วันนี้มีโอกาสได้ทดลองใช้ CMS สำหรับ E-Commerce Website โดย @KayEss แนะนำให้ลอง Magento ดู พบว่าเข้าท่ามากมาย ลองมาดูวิธีการติดตั้งกันครับ

Software requirement:

• Linux, Windows, or another UNIX-compatible operating system
• Apache Web Server (1.x or 2.x)
• PHP 5.2.0 or newer, with the following extensions/addons:
  • PDO/MySQL
  • MySQLi
  • mcrypt
  • mhash
  • simplexml
  • DOM
• MySQL 4.1.20 or newer
• InnoDB storage engine
• A Sendmail-compatible Mail Transfer Agent (MTA)
  • Magento will connect directly to an SMTP server if you don’t have an MTA

Installation

1. install necessories packages.
   

   sudo apt-get install php5-mhash php5-mcrypt php5-mysql

2. Download the .zip, .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz file from the Magento website and decompress it.
   

   tar -xvf magento-1.3.1.tar.bz2 magento/

3. Create a MySQL database and user/password for Magento

   cd magento
   sudo chmod -R www-data:www-data app/etc
   sudo chmod -R www-data:www-data var/

   if you can’t chown you can chmod to status 777

     Add vhost and save as magento
