Installing Shopware Community Edition on Clear Linux Latest

Shopware Community Edition is a popular open-source e-commerce platform that allows businesses to create and manage their online stores. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Shopware Community Edition on Clear Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1 - Downloading Shopware Community Edition

Visit the official Shopware website to download the latest version of Shopware Community Edition. Once you've downloaded the file, extract it to your DocumentRoot directory.

$ cd /var/www/html/
$ unzip /path/to/downloaded/file.zip

Step 2 - Setting up the Database

Shopware Community Edition requires a MySQL or MariaDB database to store all of your store's data. To begin, log in to the MySQL or MariaDB command-line interface as the root user, and create a new database and user for Shopware using the following commands:

$ sudo mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE shopware_db;
mysql> CREATE USER 'shopware_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON shopware_db.* TO 'shopware_user'@'localhost';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Step 3 - Configuring Shopware

Once you have set up your database, navigate to the config.php file located in the config/ directory inside your Shopware installation folder, and edit the following lines to add your database credentials:

'database' => [
    'username' => 'shopware_user',
    'password' => 'your_password',
    'dbname' => 'shopware_db',
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'port' => '3306',
    'socket' => '',
    'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
],

Step 4 - Configuring the Web Server

To allow your web server to serve Shopware, create a new virtual host configuration file for Shopware by creating a new .conf file in your web server's configuration directory (usually /etc/httpd/conf.d/ for Apache or /etc/nginx/conf.d/ for Nginx) and adding the following configuration:

For Apache

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName shopware.example.com
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/shopware/"
    ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/shopware_error.log"
    CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/shopware_access.log" common

    <Directory "/var/www/html/shopware/">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

For Nginx

server {
    server_name shopware.example.com;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/shopware_access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/shopware_error.log;

    root /var/www/html/shopware;
    index index.html index.php;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        fastcgi_param PHP_VALUE "memory_limit=512M\n max_execution_time=3600\n upload_max_filesize=128M\n post_max_size=128M\n opcache.enable=1";
    }
}

Make sure to replace shopware.example.com with your desired domain name, and /var/www/html/shopware/ with the path to your extracted Shopware directory.

Step 5 - Finalizing the Installation

After configuring your web server, you can now access your Shopware store by navigating to your domain name in your web browser. You will be presented with the Shopware installation wizard.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process for Shopware Community Edition. Once completed, you should be able to log in to the Shopware administration dashboard and start creating your online store.

Congratulations! You now have Shopware Community Edition installed on Clear Linux Latest.

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!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
