GetSimple CMS is a great way to get started with using a Content Management System. CMS works differently from a static HTML site and although there are plenty of open source CMS packages available, GetSimple can get users started with minimum effort. This article lists the steps to set up GetSimple from start to finish on an openSUSE system.
Setting up LAMP on openSUSE 12.2
Note: The steps outlined reflect the instructions found in the excellent official 530-page openSUSE 12.3 Reference Guide provided by the openSUSE team.
OpenSUSE provides plenty of assistance to users getting started with setting up a web or file server, making the distribution a great alternative to Debian or Fedora for those planning to get their feet wet with LAMP.
1. Launch YaST and then click Software Management.
2. Click the Patterns tab.
3. Under Server Functions, select Web and Lamp Server. YaST will automatically add the necessary packages and dependencies including PHP5 and Apache 2.2 (as of this writing).
4. Click Accept.
After installation, change the runlevel using Konsole or start the services using the System Services (RunLevel) option in YaST.
1. In YaST, select System Services (RunLevel)
2. On the Service list, select apache2 and click Enable.
3. Click OK.
Note: To run the Apache service manually, launch Konsole and run rcapache2 start
Test if the web server is running by opening http://127.0.0.1
Installing Additional Modules for GetSimple (Optional)
To take full advantage of the features of GetSimple, install the following packages using YaST:
1. php5-curl
2. php5-GD
3. php5-zip
GetSimple CMS actually checks these packages during the setup process.
