In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bagisto eCommerce on the Debian 11 Bullseye. We will be using the PHP-FPM, Nginx web server, and MariaDB database.

Prerequisites

  • The latest version of Debian 11 Bullseye.
  • A user with root/sudo privileges.
  • A domain name pointed to your server IP address.

Installing LEMP Stack

At first, you will be installing the LEMP Stack on your Debian server. The current version of Bagisto eCommerce required PHP 7.4 or higher, the MariaDB 10.2.17 or higher, and Nginx web server.

Before you start installing packages, update your repository using the following command.

sudo apt update

Now install PHP-FPM, Nginx web server, and MariaDB database using the apt command below.

sudo apt install nginx-full mariadb-server php-fpm php-cli php-common php-zip php-mysql php-gd php-intl php-curl php-imap php-mbstring php-xml php-json libpcre3 git unzip -y

After all packages installation is completed, edit the PHP configuration 'php.ini' using nano editor.

sudo nano /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini
sudo nano /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini

Now change the following option with your current environment.

memory_limit = 512M
max_execution_time = 360
date.timezone = America/Toronto

Next, restart the PHP-FPM service to apply new configuration.

sudo systemctl restart php7.4-fpm

And you have completed the basic LEMP Stack installation that will be used for Bagisto eCommerce.

Setting Up MariaDB Root Password

After you have installed the LAMP Stack on your Debian server, you will set up the root password for MariaDB database. The recommended way to set up the MariaDB root password is by using the command-line tool 'mysql_secure_installation'.

Run the 'mysql_secure_installation' command below.

mysql_secure_installation

Now you will be asked for some questions:

  • Press ENTER to set up the root password for MariaDB.
  • Type 'Y' to switch the root user authentication using 'unix_socket_authentication' method.
  • Type 'Y' to setup the MariaDB root password, then input your password and repeat.

Change MariaDB root password

  • Type 'Y' to remove the MariaDB anonymous user.
  • Type 'Y' to disable remote login for the root user.
  • Type 'Y' again to remove the default database 'test' with all privileges on top of it.
  • Type 'Y' to reload all tables privileges to apply new changes.

Securing MariaDB deployment

And you've completed the basic secure deployment of MariaDB database.

Setting Up New Database and User for Bagiosto

After you have configured the MariaDB database, you will now create a new database and user for Bagisto eCommerce. You will need to log in to the MariaDB shell to create a new database and user.

Log in to the MariaDB shell as user 'root' using the following command.

mysql -u root -p

Now run the following query to create a new database 'basgisto' and user 'bagistouser' with the password 'BagistoPassword'.

CREATE DATABASE bagisto;
CREATE USER [email protected] IDENTIFIED BY 'BagistoPassword';

Next, allow the database user 'bagistouser' to access and write to the database 'bagisto', then reload all tables privileges. This is needed to apply new changes on MariaDB privileges.

GRANT ALL ON bagisto.* TO [email protected] WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now type 'exit' to log out from the MariaDB Shell. And you have created a new database and user for Bagisto installation.

Create new database and user Bagisto

Installing Composer Tool

In this step, you will be installing the Composer on your Debian system. The Composer is needed for installing Bagisto eCommerce.

Run the 'php' commands below to download the installer script for Composer. Also, this command will verify the installer script. Ensureyou get the message 'Installer verified' on your screen.

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '906a84df04cea2aa72f40b5f787e49f22d4c2f19492ac310e8cba5b96ac8b64115ac402c8cd292b8a03482574915d1a8') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"

Download and verify composer installer

Now, run the installer script 'composer-setup.php' to install the Composer, then remove the script 'composer-setup.php'.

php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

The installer scrip will download the binary file 'composer.phar'. Move and rename the 'composer.phar' to '/usr/local/bin/composer'.

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Installing Composer Tool

To verify the Composer installation, run the 'composer' command below.

sudo -u www-data composer --version
