How to Install Shopware Community Edition on MXLinux Latest

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Shopware Community Edition on MXLinux. Shopware is a popular e-commerce platform that enables online merchants to create and manage online stores. Shopware can be easily installed on MXLinux using the following steps:

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, you will need to make sure that you have the following:

• A computer running MXLinux latest version.
• A web server with LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) installed and configured on your system.
• A SSH client like PuTTY.

Step 1: Download Shopware Community Edition

To download Shopware Community Edition, visit the official website at https://www.shopware.com/community/. Once there, click on the "Download Shopware" button. You will be directed to the download page.

On the download page, click on the "Download Shopware" button again. This will initiate the download process.

Step 2: Upload Shopware Archive to the Server

Upload the downloaded Shopware archive to your webserver using an FTP client, or use the Command-Line to upload it. Login to the terminal on your system and use the following command to upload the Shopware archive to the server:

$ scp /path/to/shopware-6.X.X.X.zip user@mxlinux_host:/var/www/html

Replace the "/path/to/shopware-6.X.X.X.zip" with the actual path of your downloaded archive, and "user@mxlinux_host" with your SSH login credentials.

Step 3: Unzip Shopware Archive

After the upload is complete, navigate to the "/var/www/html" directory on your server using the terminal or File Manager. Use the following command to unzip the Shopware archive into the "shopware" directory:

$ sudo unzip -q /var/www/html/shopware-6.X.X.X.zip -d /var/www/html/shopware

Replace the "/var/www/html/shopware-6.X.X.X.zip" with your Shopware archive file name and "/var/www/html/shopware" with your Shopware installation directory.

Step 4: Set Permissions on the Shopware Directory

Set the appropriate permissions on the "shopware" directory using the following command:

$ sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/shopware
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/shopware

The first command sets the read, write, and execute permissions for the owner and group, and read and execute permissions for other users. The second command changes the ownership of the "shopware" directory to the Apache user.

Step 5: Create a Virtual Host for Shopware

Now, create a virtual host for your Shopware website. Edit the HTTP Server configuration file and add the following lines:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/shopware/public
        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

        <Directory /var/www/html/shopware/public>
            AllowOverride None
            Require all granted
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

Save the changes and exit.

Step 6: Restart the Apache Server

After creating the virtual host, restart the Apache Server using the following command:

$ sudo systemctl reload apache2

Step 7: Run the Installation Wizard

Now open your web browser, and navigate to your Shopware website. The installation wizard will run automatically. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

That's it! You have successfully installed Shopware Community Edition on your MXLinux 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!
