How to install TYPO3 on Ubuntu Server Latest

TYPO3 is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) used by web developers to create dynamic websites. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install TYPO3 on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Step 1: Update the system

Ensure your system is up-to-date by running the following command on your Ubuntu server:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Step 2: Install Apache web server

TYPO3 is a web-based CMS, so you need to install a web server on your Ubuntu server. In this tutorial, we will use Apache web server. Install Apache by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install apache2

Step 3: Install PHP

TYPO3 is written in PHP, so you need to install PHP on your Ubuntu server. Install PHP and some required PHP modules by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-mcrypt php-curl php-gd php-xml php-dom php-mbstring

Restart Apache to enable this module with:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 4: Install MariaDB

TYPO3 requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB as our database server. Install MariaDB by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

After installation, start the MariaDB service:

sudo systemctl start mariadb

Secure your MariaDB installation running:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

And answer the questions regarding the root user password, removing anonymous users, etc.

Step 5: Create a new database for TYPO3

Create a new database for TYPO3 by logging in to the MariaDB server with:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your root password when prompted.

Create a new database with:

CREATE DATABASE typo3db;

Create a new user with access to this database:

CREATE USER 'typo3user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';

Grant privileges to the database:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON typo3db.* TO 'typo3user'@'localhost';

Flush the privileges:

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Exit the MariaDB server:

exit

Step 6: Download TYPO3

Download the latest version of TYPO3 from the official website:

wget https://get.typo3.org/10.4.18 -O typo3.zip

Extract the files from the archive:

sudo apt-get install unzip

unzip typo3.zip

Move the extracted files to the web server directory:

sudo mv typo3_src-10.4.18 /var/www/html/typo3

Step 7: Configure TYPO3

Go to the TYPO3 directory:

cd /var/www/html/typo3

TYPO3 requires additional manual configuration, as it is not yet ready to be tested out of the box.

In order to complete the installation, type this in the terminal:

touch FIRST_INSTALL

Go to the TYPO3 installation page following the steps shared in the installation guide, now TYPO3 will take care of the database setup and configuration, and it will guide you step by step through the process.

Step 8: Access the TYPO3 backend

After you finish the TYPO3 installation you can start using its backend by accessing the following link:

http://server_ip_or_domain/typo3/

You can login with the user name "admin" and the password "password".

Conclusion

Congratulations, you now have TYPO3 installed on Ubuntu Server Latest. You are ready to start working on creating amazing websites using TYPO3 CMS!
