Welcome to the tutorial on how to install OpenCart on OpenBSD. OpenCart is a popular e-commerce platform that is easy to install and configure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of OpenCart on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to download the OpenCart package from their official website. You can download the latest version of OpenCart from the following link: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=cms/download.
You can use the following command to download OpenCart on your OpenBSD system:
$ curl -LOk https://github.com/opencart/opencart/releases/download/3.0.3.6/opencart-3.0.3.6.zip
This command will download the OpenCart package on your OpenBSD system in the current directory.
Next, we need to install the unzip utility on our OpenBSD system. You can use the following command to install unzip:
$ doas pkg_add unzip
Now, we need to extract the downloaded OpenCart zip file. You can use the following command to extract the OpenCart zip file:
$ unzip opencart-3.0.3.6.zip
This command will extract the OpenCart package in the current directory.
After extracting the OpenCart package, we need to move it to our web server directory. If you are using Apache, you can move the OpenCart package to /var/www/htdocs/ directory. If you are using Nginx, you can move the OpenCart package to /usr/local/www/nginx/ directory.
You can use the following command to move the OpenCart package to Apache directory:
$ mv upload /var/www/htdocs/opencart
Next, we need to configure OpenCart. We need to rename the config-dist.php file to config.php and admin/config-dist.php to admin/config.php in OpenCart directory.
You can use the following commands to rename the files:
$ mv /var/www/htdocs/opencart/config-dist.php /var/www/htdocs/opencart/config.php
$ mv /var/www/htdocs/opencart/admin/config-dist.php /var/www/htdocs/opencart/admin/config.php
After renaming the configuration files, we need to set the proper permissions on OpenCart directories and files. You can use the following commands to set the proper permissions:
$ chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/opencart
$ chmod -R 755 /var/www/htdocs/opencart
Now, we can access the OpenCart installation wizard from our web browser. You can access the installation wizard by typing the following URL on your web browser:
http://your_ip_address/opencart
This will load the OpenCart installation wizard where you can set up your e-commerce store.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install OpenCart on OpenBSD. OpenCart is a powerful e-commerce platform that is easy to install and configure. If you follow the above steps, you should have a fully functional OpenCart installation running on your OpenBSD system.
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!
