How to Deploy TYPO3
Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how to deploy TYPO3, an enterprise-class, open-source CMS (Content Management System), into the platform.
So, let’s get started!
Create Environment
1. Log in to the platform dashboard.
2. Click the Create environment button at the top left:
3. Pick Apache application server, PHP v5.4 and MySQL (or MariaDB) database. Specify your cloudlet limits and name of your environment (for example, typo3). Click Create.
Wait just a minute for your environment to be created.
Upload Application Package
1. Visit the official TYPO3 web-site to download the latest TYPO3 version as a zip package (the downloading will start automatically).
2. Using the Deployment manager upload the package you’ve just downloaded.
3. Once the package is in the platform, deploy it to the environment you have just created.
Environment Configuration
You need to disable zend_extension in order to get your TYPO3 application up and running. For that follow the next steps:
1. Click Config button for Apache server.
2. Navigate to etc > php.ini file and comment the following line:

4. Then specify the name of a new database (for example, typo3) and click Continue button.
5. In the next window choose the Introduction package. Click Continue.
6. The installation will be started. Wait a few minutes for its completion.
7. Finally, enter the password for access to TYPO3 Admin Panel and choose the color of TYPO3 main page.
8. Congratulations! The TYPO3 was installed. Click Go to your Website button.

That’s it! Now you have your own TYPO3 in the platform.
