This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install OXID eShop on Arch Linux.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following components installed on your system:
First, download the latest version of OXID eShop from the official website using the following command:
wget https://files.oxid-esales.com/eshop/oxid-eshop-ce-v6.3.2.tar.gz
Next, install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache php php-gd php-json php-mbstring php-openssl php-pdo php-pdo_mysql php-xml mariadb
After installing the required dependencies, create a new database and user for OXID eShop using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root
CREATE DATABASE oxid;
CREATE USER 'oxid_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON oxid.* TO 'oxid_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Replace password with a strong password.
Extract the downloaded OXID eShop archive to your web server's document root directory using the following command:
sudo tar -xzvf oxid-eshop-ce-v6.3.2.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Configure the permissions for OXID eShop using the following command:
cd /var/www/html/
sudo chown -R http:http oxid /* Replace http with the user and group that your web server is running under*/
sudo chmod -R 755 oxid/
Open your web browser and enter the following URL:
http://localhost/oxid/setup/
This will start the OXID eShop installation process. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
After completing the installation, remove the installation directory using the following command:
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/oxid/setup/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OXID eShop on Arch Linux. You can now access your online store by visiting your web server's IP address or domain name.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
