PHP-based Zikula is an open-source framework for online applications. With Zikula, you can create editable and interactive webpages. It is a cross-platform program that works with every widely used operating system. For database-related tasks, Zikula uses Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL on the back end.
We’ll talk about installing Zikula on a CentOS 7 server in this article.
First, update your system to the latest stable version by running the following command:
sudo yum update -y
sudo rebootYou will need to install Apache, MariaDB, PHP and other required PHP modules on your system. You can install all of these packages with the following command:
sudo yum install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-common php-mysql php-mcrypt php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-xmlrpc unzip wget -yOnce the installation is complete, start both Apache and MariaDB services and enable them to start at boot with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl enable mariadbMariaDB installation is not hardened, so you will need to secure it first. You can secure it with the following script:
sudo mysql_secure_installationAnswer all of the questions as follows.
Set root password? [Y/n] n
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] yNext, login to the MariaDB console.
mysql -u root -pThis will prompt you for a password, enter your MariaDB root password. After logging in, create a database for Zikula:
MariaDB [(none)]>CREATE DATABASE zikuladb;
MariaDB [(none)]>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on zikuladb.* to 'user'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
MariaDB [(none)]>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]>exityou will need to download the latest version of the Zikula CMS from GitHub. You can also download it using the wget command.
