How to Install Magento on a VPS with Ubuntu
Magento is one of the most popular platforms for online stores. Installing Magento on a virtual server with Ubuntu might seem challenging, but by following this guide, you can accomplish it without any problems.
The first step is to choose a VPS server with Ubuntu. You can select a recommended hosting provider or set up your own server. Installing Magento on a VPS with Ubuntu will ensure stable operation of your online store and provide flexible resource management.
Step 1: Installing the LAMP stack on your VPS
Before installing Magento, ensure that the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is installed on your VPS. Execute the following commands in the Ubuntu terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apache2
sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
After installing the LAMP stack, make sure that the Apache and MySQL services are running and configured to start on system boot.
Step 2: Downloading Magento to your VPS
Download the latest version of Magento from the official website and upload it to your server using FTP or the wget command:
wget https://magento.com/download
Extract the downloaded file and move all the contents to a directory accessible from a web browser. Ensure that file permissions are set correctly.
Step 3: Installing Magento via the Web Interface
Now open your browser and enter your VPS URL. You will be prompted to start the Magento installation process through the web interface. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
After completing the installation, you will have a fully functional online store on the Magento platform. Congratulations! You are now ready to start selling and managing your business online.
Remember to regularly update Magento and ensure the security of your online store. Good luck!
