Downloads/VMware

= General =

This VMware appliance was made to show you the OXID eShop Community, Professional and Enterprise Edition web application in a working Linux web server environment. It is an ideal environment for locally building up your shopping cart system and is easy to copy to a real web server later (as described beneath).

For a newer version of the OXID eShop Community Edition, check http://www.oxid-esales.com/en/community/download-oxid-eshop.html Another purpose of this VM is the use for developing own OXID eShop modules and check your modules for certification. In case you want to make your modules OXID certified please contact us.

TAKE CARE: For security reasons, do not use this VMware image as a productive web server!

Now it is time to copy the OXID eShop files into the VM.

= How to copy files onto your vm =

Using shared folders
We prepared the latest OXVM for usage with shared folders. On the VMs desktop you will find a folder named "www" which is the root directory of the webserver. In the beginning, this directory is empty as there is no shared folder conected to the VM.


 * 1) Turn your VM off
 * 2) Back in the VMWare Player window select "OXVM" from the list and click "Edit virtual machine settings"
 * 3) Go to "options" and add a shared folder from your host machine's file system.

We recommend you to store your project files (e. g. OXID eShop installation files) there.



= Installing the OXID eShop =


 * 1) Download OXID eShop Community Edition or use an existing copy of OXID eShop Professional or Enterprise edition and copy the files into your shared folder or upload them.
 * 2) The database server in your virtual machine is already prepared. Please enter the following information in step 4. Database hostname or IP: localhost Database name :&lt;use a preferred name here&gt; Database username and password: both "root".
 * 3) You are done. Have fun with your OXID eShop!

= How to access the database =

We installed phpMyAdmin on the server. To access it, point your browser to http://&lt;youripaddress&gt;/phpmyadmin. Log in as "root" with password "root".

= Hint: File ownership =

Just a last hint: When you want to use your VMware appliance for another application or for another shop instance, you will probably generate a new folder and copy the files to it using e.g. WinSCP (use oxid | oxid as credentials). As you are root with WinSCP, you need to give the web server the ownership to the files. Login to your VMware machine and enter the following line:

chown –R www-data /newfolder
