In this 40 minute exclusive video tutorial you will learn how to install the e-commerce solution Magento on a dedicated server or VPS .
In order for you to follow this tutorial you must have a clean installation of your dedicated server och VPS (running Linux). You must also have the IP-adress of your server and username and password for a SSH connection available. This will be provided to you when purchasing a dedicated server or VPS from your hosting provider.
This tutorial is designed to cover everything from logging into the server for the first time to the actual installation of Magento itself.
I’m using Ubuntu Server in this tutorial, however the process of installing Magento on another Linux distribution is similar.
This tutorial will cover:
- Installing the server role LAMP (Apache, MySQL and PHP )
- Making sure your server meets the system requirements of Magento
- Downloading Magento directly to your server via SSH
- Extracting your files and moving them to the ”root folder” of Apache
- Setting correct permissions for the installation of Magento on folders and files
- Making sure your server supports mod_rewrite (the ability to use SEO -friendly links)
- Installing Magento
I will walk you through every command during this tutorial, and they will also be available in a PDF file along with the video itself.
