In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install OXID eShop on your Fedora Server.
Before jumping into the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
The first step is to install Apache and PHP on your Fedora Server. To install them, use the following commands:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install httpd php php-cli php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-curl php-intl php-xml php-bcmath php-gd php-zip php-soap
Once the packages are installed, start the Apache service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
To enable Apache to start automatically at system boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
Next, we need to install MySQL or MariaDB server to store our OXID eShop data. To install MariaDB, use the following command:
sudo dnf install mariadb mariadb-server
Once the packages are installed, start the MariaDB service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
To secure your MariaDB installation, run the following command:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
After installing the database server, we need to create a new database and user for our OXID eShop installation. To do this, follow these steps:
Login to MariaDB console using the following command:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new user with a strong password:
CREATE USER 'oxid_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Note: Replace oxid_user and password with your desired values.
Create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE oxid_database;
Grant privileges to the user for the newly created database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON oxid_database.* TO 'oxid_user'@'localhost';
Exit MariaDB console:
exit
To download the latest version of OXID eShop, go to the OXID Forge website:
https://oxidforge.org/en/
Download the Community Edition ZIP archive.
To install OXID eShop, follow these steps:
Move the downloaded archive to the Apache web root directory:
sudo mv oxid-<version>.zip /var/www/html/
Note: Replace <version> with the version number of the OXID eShop archive you downloaded.
Extract the archive:
sudo unzip /var/www/html/oxid-<version>.zip -d /var/www/html/
Rename the extracted directory to a more simple name:
sudo mv /var/www/html/oxid-<version> /var/www/html/oxid
Set the correct permissions on the OXID eShop directory:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/oxid
Now that the installation is complete, we need to configure OXID eShop to use the database and settings we created earlier.
Edit the OXID eShop configuration file:
sudo nano /var/www/html/oxid/source/config.inc.php
Set the database settings in the configuration file:
$this->dbHost = 'localhost';
$this->dbName = 'oxid_database';
$this->dbUser = 'oxid_user';
$this->dbPwd = 'password';
Note: Replace oxid_database, oxid_user, and password with the values you created earlier.
Save and close the configuration file.
Finally, we can now access the OXID eShop web interface by opening the following URL in a web browser:
http://<your-server-ip-address>/oxid
You should now be prompted to finish the installation process, which includes setting up the administrator account, configuring time zone, and configuring shop settings.
That's it! You have successfully installed OXID eShop on your Fedora Server.
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!
