sql sudo apt update sudo apt upgradeThis will update the package list and upgrade the installed packages to their latest versions. Proceed to the next step when ready.
Step 2: Install Apache, PHP, and MariaDB
To run OpenCart on your Raspberry Pi, you'll need to install a web server, a database server, and PHP. Use Apache, MariaDB, and PHP for this purpose. Run the following commands to install them:
Add the PHP repository and update your package list:
arduino sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates wget wget -qO - https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/php-archive-keyring.gpg echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/php-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list sudo apt updatesudo apt install apache2 -y sudo apt install mariadb-server -y sudo apt install php8.1 php8.1-mysql php8.1-gd php8.1-curl php8.1-xml php8.1-mbstring php8.1-zip libapache2-mod-php8.1 -yVerify that PHP 8.1 is installed by checking its version:
ruby php -vRestart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2Step 3: Configure MariaDB
Secure and configure MariaDB after installation. Run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:
sudo mysql_secure_installationYou'll be prompted to set a root password and answer a series of questions. Follow the recommendations to improve security. For the questions, answer as follows:
- Switch to unix_socket authentication? [Y/n] n
- Change the password for root? [Y/n] n
- Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
- Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
- Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
Next, create a database and user for OpenCart. Log in to the MariaDB console by running:
css sudo mysql -u root -pEnter the root password you set earlier. Then execute the following commands to create a database and user for OpenCart:
sql CREATE DATABASE opencart; CREATE USER 'opencartuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON opencart.* TO 'opencartuser'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;Replace 'your_password' with a strong password of your choice. Remember this database name, username, and password, as you'll need them during the OpenCart installation.
Step 4: Download and Set Up OpenCart
First, navigate to the
/var/wwwdirectory and download the latest OpenCart release from their GitHub repository:bash cd /var/www sudo wget https://github.com/opencart/opencart/releases/download/4.0.2.1/opencart-4.0.2.1.zip*Note that the version number in the URL might change as new versions are released. Make sure to check the OpenCart GitHub repository for the latest release.
Now, unzip the downloaded file and move the contents of the 'upload' directory to a new directory named 'opencart':
bash sudo apt install unzip -y sudo unzip opencart-4.0.2.1.zip cd opencart-4.0.2.1 sudo mv upload opencartChange the ownership of the 'opencart' directory to the Apache user:
kotlin sudo chown -R www-data:www-data opencartStep 5: Configure Apache
Configure Apache Create an Apache virtual host configuration for your OpenCart installation. First, create a new configuration file:
Install PHP-FPM:
sudo apt install php8.1-fpm -yEnable the proxy_fcgi and setenvif modules in Apache:
bash sudo a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/opencart.confPaste the following configuration into the file, replacing 'your_domain' with your domain name or your Raspberry Pi's local IP address:
```bash
ServerName localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart <Directory /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart> Options FollowSymlinks AllowOverride All Require all granted <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler "proxy:unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost/" </FilesMatch> </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/opencart_error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/opencart_access.log combined```
Save and close the file. Then, disable the default Apache site and enable the OpenCart site:
arduino sudo a2dissite 000-default sudo a2ensite opencart sudo systemctl restart apache2 sudo systemctl restart php8.1-fpmEnable the Apache rewrite module, which is required by OpenCart:
sudo a2enmod rewriteFinally, restart the Apache service to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart apache2Create and set the correct permissions for the config.php files:
bash sudo touch /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart/config.php sudo touch /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart/admin/config.php sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart/config.php sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart/admin/config.php sudo find /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; sudo find /var/www/opencart-4.0.2.1/opencart -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;Step 6: Complete OpenCart Installation via Web Interface
Open a web browser and navigate to your domain or Raspberry Pi's local IP address. You should see the OpenCart installation page. Follow the on-screen instructions and accept the license agreement. The installer will check your server for compatibility. If everything is set up correctly, you should see green checkmarks for all the requirements. Click "Continue" to proceed.
Enter the database connection details you created earlier:
- Database Driver: MySQLi
- Hostname: localhost
- Username: opencartuser
- Password: your_password (the one you set earlier)
- Database: opencart
- Port: 3306
- Prefix: oc_
Fill out the administrative account details to create your OpenCart admin user. Click "Continue" to complete the installation process. After the installation is complete, you'll be prompted to delete the "install" directory. To do this, run the following command:
bash sudo rm -rf /var/www/opencart/installNow, you should be able to access the OpenCart admin panel using the admin account you created during the installation process. That's it! You have successfully installed OpenCart on your Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64bit).
