Multi-site CMS for personal websites

Motivation

I wanted to host several personal websites using different domains on the same server, without code or database duplication. Here's what I did.

CMS features (GUI)

• Change layout of your website by changing the site template/design
• Upload individual images (.jpg) or documents (.pdf), to be displayed or hyperlinked on a page
• Upload a set of images (.jpg), to be published as album on a page
• Add and edit individual pages using a rich text editor
• Secure individual pages with an URL password

Programming language and DBMS

• PHP 7.4
• MySQL Community 5.7

Third-party software and artwork

• Fat-Free Framework 3.8
• TinyMCE 3.5.12
• Green Bitcons Icons

Demo

• Demo frontend
• Demo backend

Local installation

Assuming that you have a webserver, PHP and MySQL installed (see above), and downloaded or cloned this repository:

1. Follow instructions in app/thirdparty/composer/EXTERNAL.md
2. Follow instructions in www/bcknd/static/js/EXTERNAL.md
3. Connect to your MySQL Server and run all scripts in dbdump/ starting with 01.sql
4. Let a domain or subdomain point to www/multisite (shared frontend files for all websites)
5. Let a domain or subdomain point to www/bcknd (shared backend for all websites)
6. Let a domain or subdomain point to www/demo (demo website)
7. Copy app/setup.ini.skel to app/setup.ini
8. Set configuration values in app/setup.ini
9. On your MySQL server, run UPDATE multisite.tblSite SET URL = '(demo domain)' WHERE ID = 1, where demo domain is the domain configured in step 6
10. Open the domain configured in step 6 in your browser to access the demo website
11. Open the domain configured in step 5 in your browser to edit your website using user name demo and password showme
