Contentify: Digital Ocean Installation

[maxbrood]

Hi,

Bit of a newbie to this so please excuse my ignorance. I've attempted to follow the installation guide and setup a LAMP stack on digital ocean by following the video in the installation wiki but after installation the install.php page cannot be found. Is there an additional setup that I've missed outside of this or is this now out of date?

Thanks.

Hi @maxbrood,

If it's possible, reset your droplet to Debian or Ubuntu and follow these steps:

1. Install Debian or Ubuntu

1. Install Apache2, PHP5 and packages needed for Contentify

   apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-json unzip vim

2. Install Mysql server

   apt-get install mysql-server
   Follow mysql installation and keep user/password credential you needed it to installing Contentify

3. Let's go to /var/www

   cd /var/www

4. Download Contentify 2.0, clean and configure chmod

   wget https://github.com/Contentify/Contentify/releases/download/v2.0/contentify2_0.zip
   unzip contentify2_0.zip
   mv contentify2_0 contentify
   rm contentify2_0.zip
   chmod 777 -R /var/www/contentify/storage
   chmod 777 -R /var/www/contentify/boostrap/cache
   chmod 777 -R /var/www/contentify/public/uploads
   chmod 777 -R /var/www/contentify/public/share
   chmod 777 -R /var/www/contentify/public/rss

5. Configure Apache2

   cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
   vim contentify.conf

Copy/paste:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName www.site.com

        ServerAdmin [email protected]
        DocumentRoot /var/www/contentify/public

        <Directory /var/www/contentify/public>
                Allowoverride All
        </Directory>

        # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
        # error, crit, alert, emerg.
        # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
        # modules, e.g.
        #LogLevel info ssl:warn

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

1. Disable default apache website

   a2dissite 000-default.conf

2. Activate module rewrite and contentify website

   a2enmod rewrite
   a2ensite contentify.conf

If all is good and i have dont forgot something you can get install of contentify: http://site.com/install.php

Before run install make this:

1. Open mysql

   mysql -u root -p
   Prompt will tell you to enter your password of root user.

2. Create database and quit

   CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS contentify2;
   exit

Wow, thankyou for the detailed explanation! It's all installed and seems to be working perfectly. You sir are a legend!

No problem, you are welcome ;)

The video might be a little bit outdated. Sorry for the inconvenience.
