Magento 1.3.2.3 installer for ubuntu 9.04
OpenERP Appliance & All-In-One & Magento Forum
This script automates the setting up of Magento 1.3.2.3 on Ubuntu 9.0.4 Server & Desktop.
New update! Magento 1.3.2.4 installer
Magento (http://www.magentocommerce.com/) is an Open Source ecommerce web application.
Requirements: A fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.0.4 Server or Desktop without Apache nor Mysql. Only the core of the system is needed, so during the installation of your Ubuntu Server don’t select software to install like LAMP Server in the “Software Selection” menu (except for OpenSSH Server). This script installs Apache, PHP and Mysql; and expects to deal with default config files.
TIP: test this script within a Virtual Machine after installing Ubuntu 9.04 from scratch. Run the virtual machine in a bridged network (host and guest have same subnet and can be reached from the LAN).
Run the script as non-root with the following commands:
$ gzip -d Magento-1.3.2.3-installer-for-ubuntu9.04.sh.gz
$ chmod +x Magento-1.3.2.3-installer-for-ubuntu9.04.sh
$ ./Magento-1.3.2.3-installer-for-ubuntu9.04.sh
You will be asked for:
1) Mysql root password
2) IP address your OpenERP Web service will be listening on
3) Magento Admin username & Password
4) Your LANG, etc.
Magento Translations can be found at http://www.magentocommerce.com/langs
Example of how to install the Spanish (Spain) translation with modern theme (Full package Download):
sudo apt-get install unzip -y
unzip es_ES_modern_full_package.zip
sudo cp -r app/locale/es_ES/ /var/www/magento/app/locale/
sudo cp -r app/design/frontend/default/modern/locale/es_ES/ /var/www/magento/app/design/frontend/default/default/locale/
sudo chown -R www-data.www-data /var/www/magento/app
Refresh Magento Cache from Magento Admin Panel -> System-> Cache Management
The output of the script ends with:
MySQL “root” Administrator Password: mysqlpassword
MySQL Database Name for Magento = magentodb
MySQL Database Administrator for Magento = magentodbadmin
MySQL Database Administrator’s Password for Magento = magentodbpasswdMagento Admin Username = admin
Magento Admin Password = password
Magento Admin First Name: myfirstname
Magento Admin Last Name: mylastname
Magento Admin Email Address: mymail@addr.comMagento default locale = en_US
Magento default timezone = America/Los_Angeles
Magento default currency = USDAdd “magentoshop.com” to your DNS System!

Advantages of OpenERP Appliance
The weakest link of the free of charge OpenERP All-In-One for Linux is its dependence on the network and on launchpad.net repository, failing in case the Internet or Launchpad connection gets in trouble and requiring then a new deployment from scratch (with a fresh install of Ubuntu Linux included). Also, this All-In-One installer for Linux lasts longer than 40 minutes, downloading all the required python libraries and OpenERP source code. OpenERP All-In-One for Windows is easy-to-use and fast-to-deploy but is not update-able and not recommended for production either.
On the other hand, the purchase of these inexpensive OpenERP Appliances will save you precious time and money by including OpenERP source code without the need of an Internet connection for downloading OpenERP. The full installation processends in less than 5 minutes, and can be deployed on virtual machines, in cloud computing infrastructures or installed in physical computers. The appliances also offer a professional well tuned and tested installation with ease of use, latest OpenERP updates with full logging, and guarantee of success without licence costs. Actually this is the number one choice for mission-critical computing (production), testing and demonstrations.
Now you can get the performance, reliability, scalability and usability of propietary ERPs for up to 99,99 percent less!! 🙂

Where to purchase and download OpenERP Appliance
‘Add to cart’ buttons available here via e-junkie.com purchases. PayPal, credit card and debit card payments.
The downloading should take around 9 minutes. Bear in mind that any download is only as fast as the slowest link in the network route, which is usually the buyer’s own ISP connection — e.g., a 500MB file would take several hours, and a 2GB file would take a day or two, to download to completion over a 256kbps basic residential DSL connection. Files are zipped for Simple File Verification.

Key points
- A pre-packaged Installable Live CD OpenERP server on IA 32-bit Ubuntu Linux: an ISO image which installs on both bare metal (I.e., a non-virtualized physical machine) and virtual machines, including VMware, Xen, VirtualBox, and KVM. This image can also run live in non-persistent demo mode
- From the Desktop to the data center: deploys on both physical and virtual machines and in cloud computing infrastructure
- Based on TurnKey Linux Virtual Appliance Library
- Administrators gain an easy method of setting up a dedicated OpenERP server
- OpenERP branches included: openerp-server, openerp-web, openerp-client, addons, extra-addons.
- Apply latest OpenERP bug fixes available on Launchpad.net repository via openerp-update script in ‘openerp’ linux account.
- Its web based tools make it perfect for cloud computing and hosting services
- Desktop appliances offer a GUI Desktop to developers, testers and newbies
- Server appliances lack of GUI Desktop, being more suitable for cloud computing and hosting services
- Open source means no license cost, no vendor lock-in and no forced upgrades, resulting in lower costs and higher return on investment
Web based Tools (screenshot)
- OpenERP Web interface
- Web Shell: a web-based ssh shell. It runs on any browser capable of JavaScript and AJAX. You can use it from any computer or iPhone/smartphone
- Webmin: a web-based configuration tool for system administration. User accounts, Apache, DNS, software packages, backup, file sharing and much more can be configured remotely using a web browser
- phpPgAdmin: a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL
- TLKBAM: TurnKey Linux Backup and Migration, a simple and powerful system-level backup (not yet available on postgresql appliances like this one. Postgresql support is in the works according to turnkeylinux.org FAQ)

