Installing Magento with LAMP Stack on Ubuntu 21.10

Hello,

In this week’s feature highlight, we look at How to Install Magento with LAMP Stack on Ubuntu 21.10

Magento is an e-commerce platform built on open source technology that provides online merchants with a flexible shopping cart system, as well as control over the look, content, and functionality of their online store. Magento offers powerful marketing, search engine optimization, and catalog-management tools.

Check Magento Latest Versions Here.

Pre-requisites :

  • A system with Ubuntu 21.10 installed and running.
  • root access to the system.
  • Adobe Magento account. For creating an account Click here.
  • MySQL 8 installed and running, for this, you can refer to one of our guides for installing MySQL 8 on Ubuntu 21.10.

Once you’re all set, we’ll proceed with Magento installation and configuration.

Install Apache & PHP

Now , install Apache and PHP using below commads:

apt install -y apache2 apache2-utils php libapache2-mod-php php-cli php-fpm php-json php-pdo php-mysql php-zip php-gd  php-mbstring php-curl php-xml php-pear   php-bcmath

Reload apache

a2enmod php7.4

systemctl reload apache2

systemctl enable apache2

Update firewall

ufw allow 80/tcp

ufw allow 443/tcp

Create Database

Let us begin with creating a Database and a user. We will then grant the required privileges to the user so it can interact with the Database.

You should create a database with the name magento2 for all.

mysql -u root

CREATE DATABASE magento2;

CREATE USER 'magento2'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password_crowncloud';

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON magento2.* TO 'magento2'@'localhost';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

EXIT

The above commands will give complete access to the user magento2. We would suggest using a strong and long password.

Configure PHP Settings for Magento

Configure PHP Memory Limit, Post max size, and Upload max filesize. You can change the limit as per your need.

sed -i 's/memory_limit = .*/memory_limit = 512M/' /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

sed -i 's/post_max_size = .*/post_max_size = 256M/' /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

sed -i 's/upload_max_filesize = .*/upload_max_filesize = 512M/' /etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini

Enable Apache module if not already enabled then restart the Web Server.

a2enmod php7.4

systemctl restart apache2

Configuring Apache vHost

Now, create a new Apache configuration file dev.domainhere.info.conf for Magento with the following command.

Replace dev.domainhere.info with the domain name of your own for all the below code examples:

vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/dev.domainhere.info.conf

Now, press i to go to INSERT mode and type in the following lines of codes in the dev.domainhere.info.conf file.

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName dev.domainhere.info
ServerAlias dev.domainhere.info
ServerAdmin admin@dev.domainhere.info
DocumentRoot /var/www/magento

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dev.domainhere.info_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dev.domainhere.info_access.log combined

<Directory /var/www/magento>
Options FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Enable SSL and Rewrite:

a2ensite dev.domainhere.info

a2enmod rewrite ssl

Restart Apache:

systemctl restart apache2

Download Magento

Let’s install composer first:

cd /var/www

apt install curl git

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Now go to Adobe website and create access keys. For creating access keys : Click here.

The below commands will create a new folder Magento with the required files.

When prompted, enter your authentication keys. Your public key is your username & your private key is your password.

composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition magento

Let’s make the folder readable.

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/magento/

cd /var/www/html/magento

find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type f -exec chmod g+w {} +

find var generated vendor pub/static pub/media app/etc -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} +

chown -R :www-data . 

chmod u+x bin/magento

Disable Elasticsearch module.

php bin/magento module:disable {Magento_Elasticsearch,Magento_InventoryElasticsearch,Magento_Elasticsearch6,Magento_Elasticsearch7}

Install Magento

Let’s install Magento using the below command.

bin/magento setup:install

Yo can access the admin dashboard using the URL displayed after installation with username and password shown.

Next, disable the Magento2 two-factor authentication, clear the cache and install the Cron with the following commands:

-u www-data bin/magento module:disable Magento_TwoFactorAuth

-u www-data bin/magento cache:flush

-u www-data bin/magento cron:install

Restart apache:

systemctl restart apache2

Accessing the website

Now open the Domain name from your browser, this will load the Magento installed website.

https://dev.domainhere.info

Replace the dev.domainhere.info with the actual IP or domain configured on the server.
