Introduction
ProcessWire is a free and open-source Content Management System (CMS) used for building websites. It has a simple, intuitive user interface, powerful tools, scalable API, support for multi-language, and security, among other features. This article explains how to install ProcessWire on FreeBSD 13.0 server.
Prerequisites
Perform the following steps first:
- Deploy a Vultr FreeBSD 13.0 Server.
- SSH into the server you deployed.
- Create a non-root user with sudo access.
Step 1. Install Packages
Update the system package list.
$ pkg update
Install required packages.
$ pkg install -y sudo nano unzip wget bash
Install PHP 7.4, Apache, MySQL, and more modules.
$ sudo pkg install -y apache24 mysql80-server mod_php74 php74 php74-session php74-curl php74-xml php74-zip php74-mbstring php74-ctype php74-imap php74-simplexml php74-tokenizer php74-xmlreader php74-xmlwriter php74-pear php74-fileinfo php74-json php74-phar php74-exif php74-iconv php74-mysqli php74-pdo_mysql php74-dom php74-filter php74-intl php74-openssl php74-intl php74-opcache php74-gd
Enable PHP-FPM service.
$ sudo sysrc php_fpm_enable=yes
Start PHP-FPM service.
$ sudo service php-fpm start
Copy the sample PHP configuration file.
$ sudo cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php.ini
Step 2. Install ProcessWire
Download the latest version of the installation files from the official GitHub repository.
$ sudo wget https://github.com/processwire/processwire/archive/master.zip
Extract the ProcessWire installation package.
$ sudo unzip master.zip
Rename the extracted directory.
$ sudo mv processwire-master processwire
Move the renamed directory to the web root directory.
$ sudo mv processwire /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
Clean up the downloaded package.
$ sudo rm master.zip
Set the ownership of the directory to the web-root user and group.
$ sudo chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/apache24/data/processwire
Change the access permissions.
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/www/apache24/data/processwire
Step 3. Create ProcessWire Database
Enable MySQL service to start on system boot.
$ sudo sysrc mysql_enable="yes"
Start MySQL service.
$ sudo service mysql-server start
Log in to MySQL shell. At the password prompt, just press ENTER to continue.
$ sudo mysql -u root -p
Secure the MySQL root
user by changing the password. Change the value of StrongPassword
with your own secure password.
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongPassword';
Create a database named processwire
.
CREATE DATABASE processwire;
Create a database user processwireuser
with a password MySecurePassword
. Change the value of MySecurePassword
to your own secure password.
CREATE USER 'processwireuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'MySecurePassword';
Grant the database user full access to the database.
GRANT ALL ON processwire.* TO 'processwireuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Save all the changes to take effect.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MySQL shell.
exit;
Step 4. Configure Apache2
Enable Apache service to start on system boot.
$ sudo sysrc apache24_enable=yes
Start Apache service.
$ sudo service apache24 start
Create a configuration file to allow Apache to work with PHP.
$ sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/modules.d/001_mod-php.conf
Add the following lines of code to the file. Save and close the file.
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
Create Apache configuration file processwire.conf
.
$ sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/processwire.conf
Add the below code to the file. Save and close the file.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/apache24/data/processwire
ServerName example.com
<Directory /usr/local/www/apache24/data/processwire/>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Test the configuration.
$ sudo apachectl configtest
Enable mod_rewrite
by editing the apache configuration file.
$ sudo nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
Uncomment the following line. Save and close the file:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache24/mod_rewrite.so
Restart Apache service.
$ sudo service apache24 restart
Step 5. Access ProcessWire
To access the ProcessWire Web Interface, go to your browser and visit http://Server_IP/
. For example:
http://192.0.2.10/
