Requirements, installation, configuration and database initialization

Requirements

• PHP 5.2 or later
• Apache/Nginx + PHP-FPM/other web server with PHP support
• MySQL/PostgreSQL/sqlite database engine

Installation

Download zip-file and extract it contents, OR clone the repository to the server directory which is indended to be a website storage directory.

git clone https://github.com/ViraTech/ViraCMS.git .

Note that the directories public/assets, public/cache, public/files, and runtime/ must be allowed to write for the web server process.

Make sure your server configured properly and points to public/ directory as website root, and have index.php as root index.

Configuration

To configure ViraCMS you need to edit protected/config/local.php file. Configuration is provided as PHP array.

As the usual, you have to update database server address, database name, username, and password for correct database access.

An example for database configuration file for the database server which runs on localhost, database name is viracms, username is username, and password is password:

<?php
return array(
  'components' => array(
    'db' => array(
      'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=viracms',
      'username' => 'username',
      'password' => 'password',
    ),
  ),
);

Database initialization

To initialize the database with default data you need to execute console command from protected directory on the web server:

php console.php migrate

In case of everything is configured correctly the command will proceed with migrations immidiately.

After the database initialization you may need to add administrator account. This can be done with the command like this (replace the demo data with your own):

php console.php user add --username=admin --email=admin@yourdomain.com --password=123456 --language=en

After all, you can now login to the administrator's interface simply going to /admin URL of your new website (e. g. if your domain is example.org then you have to go to example.org/admin).
