Magento E-Commerce Solution On Debian Etch - Page 2

8 Workstation

If you don't have a DNS-server running in your network, you have to edit the hosts-file on the workstation from that you want to access the magento-host.

Linux workstation:

vi /etc/hosts

It should look like this:

127.0.0.1              localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.10        workstation.example.com workstation
192.168.0.100      server1.example.com server1 www.example.com

On Windows workstations you'll find the hosts-file in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\" .

9 Install Magento

Open http://www.example.com within your browser on the workstation - the installation wizard appears. Read the license agreement and accept it if you agree with it. Afterwards click on "Continue".

Select your locale, time zone and default currency.

Adjust the settings for the "database connection". Insert the database user and his password that you chose at step 4.3. Additionally mark the checkbox next to "Skip URL validation" at the bottom of the page.

Enter your personal information and your login information for the backend/admin interface. Don't insert anything into the filed next to "Encryption Key". The system will automatically generate a key for you.
