Step by step guide install Silver Stripe On WampServer

I love to try new CMS and today I must prepare presentation for my student about new CMS called Silver Stripe. As usual I always start from installation method and use WampServer as media.

A bit information about SilverStripe from Wikipedia :

SilverStripe is a free and open source content management system (CMS) for creating and maintaining websites. The CMS provides a web-based administration panel that enables users to make modifications to parts of the website. This panel includes a WYSIWYG website editor.

Download SilverStripe

Get latest version from SilverStripe dot org.

Save the file and extract to : C:\wamp\www\silver

I have two folder inside silver :

1. sapphire
2. silverstripe-v2.3.4

Let it as is.

Setting VirtualHost

I want to use subdomain : silver.batikweb.com so I add these lines

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin alam@batikweb.com
DocumentRoot “C:/wamp/www/silver/silverstripe-v2.3.4″
ServerName silver.batikweb.com
<Directory “C:/wamp/www/silver/silverstripe-v2.3.4/”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

into file :

C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf

save the file.

Register new subdomain

Open HostXpert and add subdomain silver.batikweb.com with ip address 127.0.0.1

Click Add Line and you’re on business.

Create new database

Open phpmyadmin and create new database with name “silver”

Start the Wizard

Open web browser and type : http://silver.batikweb.com/rewritetest.php

I got this message :

mod_rewrite doesn’t appear to be working. Make sure:

• mod_rewrite is enabled in your httpd.conf
• AllowOverride is enabled for the current path.

Please check these options, then refresh this page.If you believe that your configuration is correct, click here to proceed anyway.

More investigation give me this error message :

[Sun Nov 29 21:20:51 2009] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/wamp/www/silver/silverstripe-v2.3.4/.htaccess: RewriteBase takes one argument, the base URL of the per-directory context
[Sun Nov 29 21:20:52 2009] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/wamp/www/silver/silverstripe-v2.3.4/.htaccess: RewriteBase takes one argument, the base URL of the per-directory context

Open .htaccess file inside silverstripe-v2.3.4 and give # sign into this :

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase \

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif$)|(\.jpg$)|(\.png$)|(\.css$)|(\.js$)

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

save the file and access this address :

http://silver.batikweb.com/install.php

Check requirement section :

Requirements

PHP Configuration

File permissions

Recheck Database Information

Enter all information until this message show up when you click re-check requirements.

These database details look all good!

Enter SilverStripe Administration Account information and click button “Install SilverStripe“.

Wait a few moment and you should see this page.

Make sure to delete install files as suggested by the system.

SilverStripe ready to serve!

See you on next post and stay health!
