How install ImpressPages CMS

Requirements

To install ImpressPages CMS on your server, you will need:

  • Apache server 
  • Apache "mod_rewrite" extension 
  • PHP 5.3 
  • PHP GD library (most shared hosting campanies have by default)
  • PHP mbstring library (most shared hosting campanies have by default)
  • MySQL 5 and higher 
  • 30+ Mb free disk space
  • ini_set function enabled (default on most severs)

Installation steps

  • Extract downloaded files to the folder on your server where you want the CMS to be installed. Be sure you don't miss .htaccess. Linux hides all files that starts with dot by default.
  • Create database and set collation to utf8_general_ci
  • Then type appropriate URL in your browser. You will see installation wizard. Follow the instructions until installation completes.

Known problems

  • If installation hangs on database creation step using 127.0.0.1 as database host, try to use localhost instead of ip address. This problem might happen because your MySQL server configuration. The opposit possible on EasyPHP.

One user on localhost installed only after adding following lines to .htaccess:

# Turn off mod_security filtering.
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

Hey, I am using wamp for testing designs, configurations and everything else. However the ImpressPages (2.1) doesnt work with the wamp. I think my wamp configurations meet the requirements, but still, when i try to launch the install (open the first page) i get the Internal Server Error and blank page with recommendation to contact the server master. I really want to start using IP2.1 for my clients, but I have to test it firstly.... :)

Check if you have PHP 5.3 (ImpressPages does not work on PHP 5.4 yet). https://github.com/impresspages/ImpressPages-CMS/issues/57
