How to Install X-Cart 5 on Fedora 31

X-Cart is an extremely flexible open-source eCommerce platform with tons of features and integrations. X-Cart source code is hosted on Github. This guide describes the process of installing X-Cart 5 on a Fedora 31 Vultr instance, using Nginx as the web server and MariaDB as the database server.

Requirements

• PHP version 7.2 or higher
• PHP extensions: pdo, phar, mysql, mbstring, curl
• MySQL version 5.7.7 or higher or MariaDB equivalent
• Nginx

Before you begin

Check the Fedora version.

cat /etc/fedora-release
# Fedora release 31 (Thirty One)

Create a new non-root user account with sudo access and switch to it.

useradd -c "John Doe" johndoe && passwd johndoe
usermod -aG wheel johndoe
su - johndoe

NOTE: Replace johndoe with your username.

Set up the timezone.

timedatectl list-timezones
sudo timedatectl set-timezone 'Region/City'

Ensure that your system is up to date.

sudo dnf update

Install the needed packages.

sudo dnf install -y socat git wget unzip

Disable SELinux and Firewall.

sudo setenforce 0 ; sudo systemctl stop firewalld ; sudo systemctl disable firewalld

Install PHP

Instalējiet PHP, kā arī nepieciešamos PHP paplašinājumus.

sudo dnf install -y php-cli php-fpm php-common php-mbstring php-curl php-mysqlnd php-json php-xml php-phar php-pdo php-gd

Pārbaudiet versiju.

php --version
# PHP 7.3.15 (cli) (built: Feb 18 2020 09:25:23) ( NTS )

Sāciet un iespējojiet PHP-FPM.

sudo systemctl start php-fpm.service
sudo systemctl enable php-fpm.service

Instalējiet MariaDB

Instalējiet MariaDB.

sudo dnf install -y mariadb-server

Pārbaudiet versiju.

mysql --version
# mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.21-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1

Sāciet un iespējojiet MariaDB.

sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service

Palaidiet mysql_secure_installationskriptu, lai uzlabotu MariaDB instalācijas drošību.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

Piesakieties MariaDB kā root lietotājs.

sudo mysql -u root -p
# Enter password:

Izveidojiet jaunu MariaDB datu bāzi un lietotāju un atcerieties akreditācijas datus.

CREATE DATABASE dbname;
GRANT ALL ON dbname.* TO 'username' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Instalējiet Nginx

Instalējiet Nginx.

sudo dnf install -y nginx

Pārbaudiet versiju.

nginx -v
# nginx version: nginx/1.16.1

Sāciet un iespējojiet Nginx.

sudo systemctl start nginx.service
sudo systemctl enable nginx.service

Konfigurējiet Nginx lietošanai ar X-Cart.

sudo vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/xcart.conf

Un aizpildiet failu ar tālāk norādīto konfigurāciju.

server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;
  root /var/www/xcart;
  index index.php index.html index.htm;
  server_name example.com;
  location @handler {
    index cart.php;
    rewrite ^/sitemap.xml(\?.+)?$ /cart.php?target=sitemap;
    rewrite ^/(.*)$ /cart.php?url=$1 last;
  }
  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ @handler;
  }
  location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files     $uri @handler;
    fastcgi_split_path_info  ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/www.sock;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
  }
}

Pārbaudiet konfigurāciju.

sudo nginx -t

Pārlādēt Nginx.

sudo systemctl reload nginx.service

Instalējiet X-Cart

Pārejiet uz /var/wwwdirektoriju.

cd /var/www/

Lejupielādējiet jaunāko X-Cart versiju savā vietējā darbstacijā no https://www.x-cart.com/download.html .

Upload the X-Cart package to your server using SFTP. See our SFTP instructions here. Place the file in your /var/www/ directory. In this example, the filename is x-cart-5.4.0.10-en.tgz, yours may be different.

Extract the X-Cart package.

sudo tar -xzpf x-cart-5.4.0.10-en.tgz
sudo rm x-cart-5.4.0.10-en.tgz

Change ownership of the /var/www/xcart directory to nginx.

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /var/www/xcart

Run sudo vim /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf and set the user and group to nginx. Initially, they will be set to apache.

sudo vim /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
# user = nginx
# group = nginx

Navigate to example.com/install.php in your web browser and follow the instructions to finish the installation.
