Magento
Development is increasing by leaps and bounds. With
a view to develop an elegant ecommerce store, Magento is most popular.
In this article, we will know how to
install the most recent Magento versions using the code via SSH. This will also
include the process of Magento installation with or without specimen data.
Here, we will discuss Magento installation
with or without sample information in the main directory or sub directory. The
main directory refers to what appears right away while accessing the domain. By
default, magento is installed in the sub directory.
With SSH, Magento Setup can be quick and
simple. It works best when used to frame up an entire store with sample facts
and figures. This type of establishment requires 40MB of data to be downloaded
and then re upload to the website. SSH provides the benefit of connecting to
the server to capture the files.
Below mentioned are some of the ways to
download Magento with SSH:
Magento
Setup in the Web Directory (Document root):
1. wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.7.0.2/magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz
2. tar -zxvf magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz
3. mv magento/* magento/.htaccess .
4. chmod -R o+w media var
5. chmod o+w app/etc
Along with the setup, we have to delete the
downloaded file and empty the directory from the extracted files:
rm
-rf magento/ magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz
After applying this SSH Code, the web based
installation process is to be followed.
Using
Pear Downloader to install Magento in the Website Document Root:-
To ease the Magento
Development process and with a view to get the latest Magento version
installed conveniently, Pear Downloader is the best option. It has an
intelligible mechanism to download recent magento versions. Being a minor
download, it is updated less frequently as compared to the complete magento
package.
Magento
Setup in sub directory:
It’s very easy, just replace the current
“subdirectory “twice with the name of the subdirectory in which Magento is to
be installed.
1. mkdir SUBDIRECTORY
2. cd SUBDIRECTORY
3. wget
http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.7.0.0/magento-downloader-1.7.0.0.tar.gz
4. tar -zxvf
magento-downloader-1.7.0.0.tar.gz
5. rm -rf
magento-downloader-1.7.0.0.tar.gz
Magento Setup with Sample Data:
Installing Magento with Sample data is
beneficial to the business owners who wish to get accustomed with Magento and
know how products and categories are setup in the store.
Again, here it can be established either in
root directory or sub directory:
Magento Setup in Main Directory:
It is very similar to installing magento without data in subdirectory as
mentioned above. Here, directory name is
not required to be known. The things that are to be replaced are: DBHOST,
DBNAME, DBUSER and DBPASS.
1. wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.7.0.2/magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz
2. tar -zxvf magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz
3. wget
http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.6.1.0/magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0.tar.gz
4. tar -zxvf
magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0.tar.gz
5. mv magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0/media/* magento/media/
6. mv
magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0/magento_sample_data_for_1.6.1.0.sql magento/data.sql
7. mv magento/*
magento/.htaccess* .
8. chmod -R o+w media
var
9. mysql -h DBHOST -u
DBUSER -pDBPASS DBNAME < data.sql
10. chmod o+w var
var/.htaccess app/etc
11. rm -rf magento/
magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0/ magento-1.7.0.2.tar.gz magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0.tar.gz data.sql
Magento Setup in Sub directory:
· Name of Subdirectory in which Magento installation is to be done.
· Hostname of Database, for which local host works.
· Database name which is to be used by magento.
· Username which has access to the database.
· Password of the User.
After getting this information, it is to be
copied and replaced with the information in the commands.
In other words, we can say the subdirectory,
where Magento is to be setup will be replaced twice as above and also DBHOST,
DBNAME, DBUSER and DBPASS are changed.
1. mkdir SUBDIRECTORY
2. cd SUBDIRECTORY
3. wget
http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.7.0.0/magento-downloader-1.7.0.0.tar.gz
4. wget
http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.6.1.0/magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0.tar.gz
5. tar -zxvf
magento-downloader-1.7.0.0.tar.gz
6. tar -zxvf
magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0.tar.gz
7. mv
magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0/media/*
magento/media/
8. mv
magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0/magento_sample_data_for_1.6.1.0.sql magento/data.sql
9. mv magento/*
magento/.htaccess .
10. chmod -R o+w media
11. mysql -h DBHOST -u
DBUSER -pDBPASS DBNAME < data.sql
12. ./pear mage-setup .
13. ./pear install
magento-core/Mage_All_Latest-stable
14. touch var/.htaccess
| mkdir app/etc
15. chmod o+w var
var/.htaccess app/etc
16. rm -rf
downloader/pearlib/cache/* downloader/pearlib/download/*
17. rm -rf magento/
magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0/
18. rm -rf
magento-downloader-1.7.0.0.tar.gz magento-sample-data-1.6.1.0.tar.gz data.sql
Finishing the Installation via Web Based Installer:
Once the Magento installation via SSH is
completed, the business owners can proceed with web based installer. All
database details will remain same in that as well.
This work can also be carried out using
Command Line Interface (CLI) instead.
Alternatively, SSH script can also be used to
automate both the main steps as well as CLI installer.
Trouble Shooting:
Magento Development is not a child’s play. To sort out the issues faced while installing
magento, certain recommendations can be followed which are as follows:
·
Incorrect or
Insufficient Permissions:
If any problem persists due to incorrect permissions then it can be sort
out using the below mentioned commands:
1. find. -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;
2. find. -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
Using this command will provide 644
permissions to files and 755 permissions to the directories.
·
URL not available :
If any error message is received stating the unavailability of URL, then
it can be solved as following:
1. ./pear mage-setup .
2. ./pear install
magento-core/Mage_All_Latest-stable
After making these changes, Magento can be
upgraded to the latest version via web based installer.
·
404 Error on Specimen Products:
While selecting any product on main page, if it shows “error 404 page not
found”, then it can be solved as follows:
·
To solve this error, the
user has to login in the backend system of magento and go to:
System -> Cache Management
Another way is to click on the “Refresh
Button” in the catalogue section. This will fix the URL structure for the
categories as well as the products.
·
Magento Connection
Download from Archived section:
For some reasons, if you wish to download the archived extension, it can
be done as follows:
“TYPE” must be replaced with real
extension type, EXTENSION_NAME with real extension name and X.X.X. must be
replaced with real version number.
To know the real type and real machine Extension name, check the
extension key and consider its format Magento Type/ Extension Name.
