In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install OXID eShop on EndeavourOS latest. OXID eShop is an open-source e-commerce system that provides a flexible and customizable platform for online stores.
Before we start with the installation process, make sure you have the following:
Make sure to update the system with the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
OXID eShop requires a web server to run. We will use Apache as our web server. To install Apache, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache
Next, start and enable Apache to start on boot with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
OXID eShop requires a database to store its data. We will use MariaDB as our database server. To install MariaDB, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S mariadb
Next, start and enable MariaDB to start on boot with the following commands:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
You will also need to secure MariaDB with the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
You will be prompted to set a root password, remove anonymous users, disallow root login remotely, and remove the test database. Answer all the questions with 'Y' for yes.
OXID eShop is written in PHP, so we will need to install PHP and some required modules. To install PHP and the required modules, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-fpm php-mysql php-gd php-intl php-ldap
You can download the latest version of OXID eShop from their official website or use the following command to download it:
wget https://downloads.oxid-esales.com/eshop/oxid-eshop-ce-v.6.3.4.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded file with the following command:
tar xzf oxid-eshop-ce-v.6.3.4.tar.gz
Move the extracted files to your Apache web directory with the following command:
sudo mv oxid-eshop /srv/http/
Now, we need to configure Apache to serve our OXID eShop files. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/oxid.conf
Add the following content to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName your-domain.com
DocumentRoot /srv/http/oxid-eshop/source
<Directory /srv/http/oxid-eshop/source>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Options FollowSymlinks
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Replace your-domain.com with your own domain name or server IP address.
Save and close the file.
Next, enable the virtual host configuration file with the following command:
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/oxid.conf /etc/httpd/conf/oxid.conf
Finally, restart Apache for the changes to take effect:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and navigate to your server's domain name or IP address. You should see the OXID eShop installer screen.
Follow the instructions to install OXID eShop. Make sure to enter the correct database information when prompted.
Once the installation is complete, you should see the OXID eShop storefront on your browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed OXID eShop on EndeavourOS 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!
