Pagekit light blog CMS program installation and function experience process

Nowadays, no matter how we learn to set up personal blogs, websites, or set up medium and large content systems, there are basically few complete unique re-architecture programs. Most of our users either directly use the free open-source CMS program, and then use the free theme template with simple modifications. Users with a little bit of attention may also customize themes or perform secondary development based on actual needs.

Common CMS programs include WordPress, Joomla, DedeCMS, Typecho, ZBlog, and EMlog. Many personal websites may prefer WordPress blog programs. However, if we do not need complicated features and need to save more host resources, we still hope that some simple blog programs can be replaced.

Although Hexo and GHost are lightweight, it is troublesome for common users to set up and manage them. We still hope to install them directly in the host using the source code, or the one-click installation is much simpler. Today, Lao Jiang saw Pagekit, a lightweight CMS program from abroad. According to the introduction, there may not be many in China, but there are still many comments abroad.

Pagekit uses the Symfony framework and the Razr template engine architecture. MySQL and Sqlite can be used for databases. In this article, Mr. Jiang installed and shared the experience for the first time, it may be used in the future when the website is needed.

1. Official website and environment

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Official website: pagekit.com

The Pagekit installation environment requires PHP5.5.9 +, MySQL version 5.1 +, or Apache 2.2 +. Here is a small tip. It seems that the development version downloaded from GITHUB cannot be installed, and then it can be directly downloaded from the official website (here.

2. Set Pagekit installation directory permissions

After uploading the decompression program in the corresponding directory site, we can directly open the resolved domain name. We can see that the FIX needs to be set for various permission directories. We need to FIX the issue based on the corresponding directory, we also need to configure PHP. ini file.

To enable opcache. save_comments, configure it in PHP. INI.

Third, demonstration of Pagekit loose blog program

Lao Jiang originally thought that the installation process of the Pagekit loose blog program was simple. In fact, this process took too much time. Although the Pagekit program looks light and simple, the environment requirements for matching installation are still strict, for example, the new PHP version must be PHP5.5.9 or later, and some components and extensions must be enabled. If we install PHP on a common VM, it may be incompatible. If it is a VPS or server, you need to reconfigure it.

Of course, if you have configured a fully compatible environment, the installation of Pagekit is still simple, such as setting database information, and the normal installation is complete. We are required to create an administrator account during the process, and then log on to the background settings.

After logging on to the Pagekit background, we can perform other settings and add logs. Pagekit themes and plug-ins are similar to WP programs. A public platform directly obtains third-party themes and plug-ins submitted by users for free.

Fourth, Pagekit experience summary

1. Pagekit should be regarded as one of the many overseas open-source and light-blog programs. Currently, Pagekit is relatively niche and few users are used, especially Chinese documents, it is estimated that there are not many people using it. At most, it is easy to install and play.

2. The Pagekit program requires highly compatible components and configurations. Common virtual hosts may not be too compatible, and the WEB environment configuration of servers may be relatively high, generally, beginners may have a high threshold and there is no Chinese document to solve the problem.

3. Currently, Pagekit is only available on this product. Its actual performance and usage functions are not as good as those of Typecho or ZBLOG in China, after all, even a good program, subsequent secondary development and documentation support still need to be accumulated on a large number of users.
