How to Install Orchard CMS with LAMP Stack on AlmaLinux 8

---

Orchard Core is an open-source modular and multi-tenant application framework built with ASP.NET Core, and a content management system (CMS) built on top of that framework. In this article, we are going to learn how to install Orchard CMS on AlmaLinux 8. So, let’s get started.

Checkout the Orchard CMS Project Here.

Try this wiki on our VPS. Starting at just $5/month with 24x7 In-house customer support.

Pre-requisites :

---

• A system with AlmaLinux 8 installed and running.

• root access to the system.

• Docker installed and running, for this, you can refer to one of our guides on installing the Docker on AlmaLinux 8.

• LAMP Stack installed and running, for this, you can refer to one of our guides on installing the LAMP Stack (Apache, MariaDB, and PHP).

Once you're all set, we'll proceed with Orchard CMS installation and configuration.

Create Database

---

Let us begin with creating a Database and a user. We will then grant the required privileges to the user so it can interact with the Database.

mysql -u root

CREATE DATABASE ccpresta;

CREATE USER 'ccpresta'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'UYGVc%$#Erfgt*&^%4';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ccpresta.* TO 'ccpresta'@'localhost';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

quit

The above commands will give complete access to ccpresta Database to the user ccpresta.We would suggest using a strong and long password.

Configure PHP Settings for Orchard CMS

---

Configure PHP Memory Limit, Post max size, and Upload max filesize. You can change the limit as per your need.

sed -i 's/memory_limit = .*/memory_limit = 256M/' /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

sed -i 's/post_max_size = .*/post_max_size = 64M/' /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

sed -i 's/upload_max_filesize = .*/upload_max_filesize = 64M/' /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

Enable Apache module if not already enabled then restart the Web Server.

a2enmod php7.4

systemctl restart apache2

Enable http and https ( 80/443/8080 ):

---

To enable http and https connection through the firewall, follow the commands:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port 8080/tcp

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port 80/tcp

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port 443/tcp

firewall-cmd --reload

Install Orchard CMS using Docker

---

Let's install Orchard CMS using below command:

docker run --name orchardcms -p 8080:80 orchardproject/orchardcore-cms-linux:latest

Configuring Orchard CMS

http://dev1.domainhere.info:8080

Replace the dev1.domainhere.info with the actual IP or domain configured on the server.

Input the Database details which was configured earlier. Follow the below steps:
