Pagekit is an open source CMS written in PHP. Pagekit source code is hosted on GitHub. This guide will show you how to install Pagekit CMS on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Vultr instance.
Make sure your server meets the following requirements.
Check the Ubuntu version.
lsb_release -ds
# Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Create a new non-root
user account with sudo
access and switch to it.
adduser johndoe --gecos "John Doe"
usermod -aG sudo johndoe
su - johndoe
NOTE: Replace johndoe
with your username.
Set up the timezone.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Ensure that your system is up to date.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Download and install PHP 7.0 and required PHP extensions. We will also install optional PHP extensions.
sudo apt install -y php7.0 php7.0-cli php7.0-fpm php7.0-mbstring php7.0-zip php7.0-mysql php7.0-sqlite3 php7.0-curl php7.0-simplexml php7.0-common
Check PHP version.
php --version

Because there are many existing Vultr Docs detailing the installation of MySQL and NGINX, this article will only cover the configuration of NGINX.
Run sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/pagekit.conf
and copy/paste the following.
server {
listen [::]:80;
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
index index.php index.html;
root /var/www/pagekit;
# PHP setup with query string support
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param HTTP_MOD_REWRITE On;
}
}
Activate the new pagekit.conf
configuration by linking the file to the sites-enabled
directory.
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pagekit.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Test the NGINX configuration.
sudo nginx -t
Reload NGINX and restart PHP7.0-FPM.
sudo systemctl reload nginx.service
sudo systemctl restart php7.0-fpm.service
Create a document root directory.
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/pagekit
Change ownership of the /var/www/pagekit
directory to johndoe
.
sudo chown -R johndoe:johndoe /var/www/pagekit
Navigate to document root.
cd /var/www/pagekit
Download the latest stable release of Pagekit CMS from the command line.
wget https://github.com/pagekit/pagekit/releases/download/1.0.13/pagekit-1.0.13.zip
Install unzip
package.
sudo apt install unzip
Unzip Pagekit CMS and remove downloaded zip file.
unzip pagekit-1.0.13.zip
rm pagekit-1.0.13.zip
Change ownership of the /var/www/pagekit
directory to www-data
.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/pagekit
Open your domain/IP in the web browser and follow the Pagekit CMS installation wizard. After that you will have Pagekit installed on your Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server.
