Find out how to install Strapi on your POWER web hosting plan.
If you have just started to use your Web POWER web hosting plan, we suggest to have a look at our Getting started with a POWER web hosting plan guide before going further.
Let's suppose you have the default configuration for Node.js hosting:
To verify your configuration, you can use the Retrieve active configuration API endpoint.
Connect via SSH to your POWER web hosting.
Let's begin by cleaning the www
folder and installing Strapi:
rm -rf www
npx create-strapi-app www --quickstart --no-run
Now let's go into the www
folder and create the entrypoint index.js
:
const strapi = require('strapi');
strapi(/* {...} */).start();
Build admin UI site :
cd www
yarn build
Create also an .htaccess
file to manage HTTPS redirection:
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Then restart your instance and your Strapi headless CMS will be online.
Terminal output:
~ $ rm -rf www
~ $ npx create-strapi-app www --quickstart --no-run
npx: 91 installed in 6.741s
