You will learn how to install Pimcore CMS on Ubuntu 18.04 in this article (Bionic Beaver).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEMP Server should be installed.
Pimcore CMS is a web-based content management system written in PHP which uses MariaDB as its database. As a result, you’ll need to set up Nginx, PHP, and MariaDB on your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To begin, run the following command to install Nginx and MariaDB:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt-get install nginx mariadb-server -y<\/strong>\n\nOnce the installation is complete, use the following command to start the Nginx and MariaDB services and enable them to start at boot time:\n\nsudo systemctl start nginx\nsudo systemctl enable nginx\nsudo systemctl start mysql\nsudo systemctl enable mysql\n<\/strong>\nAfter that, you must install the most recent versions of PHP and PHP-FPM on your system. \nIn Ubuntu 18.04, the most recent version of PHP is not installed by default. \nAs a result, you'll need to add a repository. Using the following command, you may add the PHP repository:\n\nsudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/strong>\n\nOnce the repository is installed, update the repository and install PHP, PHP-FPM and other required libraries using the following command:\n\nsudo apt-get install php7.1-0 php7.1-fpm php7.1-common php7.1-<\/strong>mbstring php7.1-cli php7.1-zip php7.1-xmlrpc php7.1-soap php7.1-gd php7.1-xml php7.1-intl php7.1-mysql -y<\/strong>\n\n\nOnce you've installed all of the packages, you'll need to make some adjustments to the php.ini file. You can use the following command to accomplish this:\n\nsudo nano \/etc\/php\/7.1\/fpm\/php.ini<\/strong>\n\nMake the following modifications:\n\nfile_uploads = On\nallow_url_fopen = On\nmemory_limit = 256M\nupload_max_filesize = 200M<\/strong>\nmax_execution_time = 300\ncgi.fix_pathinfo = 0\ndate.timezone = Asia\/Kolkata<\/strong>\n\nWhen you're finished, save and close the file.\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nConfigure MariaDB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The next step is to secure MariaDB. Run the following command to accomplish this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/strong>\n\nAnswer the following questions in the following order:\n\n\nEnter current password for root (enter for none):\nSet root password? [Y\/n]: N\nRemove anonymous users? [Y\/n]: Y<\/strong>\nDisallow root login remotely? [Y\/n]: Y\nRemove test database and access to it? [Y\/n]: Y\nReload privilege tables now? [Y\/n]: Y<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\nLog in to MariaDB shell using the following command once MariaDB has been secured:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mysql -u root -p<\/strong>\n\nCreate a database and user for Pimcore after providing your root password:\n\n<!-- wp:preformatted -->\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>mysql -u root -p<\/strong>\n\n<\/pre>\n<!-- \/wp:preformatted --><\/strong>\n\nMariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE pimcoredb;\nMariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'pimcoreuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';<\/strong>\n\nThen, with the following command, grant all privileges to the Pimcore database:\n\nMariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON pimcoredb.* TO 'pimcoreuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;<\/strong>\n\nThen, using the following command, flush the privileges:\n\nMariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/strong>\n\nFinally, use the following command to quit the MariaDB shell:\n\nMariaDB [(none)]> EXIT<\/strong>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nInstall Pimcore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
After that, you must download the most recent version of Pimcore on your computer. You can get it from their official website by using the command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget https:\/\/www.pimcore.org\/download\/pimcore-latest.zip<\/strong>\n\nWhen the download is finished, use the following command to unzip the downloaded file in the Nginx web root directory:\n\nsudo mkdir \/var\/www\/html\/pimcore\nsudo unzip pimcore-latest.zip -d \/var\/www\/html\/pimcore<\/strong>\n\nNext, use the following command to assign correct rights to the pimcore directory:\n\nsudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/pimcore\/\nsudo chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/html\/pimcore\/<\/strong>\n\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\nConfigure Nginx for Pimcore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The next step is to build a Pimcore CMS virtual host file in Nginx. Use the following command to achieve this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/pimcore<\/strong>\n\nserver {<\/strong>\n listen 80;\n listen [::]:80;\n root \/var\/www\/html\/pimcore;\n index index.php index.html index.htm;\n server_name example.com www.example.com;\n<\/strong> \n client_max_body_size 100M;\n\n location \/ {\n try_files $uri \/app.php$is_args$args; <\/strong> \n }\n\n location ~ ^\/app\\.php(\/|$) {\n include snippets\/fastcgi-php.conf;\n fastcgi_pass unix:\/var\/run\/php\/php7.1-fpm.sock;\n fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;\n send_timeout 1800;\n fastcgi_read_timeout 1800;\n include fastcgi_params;<\/strong>\n }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\nWhen you’re finished, save and close the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, use the following command to enable the Nginx virtual host file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo ln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/pimcore \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/<\/strong>
Finally, use the following command to restart Nginx and PHP7.1-FPM:
sudo systemctl restart nginx<\/strong>
sudo \/etc\/init.d\/php7.1-fpm restart<\/strong>
<\/pre>\n\n\n\nAccess Pimcore CMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So now Pimcore has been installed and configured, you may visit the Pimcore web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