Physical Machines where openerp appliance has been deployed successfully
- HP ProLiant MicroServer AMD Turion II N40L/2GB/250GB. Due to its lack of a DVD drive, this openerp appliance needs to be installed from USB, for which UNetbootin can be used.
- etc.
Desktop virtualization tips and Howtos
- Install in a physical machine if you’re not familiar with virtualization
- Burn the ISO image to a DVD: The installation process will be much faster if the appliance is installed from a DVD
- Documentation: Example of how to deploy this appliance on VirtualBox (also applies to VMware): Read “Third, install the generic ISO image (#2 alternative)“ (external link)
- Deploy on the latest free of charge VMware player for windows (VMware Fusion on Mac OS X). VMware player default settings allow to reach the appliance from your windows browser, while virtualbox requires customization.
- The desktop appliance runs LXDE, a light weight X11 window manager suitable for netbooks
- VirtualBox and VMware Player can be installed on the same Windows system and run simultaneously.
- Desktop Appliances on VirtualBox or VMware Player: Set up full screen resolution, clipboard (copy/paste) support, and shared folders between the Virtual Machine and the Windows Host. Dual Monitor configuration: one monitor with a full screen Virtual Machine (openerpappliance), and the other monitor (i.e. laptop’s monitor) with the Windows host.
- VMware Player Settings:
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from a windows host: Its default network configuration (NAT) will allow you to reach the virtual machine from your windows host.
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from the LAN: Set up a Bridged network adapter. A DHCP server available in the LAN is required, like i.e. your wireless router.
- Desktop Appliance: At least 700MB of VM memory required.
- VirtualBox Settings:
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from a windows host: VirtualBox requires a non default configuration. Set up two network adapters:
- NAT adapter, required to reach Internet from inside the Virtual Machine. This is the default adapter.
- Host-only adapter, required to reach the Virtual Machine from the windows host. It has to be added manually.
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from the LAN: Set up a Bridged network adapter. A DHCP server available in the LAN is required, like i.e. your wireless router.
- Desktop Appliance: At least 700MB of VM memory required. Select 128MB of display memory.
- How to reach the Virtual Machine from a windows host: VirtualBox requires a non default configuration. Set up two network adapters:
- KVM on Linux hosts Settings:
- Desktop Appliance and virt-manager: Set up “vga 9MB” as default video adaptor before starting the KVM virtual machine. This fixes major display issues.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been fiddling for hours trying to get a simple Magento test server set up. I did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop, ran the script, and voila! Everything seems to be working great.
This is exactly the sort of thing that Linux needs: a simple script for beginners, while still allowing modification by experts. Great job.
I have one question, should I simply install all the defaults? (Such as the address is asks for is 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1, is this correct or am I missing something)
thanks for your work
Ubuntu comes with two default records in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 yourhostname
This is why 127.0.1.1 was included in the script as default IP addr that maps to your hostname and DNS Name of Magento (when no other IP address is given by the user).
127.0.1.1 is fine to test Magento locally, but a real IP addr is recommended in a network env.
Network settings of your Ubuntu sytem should be configured first.
You are my new personal hero 🙂
Every producer of CMS, E-Commerce etc. etc. should go this way with an installer script.
Thank you for the script.
Now my question!
“You will be asked for:
2) IP address your OpenERP Web service will be listening on”
I try this script on a virtual ubuntu 9.04 (vmware) but this script didn t ask me for 2) OpenERP …
How can I connect Magento with OpenERP with your Script?
Hi Olaf,
I’m gonna check and update this script as it’s now out of date (latest Magento release is v1.3.2.4). Will test the new openerp-magento connector in the following days and hopefully be able to create a video-tutorial.
Thanks!

Thank you!
Wow! I don’t understand how this is possible, but that’s good news!!!
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for sharing above script with us.

Hi Luigi,
First of all, try the new installer:
https://opensourceconsulting.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/magento-openerp-integration-on-ubuntu/
File permissions can be modified with the command “chmod”.
Regards
I’m unable to access my Webmin panel after installing the script. Any ideas why?
Probably because this script considers no more web applications run on the same ubuntu host. Proceed with a fresh install of ubuntu if you don’t want to deal with Apache’s config files.
Hi, I ran this script, but the links do not work after installation and also realized that my samba and my FTP stopped working, someone can tell me why?
First of all, it is recommended to run this installer on a fresh ubuntu 8.04 server or desktop. Secondly, this script blocks most of the ports by default (like those used by samba and FTP).
Your blog is a great source of information for magento developers and for people who wants to learn magento.

Thanks for your kindness. Good to hear that from a Magento expert!
Hi
tried this script out after many hours of reading and searching about magento, linux and ubuntu
The few problems in the installation are
Starting to download Mage_Core_Modules-1.4.0.1.tgz (1,773,350 bytes)
…done: 1,471,328 bytes
Starting to download Lib_ZF_Locale-1.9.6.0.tgz (1,522,612 bytes)
…done: 750,105 bytes
Installing Magento…
FAILED
ERROR: Illegal scheme supplied, only alphanumeric characters are permitted
Im running under WinXp 64 Pro
Wmware with Ubuntu 9.10 latest update + Vmware tools
If I start localhost/magento I will get magentoinstall to work but it would be nicer with a clean install without errors of course.
Any ideas out there ?
best regards
