How to setup Akeneo V2 with PHP7.1
We already have an article related to What is Akeneo and how can we set up with Ubuntu14.04.2 and php7?
In this article, we are going to setup Akeneo v2. We can install Akeneo using 2 ways, using Docker or using manual installation. Here, we use manual
Ubuntu 16.04
Apache2 ≥ 2.4
Php 7.1
Mysql 5.7
My Installation directory is /var/www/akeneo
Install all necessary packages(LAMP and php extensions)
sudo su #Mysql apt install mysql-server #PHP add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php apt update apt install php7.1-apcu php7.1-bcmath php7.1-cli php7.1-curl php7.1-fpm php7.1-gd php7.1-intl php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-mysql php7.1-soap php7.1-xml php7.1-zip #Apache apt install apache2 a2enmod rewrite proxy_fcgi systemctl restart apache2
Install Elastic Search (5.5+)
apt install apt-transport-https wget -O - https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch | apt-key add - echo "deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/5.x/apt stable main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elastic-5.x.list apt update apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless apt install elasticsearch # You will probably need to increase the MAX_MAP_COUNT Linux kernel setting sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144 echo "vm.max_map_count=262144" | tee /etc/sysctl.d/elasticsearch.conf systemctl restart elasticsearch # service elasticsearch restart
Notes related to Elastic Search installation
1. Elastic should be installed/ running else tables will not create properly and setup will not work.
2. If memory issue is coming then we need to create/ increase swap memory (in case of low memory).
3. If you are facing some kind of issue at time of installation (apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless) then you can try this link to install java http://tipsonubuntu.com/2016/07/31/install-oracle-java-8-9-ubuntu-16-04-linux-mint-18/
