Using a Different System?
Introduction
Bludit is a simple, fast, and flexible flat-file content management system (CMS). It's free, and you can use it to create a personal blog/website within minutes. Because it doesn't require a database management system to work, Bludit is portable, and you can migrate it between servers. It has an intuitive interface and supports the Markdown language via plug-ins. You'll install the Bludit CMS with a LAMP Stack on your Fedora 34 server in this guide.
Prerequisites
To proceed with this tutorial, ensure you have the following.
- A Fedora 34 server
- A domain name such as example.com is optional. You can use your server's public IP address to test this guide.
- A non-root sudo user
- A LAMP Stack
1. Install the Dependencies
Ensure your system is up to date.
$ sudo dnf -y upgrade
Install some helper packages.
$ sudo dnf install -y unzip nano wget
Install the required PHP extensions.
$ sudo dnf install -y php-cli php-fpm php-common php-mbstring php-gd php-xml php-json
Restart your Apache webserver to load the new changes.
$ sudo systemctl restart httpd
2. Download Bludit CMS
Apache serves your Bludit website from this location.
/var/www/
Create a new bludit
directory under it.
$ sudo mkdir -p /var/www/bludit
Navigate to the tmp
directory.

Download the latest stable version of Bludit. Use the latest download link in place of the v3.13.1 link shown below.
$ wget https://www.bludit.com/releases/bludit-3-13-1.zip
After downloading the package, unzip it to your current working directory.
$ sudo unzip bludit-3-13-1.zip
Copy the Bludit source files to the /var/www/bludit/
directory.
$ sudo rsync -rtv bludit-3-13-1/ /var/www/bludit/
Assign the ownership of the /var/www/bludit
to the apache
user.
$ sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/bludit
Ensure the files have the appropriate permissions.
$ sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/bludit
3. Disable SELinux
Edit the SELinux
configuration file.
$ sudo nano /etc/selinux/config
Locate the line SELINUX=enforcing
as shown below.
...
SELINUX=enforcing
...
Change the value of SELINUX
from enforcing
to disabled
to disable SELinux.
...
SELINUX=disabled
...
Save and exit the file.
Reboot your server.
$ sudo reboot
4. Create a Virtual Host File
Create a new virtual host configuration file under /etc/httpd/conf.d
.
$ sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/bludit.conf
Enter the information below into the file. Remember to replace example.com
and [email protected]
with your information.
<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot /var/www/bludit
<Directory /var/www/bludit>
