Installing Pluck CMS

In order to install the Pluck CMS in a proper manner, you need to download a stable version in the following manner.

linuxhelp:~ # wget https://github.com/pluck-cms/pluck/archive/master.zip

Once the file is downloaded, you need to extract the package in the Apache document root as follows.

linuxhelp:~ # unzip master.zip.1 -d /srv/www/htdocs/
Archive: master.zip.1

inflating: /srv/www/htdocs/pluck-master/robots.txt

And then, you need to move to your Apache document root, and list the files available in that location by making use of the following commands.

linuxhelp:~ # cd /srv/www/htdocs/
linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs # ls -l
total 456
drwxrwxr-x 2 wwwrun www 4096 Oct 9 23:15 gif
-rwxrwxr-x 1 wwwrun www 2356 Mar 18 2017 info2html.css
-rwxrwxr-x 1 wwwrun www 449132 Nov 7 11:43 master.zip
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 1 16:38 pluck-master

Later, you need to provide appropriate owner permission and file execution permission with the help of the following two command.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs # chown -R wwwrun:www /srv/www/htdocs/
linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs # chmod -R 775 /srv/www/htdocs/

Once all that is done, you need to configure your Apache VirtualHost for Pluck CMS. Create your .conf file as follows.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs # vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/pluck.conf

And make the following configuration in that file. Save it and exit from it once the changes are made.

< VirtualHost *:80> 
DocumentRoot " /srv/www/htdocs" 
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com
< Directory " /srv/www/htdocs/" > 
DirectoryIndex index.php
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
< /Directory> 
< /VirtualHost> 

Once you are through with the configuration part, you need to restart your Apache service.

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs # systemctl restart apache

After that, you need to make Firewall settings, and for that

linuxhelp:/srv/www/htdocs/pluck-master # vim /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT=" apache" 

Switch to your browser and type http://yourdomain. Click on the Pluck-master/ from the index.

Pluck installation wizard appears on your screen. Start the installation process.

The step 1 of the installation wizard appears on your screen. As suggested on the installer, check if the directories are writable. Proceed to the next step.

In the next page, you need to give the title, email, choose the language and give your password, and click on the save button.
