Detaillierte Installationsanweisung

Prestashop ist eine Web-Applikation: sie bedarf eines Webservers, um ausgeführt zu werden und sie benötigt eine Domain, damit Ihre Besucher ihren Shop aufrufen können

Eine Domain registrieren

Bevor sie etwas downloaded oder installieren müssen Sie Ihrem Prestashop ein Zuhause einrichten.Dieses besteht aus zwei Komponenten: einer Domain und einem Webserver. Eine Domain dient der Identifikation für Ihre Website z.B. example.com oder meinonlineshop.net. Die domain verweist auf Ihren Webserver und repräsentiert ihren Shop im Internet.

Sie müssen eine Domain für Ihren Shop kaufen. In der Regel erhalten Sie eine Domain zusammen mit einem Online-Hostingpaket: einige Webhoster bieten auch kostenlose Domains für neue Accounts. Teilweise ist auch das erste Jahr gratis. Dies macht es einfacher direkt die Kombination von Hosting und Domain in einem Rutsch zu holen.

 

Tip

Es kann manchmal Probleme mit Hostern geben. Wenn Sie unzufrieden sind mit Ihrem Hostingangebot, und sich entschließen zu einem besseren Hoster zu wechseln müssen Sie Ihre Dateien, Daten(banken) und die Domain(s) zu diesem transferieren.

Die Dateien und Daten sind einfach zu transferieren, aber für den Umzug der Domain sind die Hoster als Registrare zuständig. Diese können unter Umständen den Domainumzug blockieren oder Gebühren für den Umzug verlangen. Und weil Ihre Domain ihre webadresse und oftmals auch die Marke Ihres Geschäfts darstellt sollten Sie sich streng an die Webhosting Regeln halten.

 

Deswegen wird oft empfohlen seine Domain zu registrieren bei einem unabhängigen Registrar (siehe auch: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_Registrar). Rein rechtlich können Sie eine Domain nicht kaufen. Sie können diese nur mieten, in der Regel für eine Jahresgebühr. Sie haben dann das Recht die Domain zu nutzen, solange Sie die Gebühr zahlen. Zahlen Sie die Gebühr nicht mehr verlieren Sie die Domain und eine beliebige andere Person kann sich das Recht der Nutzung erkaufen. Also auch wenn sie für die Registrierung der Domain bei einem Registrar extra bezahlen kann sich dies z.B. bei einem Hosterwechsel bezahlbar machen. Sie ändern einfach den DNS Eintrag und innerhalb von 24 Stunden ist Ihr Geschäft auf einem anderen Server für die Welt erreichbar.

If you would rather get your domain name from an independent registrar, here are some that you can trust:

There are many more. Ask your friends!

Finding a host

Now that you have a domain name, you need to have it lead to PrestaShop. This means that the PrestaShop files need to reside on a web server. You might have a web server of your own, but it is more likely that you have or will have your store hosted by an Internet hosting service (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_hosting_service), which provides you with an online home for a monthly or yearly fee.

Before starting an online store, you will first need to select a hosting provider. Just about every webhost can effectively handle the PrestaShop solution. However, only a few Hosting providers offer optimized servers for PrestaShop:

  • OVH in France: OVH
  • 1&1 in Spain: 1&1
  • InMotion Hosting in all countries, except France and Spain: InMotion

When choosing your host, remember one crucial requirement: it must provide you with support for PHP 5.2 (or more recent), the programming language with which PrestaShop is written, and MySQL 5 (or more recent), the database system where PrestaShop stores all its data. There are more requirements: see the "Technical requirements" section below.

Tip

PrestaShop can host your online business on its in-house web servers: our PrestaBox service was built in order to free merchants from any technical hassle, such as installing or updating PrestaShop.

Please consult our PrestaBox website for details on our low-priced, secure website hosting service. This is highly recommended for businesses with little to no experience with the Internet or computers.

Technical requirements

Info

PrestaShop is an application which runs on a web server, and is written using the PHP programming language. It stores its data in a MySQL server.

PHP is an open-source programming language, mainly used for web applications. Created in 1995, it has since become the most used programming language by web developers. It uses a C-like syntax, making it easy for developers to learn it.

MySQL is an open-source database management system. Also created in 1995, it has since become the most used database system by web developers. It is based on the SQL language, the most widely used database language.

Whichever hosting service you choose, it must have the following components installed on your web server:

  • System: Unix, Linux or Windows. Unix is highly recommended.
  • Web server: Apache Web server 1.3 or later.
  • PHP 5.2 or later. You may have to activate PHP 5 (ask your hosting provider).
  • MySQL 5.0 or later.
  • At least 64 Mb of RAM on your server (128 Mb is more comfy, the more the better).

PrestaShop can work with PHP 5.1.3 or later, but versions inferior to 5.2 have bugs that might prevent some functionalities to work as expected (such as invalid date time zone).
PrestaShop can also work with Microsoft's IIS Web server 6.0 or later, and nginx 1.0 or later.

Tools

You will need two tools: a text editor, in order to edit text files, and a FTP client, in order to transfer files from your machine to your server and vice-versa.

Text editor

Here are a few well-known text editors:

Note

Do NOT use a word processor when editing text files, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Write.

FTP client

FTP is short for "File Transfer Protocol", meaning the standard way used to transfer files from a computer to a web-host.

In this guide, we will use Filezilla, which is a great and free FTP client for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Download it from http://filezilla-project.org/ and start its installer. Note: do not download FileZilla Server, only FileZilla Client!

Once FileZilla is installed, you will need to configure it with the connection parameters for your web server, which should have been sent to you by your host. If not, ask for them to your host – or check your spam folder.

Basically, the needed parameters are:

  • a hostname or an IP address: the location of your hosting space's FTP server.
  • a username: your hosting account identifier, which is unique to you.
  • a password: obligatory security measure.

Open FileZilla, and open its Site Manager tool. You can do this in three different ways:

  • Press Ctrl-S,
  • Click the "Open the Site Manager" icon, at the top left,
  • Open the "File" menu, and select the "Site Manager..." option.

A window opens.

To add your hosting space to the Site Manager:

  1. Click the "New Site" button. A new entry is created in the site list. Give it a recognizable name.
  2. On the right side, in the "General" tab, enter the parameters your host provided you with: host, user, and password. You should not have to change the other default parameters, unless told so by your host.
  3. Once all the fields are properly filled, click the "Connect" button. This will both save your site in the list, and log you into your account, so that you can make sure everything works right.

If FileZilla does not suit you, here are a few other well-known FTP clients:

Making a plan

You should decide right away where you want to host PrestaShop. There are four possibilities relating to your domain name:

Note that thanks to the multistore feature, you can have as many stores as necessary with a single installation of PrestaShop 1.6, each with its own specific domain name if necessary. You should take that into account when deciding what goes where.
Whatever your plan, the default store will always reside where PrestaShop itself is located.
