How to Install WonderCMS on Linux Mint

WonderCMS is a simple and lightweight Content Management System that does not require a database to function. It can be easily installed on Linux Mint by following these simple steps:

Prerequisites

Before installing WonderCMS, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

Linux Mint OS installed on your machine
Apache/Nginx web server installed and running
PHP 5.6+ installed on your system

Step 1: Download WonderCMS

Go to the official WonderCMS website and download the latest stable release of the software in the ZIP format.

After the download is complete, extract the ZIP archive to a directory on your Mint system.

Step 2: Configure Web Server

To configure the web server, you have two options i.e., Apache or Nginx. You can go for either of them.

Apache configuration

Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:
```
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
```

Add the following VirtualHost configuration at the end of the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/WonderCMS/
        <Directory "/var/www/html/WonderCMS/">
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.
Enable the rewrite module using the following command:
```
sudo a2enmod rewrite
```
Restart the Apache web server using the following command:
```
sudo service apache2 restart
```

Nginx configuration

Open the Nginx configuration file using the following command:
```
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
```

Add the following server block at the end of the file:

server {
   listen      80;
   root        /var/www/html/WonderCMS;
   index       index.php;
   server_name example.com;

   location / {
           try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
   }

   location ~ \.php$ {
           include fastcgi_params;
           fastcgi_index index.php;
           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
           fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
   }
}

Save and close the file.
