How to Install CoreShop on FreeBSD Latest

CoreShop is an eCommerce framework based on Sylius, Symfony and Doctrine. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing CoreShop on FreeBSD latest.

Prerequisites

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

Step 1: Install Required Packages

Before we install CoreShop, we need to install some required packages. To do this, run the following command:

pkg install php72 php72-zip php72-mbstring php72-tokenizer php72-curl php72-gd php72-opcache php72-xmlreader php72-xmlwriter php72-pecl-imagick

Step 2: Install Composer

Composer is a package manager for PHP. We can use Composer to install CoreShop and its dependencies. To install Composer, run the following commands:

cd /root
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Step 3: Create a Virtual Host

Create a virtual host for CoreShop. In this example, we will use Apache. First, create a new directory for your virtual host:

mkdir -p /usr/local/www/coreshop/

Next, create a new configuration file for your virtual host:

nano /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/coreshop.conf

Add the following content to your coreshop.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName coreshop.example.com
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/coreshop/public
    <Directory /usr/local/www/coreshop/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/coreshop_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/coreshop_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file. Then, enable the virtual host:

echo 'apache24_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
service apache24 start

Step 4: Install CoreShop

Clone the latest CoreShop repository to your document root:

cd /usr/local/www/coreshop/
git clone https://github.com/coreshop/CoreShop.git .

Then, install CoreShop and its dependencies using Composer:

composer install

Step 5: Configure CoreShop

There are several configuration files in CoreShop that you need to modify. All configuration files are located in the src/CoreShop directory.

Create a new .env file by copying the .env.dist file:

cd src/CoreShop/
cp .env.dist .env

Then, modify the .env file and set the database connection details:

DATABASE_URL=mysql://dbuser:dbpassword@localhost/databasename

Replace dbuser, dbpassword, and databasename with your own credentials.

Next, modify the config/packages/web_profiler.yaml file:

web_profiler:
    toolbar:
        enabled: false

Save the file and exit.

Step 6: Finish Installation

Finally, clear the cache and set the correct permissions:

bin/console cache:clear --env=prod
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/coreshop
chmod +x bin/console
chmod -R 777 var/

You can now access CoreShop by visiting http://coreshop.example.com in your web browser.

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!
