Install Control Web Panel and Magento 2.4.7 Manually on your VPS

Today, I will share with you how to install Magento 2 on a VPS.

Step 1. You need to have a VPS

If you don’t have a VPS, I recommend you can buy it on Contabo or Vultr

Contabo is cheaper, but you must pay at least per month.

Vultr is more expensive, but you can pay at least per hour.

Note:

You should use NVMe for your storage(NVMe faster than SSD)
You should use the location of the VPS near your customers(your website will load faster when customer open it).
You must use AlmaLinux 9, if you want to use CWP.

Step 2. Install Control Web Panel

2.1 Update your system

run command lines:

dnf update -y
dnf install wget -y

2.2 Install required dependencies

dnf install -y perl-libwww-perl perl-LWP-Protocol-https perl-GDGraph

2.3 Download and install CWP

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://centos-webpanel.com/cwp-el9-latest
sh cwp-el9-latest

Wait for the installation to complete (this may take 15-30 minutes)
After installation completes, reboot your server by command line:

reboot

Step 3. Install Elastic search

3.1 Update Your System

sudo dnf update -y

3.2 Add ElasticSearch Repository

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo << EOF
[elasticsearch-8.x]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 8.x packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/8.x/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md
EOF

3.3 Install ElasticSearch

sudo dnf install elasticsearch

3.4 Configure ElasticSearch

sudo vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml

3.5 Start and Enable ElasticSearch Service

sudo systemctl start elasticsearch
sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch

3.6 Testing ElasticSearch

curl -X GET "localhost:9200/"

It should shows like this

Step 4. Install Comoser

4.1 update the server

yum -y update

4.2 Switch into the /usr/local/src directory.

cd /usr/local/src

4.3 Install Composer by using cURL

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

mv -f composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

4.4 Check composer version

composer -V

Step 5. Install version PHP compatible with Magento 2.4.7

Step 6. Install Magento 2.4.7

6.1 Download Magento 2.4.7 at Github

Then upload it to your VPS. Or, you can use this command on your VPS to download it to on VPS:

wget https://github.com/magento/magento2/archive/refs/tags/2.4.7.zip

Use this command line:

ln -s /home/demo/public_htmls/magento247/pub /home/demo/public_html/magento247

With /home/demo/public_html/magento247 is folder website show up and /home/demo/public_htmls/magento247/ is root folder of your Magento.

6.2 Install all dependencies of Magento 2

run command line:

composer install

6.3 Install Magento 2 by command line:

php -dmemory_limit=4G bin/magento setup:install –base-url=https://demo.magepow.net/magento247/ \
–db-host=localhost –db-name=db_name \
–db-user=db_user –db-password=your_pass_word \
–admin-firstname=Magento –admin-lastname=User –admin-email=contact@magepow.net \
–admin-user=magepow –admin-password=admin123 –language=en_US \
–currency=USD –timezone=America/Chicago \
–use-rewrites=1 \
–search-engine=elasticsearch7 –elasticsearch-host=localhost \
–elasticsearch-port=9200

You can change this command line bellow:

https://demo.magepow.net/magento247/ – your domain

db_name – your database name

db_user – your database user

your_pass_word – your database password

contact@magepow.net – your email

magepow – the Username use to login(your should change it to your own)

admin123 – the Password use to login(your should change it to your own)

After run the above command line, you will get a screen like this

[SUCCESS]: Magento installation complete.
[SUCCESS]: Magento Admin URI: /admin_azh3x5o
Nothing to import.

Your Admin will be your domain/admin_azh3x5o

in my case: https://demo.magepow.net/magento247/admin_azh3x5o

You can run command line for upgrade, deploy, clean and flush cache:

php -d memory_limit=4048M bin/magento setup:upgrade && php -d memory_limit=4048M bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f && php -d memory_limit=4048M bin/magento c:c && php -d memory_limit=4048M bin/magento c:f

Step 7. Some popular issues

7.1 Permission wrong

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find ./var -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find ./pub/media -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find ./pub/static -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
chmod 777 ./app/etc
