Installing Magento on a Ryzen-powered Linux VPS can significantly enhance your e-commerce platform’s performance. Magento is a popular open-source e-commerce platform, and with FireVPS, you can leverage powerful Ryzen processors to ensure your online store runs smoothly and efficiently. In this guide, we’ll provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to install Magento on a Linux VPS.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- A Ryzen-powered Linux VPS from FireVPS.
- SSH access to your VPS.
- A domain name pointed to your VPS.
- Basic knowledge of Linux command line.
- A LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) installed on your VPS.
Step 1: Access Your VPS
- Open your terminal (or use an SSH client like PuTTY).
- Connect to your VPS using SSH:
| sh |
|---|
| ssh root@your_vps_ip |
Step 2: Update Your System
Before installing anything, update your package manager:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y |
Step 3: Install Apache
If you don’t have Apache installed, you can install it using the following command:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y |
Start and enable Apache to run on boot:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo systemctl start apache2 sudo systemctl enable apache2 |
Step 4: Install MySQL
Magento requires a database to store data. Install MySQL using:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo apt install mysql-server -y |
Secure your MySQL installation:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo mysql_secure_installation |
Create a database for Magento:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo mysql -u root -p |
Inside the MySQL prompt, run the following commands:
| sql |
|---|
| CREATE DATABASE magento; CREATE USER ‘magentouser’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘yourpassword’; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magento.* TO ‘magentouser’@’localhost’; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT; |
Step 5: Install PHP
Magento requires PHP. Install PHP and necessary extensions:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-cli php-common php-gd php-curl php-intl php-xsl php-mbstring php-zip php-soap php-bcmath -y |
Step 6: Configure Apache for Magento
Create a new virtual host configuration file for Magento:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/magento.conf |
Add the following configuration:
| apache |
|---|
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/magento_error.log
|
Enable the new site and rewrite module:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo a2ensite magento.conf sudo a2enmod rewrite sudo systemctl restart apache2 |
Step 7: Install Composer
Magento uses Composer for managing dependencies. Install Composer using:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo apt install curl -y curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer |
Step 8: Download Magento
Navigate to the web root directory and download Magento:
| sh |
|---|
| cd /var/www/html sudo composer create-project –repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition magento |
You’ll be prompted for Magento authentication keys, which you can get from the Magento Marketplace.
Step 9: Set the Correct Permissions
Set the correct permissions for Magento:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/magento sudo find /var/www/html/magento -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; sudo find /var/www/html/magento -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; |
Step 10: Install Magento
Run the Magento setup script:
| sh |
|---|
| cd /var/www/html/magento sudo bin/magento setup:install \ –base-url=http://yourdomain.com \ –db-host=localhost \ –db-name=magento \ –db-user=magentouser \ –db-password=yourpassword \ –admin-firstname=First \ –admin-lastname=Last \ –admin-email=admin@yourdomain.com \ –admin-user=admin \ –admin-password=admin123 \ –language=en_US \ –currency=USD \ –timezone=America/Chicago \ –use-rewrites=1 |
Step 11: Finalize Installation
Once the installation is complete, configure Apache to serve the Magento directory:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf |
Change the DocumentRoot to point to /var/www/html/magento:
| apache |
|---|
| DocumentRoot /var/www/html/magento |
Restart Apache:
| sh |
|---|
| sudo systemctl restart apache2 |
Step 12: Access Your Magento Store
Open your web browser and go to http://yourdomain.com. You should see the Magento storefront. Access the admin panel by going to http://yourdomain.com/admin.
