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

Pre-requisites :

A system with Rocky Linux 8 installed and running.
root access to the system.
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 Microweber 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 crowncloud;

CREATE USER 'crowncloud'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE';

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

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

QUIT

The above commands will give complete access to the user crowncloud. Replace YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE with a safe and secure password.

Configuring Apache vHost

Create a new folder named Microweber CMS under the public folder.

mkdir -p /var/www/html/Microweber

Create a new apache configuration file dev.domainhere.info.conf for the domain with the following command:

vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/dev.domainhere.info.conf

Add the following codes:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName dev.domainhere.info
ServerAlias dev.domainhere.info
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/Microweber

<Directory /var/www/html/Microweber/>
    Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/dev.domainhere.info-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/dev.domainhere.info-access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Change dev.domainhere.info with Your Domain Name.

Now, press the Esc key, and type in :wq! and press the Enter key to save and exit the file.

Now, restart & check the apache with the following commands:

systemctl restart httpd

systemctl status httpd

Enable Firewall:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=https

firewall-cmd --reload

Install Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate

Next we will install Let's Encrypt SSL cert so we can have the domain running on HTTPS.
