How to Install CoreShop on OpenSUSE Latest

CoreShop is an e-commerce solution that is built on top of the Symfony 5 framework. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CoreShop on the latest version of OpenSUSE.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Installing Dependencies

The first step is to install the required dependencies for CoreShop to work properly. To do so, you can run the following commands:

sudo zypper update

sudo zypper install apache2 apache2-mod_php7 php7 php7-gd php7-mysql php7-zip php7-json php7-intl php7-dom php7-mbstring php7-xmlwriter php7-xmlreader php7-opcache

Step 2: Create a Virtual Host

After installing the necessary dependencies, you need to create a virtual host for CoreShop. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new Apache virtual host configuration file in the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ directory and name it coreshop.conf
sudo vim /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/coreshop.conf
  1. Add the following lines to the virtual host file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName coreshop.example.com
     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/coreshop/public
    <Directory /var/www/html/coreshop>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
     ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/coreshop-error_log 
     CustomLog /var/log/apache2/coreshop-access_log combined
</VirtualHost>

Replace coreshop.example.com with your domain name or IP address.

  1. Save and close the file.

  2. Restart Apache to apply the changes:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 3: Download and Install CoreShop

In this step, you will download and install CoreShop on your OpenSUSE system.

  1. Start by creating a new directory to hold the CoreShop files:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/coreshop
  1. Move to the new directory:
cd /var/www/html/coreshop
  1. Download the latest version of CoreShop using wget:
sudo wget https://github.com/coreshop/CoreShop/releases/download/2.2.7/coreshop-2.2.7.tar.gz
  1. Unzip the downloaded file:
sudo tar -xvzf coreshop-2.2.7.tar.gz 
  1. Rename the extracted directory as public:
sudo mv coreshop-2.2.7 public
  1. Set the correct file permissions:
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /var/www/html/coreshop/public
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/coreshop/public

Step 4: Configure the database

In this step, you need to create a new database and set up a new database user with the necessary privileges.

  1. Start by logging in to your MySQL server:
sudo mysql -u root -p 
  1. Create a new database for CoreShop:
CREATE DATABASE coreshopdb;
  1. Create a new MySQL user for CoreShop:
CREATE USER 'coreshopuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Replace 'password' with a strong password.

  1. Grant the necessary privileges to the new user:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON coreshopdb.* TO 'coreshopuser'@'localhost';
  1. Exit from MySQL:
QUIT;

Step 5: Configure CoreShop

  1. Copy the .env.dist file to a new .env file:
sudo cp /var/www/html/coreshop/public/.env.dist /var/www/html/coreshop/public/.env
  1. Update the .env file with the correct database details:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://coreshopuser:password@localhost/coreshopdb
  1. Save and close the file.

Step 6: Install Composer

Composer is a dependency management tool used by CoreShop. You can install it using the following commands:

sudo zypper install composer

composer install

Step 7: Accessing CoreShop

Once the installation is complete, you can access your CoreShop installation in your web browser by visiting http://coreshop.example.com/ (replace coreshop.example.com with your domain name or IP address).

Conclusion

You have successfully installed CoreShop on the latest version of OpenSUSE. You can now start configuring and customizing your e-commerce website. Enjoy!
