How to Install BigTree CMS on Void Linux

BigTree CMS is a powerful and flexible content management system that allows you to create and manage your website with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install BigTree CMS on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

A server with Void Linux installed
A web server: Apache, Nginx, or Lighttpd
PHP 5.5 or later with the following modules enabled: mcrypt, gd, mbstring, json, pdo, pdo_mysql, xml, zip.

Step 1: Installing Required Packages

First, we need to install some required packages on Void Linux. Open your terminal and type the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S apache2 php php-mcrypt php-gd php-mbstring php-json php-pdo php-pdo_mysql php-xml php-zip

This command will install Apache, PHP, and all the required modules.

Step 2: Downloading BigTree CMS

Next, download the latest version of BigTree CMS from their official website: https://www.bigtreecms.org/download. Once downloaded, extract the archive to your web server document root directory using the following command:

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

This command extracts the BigTree CMS files to the /var/www/html/ directory.

Step 3: Setting Permissions

To ensure that BigTree CMS can write to the necessary files and directories, we need to change the permissions of some directories. Run the following commands to change the ownership and permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/

Step 4: Configuring Apache

Now, we need to configure our web server to serve BigTree CMS. Open your Apache configuration file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the end of the file:

<Directory /var/www/html>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save the file and exit.

Restart your Apache server to apply the changes using the following command:

sudo service apache2 restart
