www.impresscms.orgrepositorydocsplugins
ImpressCMS is a content management system written in PHP for multilingual websites, and it stores its data in MySQL or MariaDB. The community behind it started the project as a fork of XOOPS. Website content comes from separate modules, so a site adds a forum or an online store by installing the modules it needs. Permissions are set per group.
The installation guide describes uploading the htdocs folder to a web server and then running the web installer.
Worth knowing
The release notes of the latest stable release still title it a beta, and the homepage points readers to a newer beta for testing.
