x.x or higher
PHP version 7.4 or higher

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

First, update your system's package lists:

sudo apt update

Then, install Apache and PHP:

sudo apt install apache2 php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-common php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-soap php7.4-gd php7.4-xml php7.4-cli php7.4-zip php7.4-curl

Verify that Apache and PHP are installed correctly by running:

sudo systemctl status apache2

You should see an output similar to this:

● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2021-10-24 13:52:44 EDT; 1h 30min ago
   Main PID: 8197 (apache2)
      Tasks: 55 (limit: 2353)
     Memory: 12.9M

Step 2: Download Typemill

Go to the Typemill website and download the latest version of the software.

Alternatively, you can use the following command to download the software directly:

wget https://github.com/typemill/typemill/releases/download/v1.7.2/typemill.zip

Step 3: Install Typemill

Create a new directory in your webroot directory:

sudo mkdir /var/www/html/typemill

Unzip the Typemill package to this directory:

sudo unzip typemill.zip -d /var/www/html/typemill

Change the ownership of the directory to the Apache user:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/typemill

Step 4: Configure Apache

Create a new virtual host file for Typemill:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/typemill.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin [email protected]
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/typemill
     ServerName example.com
     ServerAlias www.example.com
     <Directory /var/www/html/typemill>
          Options FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
     </Directory>
     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace example.com with your domain name.

Enable the typemill.conf site:

sudo a2ensite typemill.conf

Restart the Apache service for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart apache2
