Today I make yet another Typo3 installation. But this time I think: Why not making a short tutorial how to do this? So, here it goes:
- login to your server (probably through ssh:
ssh xxx@xxx.xxx) - go to the directory of the web space:
cd /var/www/vhosts/xxx.xxx/httpdocs/ - get the typo3 source:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/typo3/typo3_src+dummy-4.1.7.zip?download. Note: You should use a version lower than 4.2 because the support of PHP4 has been dropped since this version. - unzip the archive:
unzip typo3_src+dummy-4.1.7.zip - remove the archive:
rm typo3_src+dummy-4.1.7.zip - make a link for an easier path to the files:
ln -s typo3_src+dummy-4.1.7 data - change the owner and group concerning plesk:
chown -R xxx:psacln data - give more rights to the group:
chmod g+w -R data/typo3temp && chown xxx:psaserv data/typo3temp - the typo3conf directory needs server permissions:
chown xxx:psaserv data/typo3conf - Open your webbrowser and go to the url of the installation:
iceweasel http://www.xxx.xxx/data. If you are asked for an password, give “joh316″. - follow the steps of the 1-2-3 install tool
- change the password of the 1-2-3 install tool
- before testing the image processing you have to modify ownership and groups of the created dirs in temp and upload directory. So go back to your ssh console once and do:
chown -R xxx:psaserv data/typo3temp data/typo3conf data/tyop3/ext data/uploads data/fileadmin; chmod -R g+w data/typo3temp data/typo3conf data/tyop3/ext data/uploads data/fileadmin - check that in point 1: Basic configuration no errors occur
- go to 5: All configuration and ensure that the im_path has been set correctly. If you use the default yast Image Magick installation it should be /usr/bin/. An idea for the correct setting you can find in the 1: Basic Configuration. Under 4: Image Processing you can test your Image Magick settings.
- Now you can go to the backend (www.xxx.xxx/data/typo3). The default login is:
username: admin
password: password
