Joomla is a content management system for a site or, in other words, a CMS (English Content Management System), which uses the PHP scripting language and a MySQL or PostgreSQL database. Joomla is easy to install, offers many features and settings that make it very flexible and easy to use for a novice user.
When ordering a VPS / VDS server , novice users have questions about how to create their own website. Consider installing a CMS on a Linux server.
System requirements
You also need to change some PHP settings that are in the php.ini file. Recommended php.ini parameter values:
- memory_limit : minimum: 64M . Recommended: 128M or more;
- upload_max_filesize : minimum: 20M ;
- post_max_size : min: 20M ;
- max_execution_time : minimum 120 . Recommended: 300 .
Settings and installation
All actions described in this article are performed as the root superuser . Download the installation package of our CMS:
root@webserver:~# wget https://downloads.joomla.org/ru/cms/joomla3/3-9-13/Joomla_3-9-13-Stable-Full_Package.zip
At the time of writing, the latest stable version is 3.9.13. You can download the latest stable installation package on the official Joomla website . From the official site it is possible to download the installation package packaged as .tar.bz2, .tar.gz and zip-archive. You need to create a new directory for the site on Joomla in the root directory of the web server and unpack the archive there:
Let’s create a directory:
root@webserver:~# mkdir /var/www/html/mysite.com
Unpack the archive:
root@webserver:~# unzip Joomla_3-9-13-Stable-Full_Package.zip -d /var/www/html/mysite.com
For other formats:
root@webserver:~# tar -xvf file.tar.bz2 -C /var/www/html/mysite.com
root@webserver:~# tar -xvf file.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/mysite.com
Then we change the owner of the directory and assign the necessary rights to files and folders.
If LAMP is used :
root@webserver:~# chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/mysite.com
If LEMP is used :
root@webserver:~# chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/html/mysite.com
Directory permissions:
root@webserver:~# find /var/www/html/mysite.com -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
File permissions:
root@webserver:~# find /var/www/html/mysite.com -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;
Let’s configure the virtual host in the web server configuration file.
For Apache2 :
Ubuntu/Debian:
root@webserver:~# nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-mysite.com.conf
CentOS:
root@webserver:~# nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/joomla.conf
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mysite.com
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
DirectorySlash off
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
AllowOverride all
Restart Apache2:
Ubuntu/Debian:
root@webserver:~# service apache2 restart
CentOS:
root@webserver:~# service httpd restart
For Nginx :
root@webserver:~# nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/test.com
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/html/mysite.com;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
I restart Nginx:
root@webserver:~# service nginx restart
Rename the htaccess.txt file:
root@webserver:~# mv /var/www/html/mysite.com/htaccess.txt /var/www/html/mysite.com/.htaccess
Now you can go to your site http://mysite.com where the Joomla CMS graphical installer will be launched. Complete the installation of Joomla according to the instructions.
