Qubus CMS

Qubus CMS is a developer centric, lightweight content management system (CMS) and content management framework (CMF). It is easy to install, easy to manage, and easy to extend. The majority of Qubus' codebase is derived from WordPress, however, Qubus CMS is not a fork of WordPress. It also should not be seen as a replacement for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla or any of the top used CMS's out there.

The main purpose of Qubus CMS is to give developer's an option that is geared toward how they think, how they code, and how they build websites. Although you can use Qubus CMS for your traditional CMS needs, you can also use it to build API centric applications.

Qubus CMS is pretty stable at the moment, but it is currently in beta and should no be used in production until release 1.0.

Cookies Secret Key

  • Open your config.php file, and edit the cookies.secret.key to something unique and secure.

Security

Qubus CMS stores important files on the server. Whether you are on Apache/Nginx, you must make sure to secure the following directories so that files in those directories are not downloadable:

  • private/cookies/*
  • private/db/*
  • private/sites/{site_id}/files/cache/*

Here is an example of what should go inside of the .htaccess file to secure the above directories. Make sure to change the key to something unique and secure.

# BEGIN Privatization
# This .htaccess file ensures that other people cannot download your files.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !key=replace_me
RewriteRule (.*) - [F]
</IfModule>

# END Privatization
