In this article, we will show you how to install PrestaShop on a Debian 9 VPS<\/a>. Prestashop is an easy to use open source shopping cart application written in PHP used by website developers to build and run a successful online store. To install PrestaShop on a Debian 9 VPS follow the very easy steps described below.<\/p>\n At the time of writing this tutorial, the latest stable version of PrestaShop is v1.7.4.2 and it requires:<\/p>\n Log in to the VPS via SSH as user root<\/p>\n ssh roo@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/p>\n Once you are logged, run the following command to make sure that all installed OS packages are up to date:<\/p>\n apt-get update Stop and disable Apache service:<\/p>\n systemctl stop apache2 Install Nginx from Debian package repository. Simply, run the following command to install Nginx on your server:<\/p>\n apt-get install nginx<\/p>\n After the installation is complete, Nginx will automatically start. systemctl status nginx<\/p>\n Make sure that Nginx server is configured to automatically start upon a server boot:<\/p>\n systemctl enable nginx<\/p>\n Install MariaDB and PHP 7 on your server using the following commands:<\/p>\n apt-get install mysql-server Enable MariaDB and php-fpm to automatically start upon a server boot:<\/p>\n systemctl enable mariadb.service Download the latest stable version of PrestaShop in the \/opt directory on your server and extract it in the \/var\/www\/html\/ directory:<\/p>\n cd \/opt Edit the \u2018\/etc\/php\/7.0\/fpm\/php.ini\u2019 PHP configuration file. memory_limit = 256M<\/p>\n Also, set upload_max_filesize to 32 MB (or more):<\/p>\n upload_max_filesize = 32M<\/p>\n Also, modify the following settings:<\/p>\n file_uploads = On Restart the php-fpm service for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n systemctl restart php7.0-fpm.service<\/p>\n The web server user (www-data) needs to be able to write to files and directories inside the \u2018\/var\/www\/html\/prestashop\u2019 directory, so it can easily be accomplished by executing the following command:<\/p>\n chown www-data:www-data -R \/var\/www\/html\/prestashop\/<\/p>\n Create a new Nginx server block:<\/p>\n vi \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/your-domain.com<\/p>\n and add the following content:<\/p>\n server { index index.php;<\/p>\n rewrite ^\/api\/?(.*)$ \/webservice\/dispatcher.php?url=$1 last; location ~* .(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|html)$ { location ~ .php { Create a symbolic link:<\/p>\n ln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/your-domain.com \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/your-domain.com<\/p>\n Restart the Nginx service for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n systemctl restart nginx<\/p>\n Login to the MariaDB console with the root account:<\/p>\n mysql -u root -p<\/p>\n Create a MariaDB database, user and grant permissions to the user using the following command:<\/p>\n MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE prestashop; Do not forget to replace \u2018Str0ngPa55w0rd\u2019 with an actual strong password.<\/p>\n Open your favorite web browser and type in the following URL to access the PrestaShop web interface and start the setup:<\/p>\n http:\/\/your-domain.com\/<\/p>\n From here you can finish the setup by selecting the installation language and entering the information about your PrestaShop store. Then, create an administrator account and enter the following information to configure the database:<\/p>\n Database server address: 127.0.0.1<\/p>\n Database name: prestashop<\/p>\n Database login: prestashop<\/p>\n Database password: enter the MariaDB password for the PrestaShop MariaDB user.<\/p>\n For security reason, you must delete the \u2018install\u2019 directory:<\/p>\n rm -rf \/var\/www\/html\/prestashop\/install\/<\/p>\n Once you deleted the installation directory, login to the PrestaShop back-end by clicking on the \u2018Manage your store\u2019 button.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Congratulations! PrestaShop has been successfully installed on your server. You can now start using PrestaShop and customize it according to your needs.<\/p>\n Of course, you don\u2019t have to Install PrestaShop on a Debian 9 VPS<\/a> if you use our Managed PrestaShop Hosting services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to install PrestaShop on Debian 9, for you.
