Server

It is recommended to host this application at least on a VPS server. Though you can host oneCart almost any server but most of the shared servers will not allow you to configure some required settings. With limited control, you will not be able to get the full performance from oneCart application.

TIPS! We love Digital Ocean!. A simple, powerful but not expensive VPS platform (Only $5/month! Cheaper than most shared hosting packages). Using this link you will get some credit to start with.

If you’are more comfortable with cPanel based hosting go for Bluehost. They have competitive pricing with good support.

 

  • Make sure you’ve sudo privilege on the server and access to command line tool and also have full access to the MySQL database.

 

PHP & Extensions

  • PHP version >= 7.2
  • OpenSSL
  • MySQLi
  • sqlite3
  • PDO_sqlite
  • PDO
  • SQLite
  • Mbstring
  • Tokenizer
  • XML
  • Ctype
  • JSON
  • cURL
  • Fileinfo
  • ZipArchive
  • exif
  • GD
  • pcntl
  • memchached

 

Apache

  • Be sure to enable the mod_rewrite module so the .htaccess file will be honored by the server.
  • If you’re using a shared hosting be sure the symlink() function is enabled on our server. Some shared server disable this function.

 

Nginx (Only if you are using Nginx server)

  • Set the proxy_read_timeout 150; and fastcgi_read_timeout 150; to nginx config

upload_max_filesize=512M or more

Permissions

After uploading the oneCart to your server, you may need to configure some permissions. Firstly set all your directories permission to 755 and files to 644 to protect your application from common security issues.

But, some directories must be writable by your web server to manage the application. So you need to allow your web-server user to have full access to these directories.

So, set permission 775 the bellow directories:

  • storage
  • storage/logs
  • storage/framework
  • bootstrap/cache
  • vendor
Help! Check the “How To” section of this doctumentaion, this article will help you to set the right permissions.

 

Document Root

When you visit a website, you are accessing a particular folder on a web server. For example, when you visit example.com, the server is pulling up the files at: /home/USERNAME/public_html. The web server only serves the files located at that folder to incoming visitors. The location of that web folder is called the “document root”  and is set by the Apache configuration.

Now you need to configure your server/domain’s document root to the /path/to/your/oneCart/public directory of your project. The index.php in the public directory serves as the front controller for all HTTP requests entering your application.

HELP! If you need any help, Check the How To section at the doc navigation.
