 inflating: /var/www/html/zimplitcms-master/editor/ZZMenu.js  
 ….

Then change directory to html

[root@linuxhelp ~]# cd /var/www/html/

And rename the unzipped directory

[root@linuxhelp html]# mv zimplitcms-master/ zimplit

Then we have to change ownership and permission for the directory

 [root@linuxhelp html]# chown -R apache. ./
 [root@linuxhelp html]# chmod -R 755 ./

Now, configure the virtualhost for the zimplit cms

[root@linuxhelp html]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/zimplit.conf
<virtualhost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@zimplit.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/zimplit/
ServerName zimplit.org
ServerAlias www.zimplit.org
<Directory /var/www/html/zimplit/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/zimplit.org-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/zimplit.org-access_log common
</virtualhost>

After virtualhost creation edit the host file

[root@linuxhelp html]# vim /etc/hosts

Once configuration part is done restart the apache service to update the changes

[root@linuxhelp html]# systemctl restart httpd

Go to Browser, In address bar type zimplit.org/zimplit.php to visit the installation

Configure the user account then click on start option

Accept the terms and use, then provide the website site which you want to download the design
