What is Magento?

Magento is free and open source e-commerce platform and magento is written in PHP language. Magento is fully  customizable  and we can use mariadb database for its database. In this tutorial we install Magento Community Edition with the LAMP stack.

Installation of Apache web server

To install apache web server on the centos server we need to execute the below command.

[root@localhost ~]# yum install httpd –y

And after installing the apache service we need to start and enable this service using this below command.

[root@localhost ~]#systemctl start httpd

[root@localhost ~]#systemctl enable httpd

After starting this service we need to allow http and https service in the firewall. To do this we need to execute the below command.

[root@localhost ~]#firewall-cmd –permanent –add-service=http

[root@localhost ~]#firewall-cmd –permanent –add-service=https

[root@localhost ~]#firewall-cmd –reload

Installation of Mariadb database on centos server

To install mariadb server we need to create mariadb repo file(mariadb.repo) and add these below lines.

[mariadb]

name = MariaDB

baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.1/centos7-amd64

gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB

gpgcheck=1

To install mariadb database using the below command.

[root@localhost ~]# yum install mariadb-server mariadb

After install tha mariadb we need to start mariadb service and secure the maiadb database using the below steps.

#mysql_secure_installation

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB

      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current

password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and

you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,

so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):

OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB

root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] y

New password:

Re-enter new password:

Password updated successfully!

Reloading privilege tables..

 ... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone

to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for

them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation

go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a

production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y

 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This

ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y

 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can

access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed

before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y

 - Dropping test database...

 ... Success!

 - Removing privileges on test database...

 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far

will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB

installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

After that restart the service using the below command.

#systemctl restart mariadb

Now create the magento database and user using the below steps.

# mysql -u root -p

mysql> create database magento;

mysql> CREATE USER magento@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "magento";

mysql> GRANT ALL ON magento.* TO magento@localhost;

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

mysql> exit

Install methods Magento on centos server.

Now download the latest community package from the magento official site and extract this package on the “/var/www/html” directory.

#tar -xvzf <magento package> -C /var/www/html

After doing the above steps we need to change the ownership as below.

#chown –R apache:apache /var/www/html.

Now access the url (http:// server-ip) to do the final installation setup.
