OroCommerce Sample Application

What is OroCommerce?

OroCommerce is an open-source Business to Business Commerce application built with flexibility in mind. OroCommerce can be customized and extended to fit any B2B commerce needs.

Requirements

OroCommerce is a Symfony 2 based application with the following requirements:

• PHP 5.5.9 or above
• PHP 5.5.9 or above with command line interface
• PHP Extensions
  • GD
  • Mcrypt
  • JSON
  • ctype
  • Tokenizer
  • SimpleXML
  • PCRE
  • ICU
• MySQL 5.1 or above
• PostgreSQL 9.1 or above

Installation instructions

Using Composer

This OroCommerce application uses both Composer and Git Submodules to manage its dependencies, this is the recommended way to install the application.

• If you don't have Composer yet, download it and follow the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:

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

• Clone https://github.com/orocommerce/orocommerce-application.git repository with

git clone --recursive https://github.com/orocommerce/orocommerce-application.git

• Make sure that you have NodeJS installed

• Install project dependencies with composer. If installation process seems too slow you can use "--prefer-dist" option. Run composer installation:

php composer.phar install --prefer-dist

• Create the database with the name specified on previous step (default name is "b2b_dev").

• Install application and admin user with Installation Wizard by opening install.php in the browser or from CLI:

php app/console oro:install --env prod

Note: If the installation process times out, add the --timeout=0 argument to the command.

• Enable WebSockets messaging

php app/console clank:server --env prod

• Configure crontab or scheduled tasks execution to run the command below every minute:

php app/console oro:cron --env prod

Note: app/console is a path from project root folder. Please make sure you are using full path for crontab configuration or if you running console command from other location.

Installation notes

Installed PHP Accelerators must be compatible with Symfony and Doctrine (support DOCBLOCKs)

Note that the port used in Websocket must be open in firewall for outgoing/incoming connections

Using MySQL 5.6 on HDD is potentially risky because of performance issues

Recommended configuration for this case:

innodb_file_per_table = 0

And ensure that timeout has default value

wait_timeout = 28800

PostgreSQL installation notes

You need to load uuid-ossp extension for proper doctrine's guid type handling. Log into database and run sql query:

CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp";

Web Server Configuration

The OroCommerce sample application is based on the Symfony standard application so web server configuration recommendations are the same.
