How to Install OXID eShop on Manjaro

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OXID eShop on your Manjaro system.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before we install the OXID eShop, we need to make sure that our system has all the required dependencies installed. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache mariadb php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-pdo php-xml phpmyadmin

This will install the Apache web server, MariaDB database server, PHP, and other required packages.

Step 2: Download and Extract OXID eShop

Open your web browser and navigate to the OXID eShop download page and download the latest version of the software (e.g., OXID eShop 6.5.5).

Next, open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the OXID eShop file.

cd ~/Downloads

Now, extract the downloaded file using the following command:

unzip OXID_ESHOP_6.5.5.zip

This will extract the OXID eShop files into a new directory called OXID_ESHOP_6.5.5.

Step 3: Move OXID eShop to Apache Web Server

After extracting the OXID eShop files, we need to move them to the Apache web server directory. Run the following command to move the files:

sudo mv OXID_ESHOP_6.5.5 /srv/http/

Step 4: Create a Database for OXID eShop

Next, we need to create a new database for OXID eShop. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted.

Next, run the following commands to create a new database called oxid and a new database user called oxiduser:

CREATE DATABASE oxid;
CREATE USER 'oxiduser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON oxid.* TO 'oxiduser'@'localhost';

Replace password with your preferred password.

Step 5: Configure OXID eShop

Now, we need to configure the OXID eShop installation. Open the web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://localhost/OXID_ESHOP_6.5.5/setup/

Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the OXID eShop installation. When prompted for the database settings, use the following values:

Database host: localhost
Database name: oxid
Database user: oxiduser
Database password: (password you set earlier)

Step 6: Configure Apache Web Server

Finally, we need to configure the Apache web server to serve the OXID eShop installation. Open the terminal and run the following commands:

sudo cp /srv/http/OXID_ESHOP_6.5.5/.htaccess /srv/http
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the end of the httpd.conf file:

<Directory "/srv/http/">
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Next, restart the Apache web server using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Access OXID eShop

Open the web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://localhost/OXID_ESHOP_6.5.5/

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OXID eShop on your Manjaro system.
