\"opencart\"<\/a>OpenCart is an easy to use and search engine friendly open source PHP based online shopping cart for all Internet merchants who want to create their own online business and participate in e-commerce.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This install guide assumes that Apache, MySQL and PHP 5 are already installed and configured on one of our Linux Virtual Server<\/a> hosting plans.<\/p>\n

Open the PHP configuration file (php.ini) and check if ‘Register Globals’, ‘Magic Quotes GPC’ and ‘Session Auto Start’ settings are set to Off and the ‘File Uploads’ setting is set to On. In order to find the location of ‘php.ini’ configuration file, execute the following command:<\/p>\n

# php -i | grep php.ini\n Configuration File (php.ini) Path => \/etc\n Loaded Configuration File => \/etc\/php.ini<\/pre>\n
Also, make sure that PHP is compiled with the following extensions: MySQL, GD, cURL, mCrypt and ZIP.<\/p>\n
Download OpenCart from the OpenCart website (http:\/\/www.opencart.com\/index.php?route=download\/download) . At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest stable version is OpenCart 1.5.5.1.<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/html\/\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/opencart\/opencart\/archive\/v1.5.5.1.zip\nunzip v1.5.5*<\/pre>\n
Log in to the MySQL console and create a database called \u2018opencartdb\u2019, assign a user to it, and assign the user ALL Privileges:<\/p>\n
mysql> create database opencartdb;\nmysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON opencartdb . * TO opencart@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxxx' WITH GRANT OPTION;\nmysql> flush privileges;<\/pre>\n
Do not forget to change \u2018xxxxxx\u2019 with your \u2018opencart\u2019 MySQL user password.
\nAlternatively, the MySQL database for the OpenCart shopping cart system can be created using phpMyAdmin.<\/p>\n
Execute the following commands:<\/p>\n
mv opencart-1.5.5.1 opencart\nchgrp apache -R opencart\/\ncd opencart\nmv upload store\ncd store\nmv config-dist.php config.php\nmv admin\/config-dist.php admin\/config.php<\/pre>\n
Make sure the following files and directories are writable for your web server user:<\/p>\n
config.php\nadmin\/config.php\nsystem\/cache\/\nsystem\/logs\/\nimage\/\nimage\/cache\/\nimage\/data\/\ndownload\/<\/pre>\n
Open http:\/\/<your-domain.com>\/opencart\/store\/ in your favorite web browser, follow the onscreen instructions and complete the installation.<\/p>\n
\"opencart<\/a><\/p>\n
Do not forget to delete the install directory after the installation is complete for security reasons.<\/p>\n
The administrator back-end is now available at http:\/\/<your-domain.com>\/opencart\/store\/admin\/<\/p>\n
Of course, if you are one of our Linux VPS<\/a> customers, you don’t have to do any of this, simply ask our admins, sit back and relax. Our admins will install it for you immediately. You may also refer to our guide on How to Install OpenCart on Ubuntu 18.04<\/a>.<\/p>\n
