Magento is a free, open-source e-commerce platform used by thousands of retailers to power their online stores. The many features of Magento include shopping cart management, conversion tracking and easy catalog customization. There are a wide variety of plugins that can be installed to provide even more features.<\/p>\n

This guide will help you get a suitable environment for Magento up and running.<\/p>\n

Getting started<\/h2>\n

To complete this guide, you will need the following:
\n\u2022 1 Node (Cloud Server<\/a> or Dedicated Server<\/a>) running a clean installation of Ubuntu 14.
\n\u2022 All commands should be run as the root user
\n\u2022 A LAMP stack using Nginx, PHP and MariaDB<\/p>\n

Step-by-step guide<\/h2>\n

To start the setup process, make sure your server is fully up to date.<\/p>\n

apt-get update
\napt-get dist-upgrade -y<\/code><\/p>\n

There are a few required programs that Magento will need. First, install the base applications. At this time, you will also set the root user for MariaDB, which is a common drop-in replacement for MySQL.<\/p>\n

apt-get install nginx php5-fpm redis-server memcached php5-dev php5-mysql php5-mcrypt mariadb-server php-pecl<\/code><\/p>\n

Next, install the two required PHP extensions, php-memcached and php-redis. You should use Redis for managing Magento’s backend cache.<\/p>\n

yum -y install php-pecl-memcache php-pecl-memcached<\/code><\/p>\n

mkdir ~\/redis
\ncd ~\/redis
\nwget https:\/\/pecl.php.net\/get\/redis-2.2.8.tgz
\ntar zxpf redis*
\ncd redis*
\nphpize
\nmake
\nmake install<\/code><\/p>\n

Make sure to add the memcached and redis modules to the PHP extensions list in php.ini.<\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/php5\/mods-available\/memcached.ini<\/code><\/p>\n

; Redis Extension
\nextension=memcached.so<\/code><\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/php5\/mods-available\/redis.ini<\/code><\/p>\n

; Redis Extension
\nextension=redis.so<\/code><\/p>\n

Naturally, you will need to enable both of these modules.<\/p>\n

php5enmod memcached<\/code><\/p>\n

php5enmod redis<\/code><\/p>\n

Now it’s time to configure PHP sessions to be stored into memcached. First, configure this setting for the PHP command line interface.<\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/php5\/cli\/php.ini<\/code><\/p>\n

COMMENT BOTH FOLLOWING LINES
\n;session.save_handler = files
\n;session.save_path = \"\/var\/lib\/php5\"<\/code><\/p>\n

ADD BOTH FOLLOWING LINES
\nsession.save_handler = memcached
\nsession.save_path=127.0.0.1:11211<\/code><\/p>\n

Then you can set it for the PHP-FPM.<\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/php.ini<\/code><\/p>\n

COMMENT BOTH FOLLOWING LINES
\n;session.save_handler = files
\n;session.save_path = \"\/var\/lib\/php5\"<\/code><\/p>\n

ADD BOTH FOLLOWING LINES
\nsession.save_handler = memcached
\nsession.save_path=127.0.0.1:11211<\/code><\/p>\n

We need to get Nginx to work with PHP now. Create your web directory first.<\/p>\n

mkdir \/var\/www
\nmkdir \/var\/www\/magento
\nchown www-data:www-data -R \/var\/www\/magento\/
\ncd \/var\/www\/html\/magento
\nchmod -R o+w app\/etc\/
\nchmod -R o+w var\/
\nchmod -R o+w media\/<\/code><\/p>\n

Now add a few tweaks to Nginx’s configuration. Set Nginx to use PHP-FPM for requests.<\/p>\n

rm -rf \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/default
\ntouch \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/magento
\nnano \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/magento<\/code><\/p>\n

server {
\nlisten 80;
\nroot \/var\/www\/magento;
\nindex index.php index.html index.htm;
\nserver_name magento.domain.com;
\nlocation \/ {
\ntry_files $uri $uri\/ =404;
\n}
\nerror_page 404 \/usr\/share\/nginx\/www\/404.html;
\nerror_page 500 502 503 504 \/50x.html;
\nlocation = \/50x.html {
\nroot \/usr\/share\/nginx\/www;
\n}
\nlocation ~ \\.(php)$ {
\ntry_files $uri =404;
\nfastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\\.php)(\/.+)$;
\nfastcgi_keep_conn on;
\ninclude fastcgi_params;
\nfastcgi_index index.php;
\nfastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
\nfastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
\nfastcgi_pass unix:\/var\/run\/php5-fpm.sock;
\n}
\n}<\/code><\/p>\n

Then you can configure Nginx worker processes.<\/p>\n

\/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf<\/code><\/p>\n

worker_processes 4;
\nevents {
\nworker_connections 1024;
\n# multi_accept on;
\n}<\/code><\/p>\n

Configure the PHP-FPM worker as laid out below.<\/p>\n

nano \/etc\/php5\/fpm\/pool.d\/www.conf<\/code><\/p>\n

pm.max_children = 512
\npm.start_servers = 32
\npm.min_spare_servers = 32
\npm.max_spare_servers = 512<\/code><\/p>\n

Now, start or restart all services.<\/p>\n

service nginx start
\nservice php5-fpm start
\nservice redis-server start
\nservice memcached start
\nservice mysql start<\/code><\/p>\n

For ease of startup during boot, configure installed services to be automatically started at boot time.<\/p>\n

sudo update-rc.d nginx defaults
\nsudo update-rc.d nginx enable
\nsudo update-rc.d php5-fpm defaults
\nsudo update-rc.d php5-fpm enable
\nsudo update-rc.d redis-server defaults
\nsudo update-rc.d redis-server enable
\nsudo update-rc.d memcached defaults
\nsudo update-rc.d memcached enable
\nsudo update-rc.d mysql defaults
\nsudo update-rc.d mysql enable<\/code><\/p>\n

Insert the famed phpinfo into your webroot for test purposes. This will help in case of any problems with your PHP configuration.<\/p>\n

nano \/var\/www\/magento\/index.php<\/code><\/p>\n

<?php
\nphpinfo();
\n?><\/code><\/p>\n

chown www-data. \/var\/www\/magento\/index.php<\/code><\/p>\n

Install phpMyAdmin, a useful graphical tool for interacting with the databases on your server.<\/p>\n

apt-get install phpmyadmin<\/code><\/p>\n

Link phpMyAdmin to your webroot path.<\/p>\n

cd \/var\/www\/magento
\nln -s \/usr\/share\/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin<\/code><\/p>\n

Now, create the initial database for your upcoming Magento deployment. This is where Magento will store the data used during operation.<\/p>\n

mysql
\ncreate database magento;
\nCREATE USER 'magento'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'randompasshere';
\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magento.* TO 'magento'@'localhost';
\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\nexit<\/code><\/p>\n

Now that your environment is set up, you can go ahead and install the actual Magento software.<\/p>\n
