A sample e-commerce learning app

Introduction

This is a sample e-commerce application built for learning purposes.

Here's how to deploy it on CentOS systems:

Deploy Pre-Requisites

1. Install FirewallD

sudo yum install -y firewalld
sudo systemctl start firewalld
sudo systemctl enable firewalld
sudo systemctl status firewalld

Deploy and Configure Database

1. Install MariaDB

sudo yum install -y mariadb-server
sudo vi /etc/my.cnf
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo systemctl enable mariadb

2. Configure firewall for Database

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3306/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

3. Configure Database

$ mysql
MariaDB > CREATE DATABASE ecomdb;
MariaDB > CREATE USER 'ecomuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'ecompassword';
MariaDB > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'ecomuser'@'localhost';
MariaDB > FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

ON a multi-node setup remember to provide the IP address of the web server here: 'ecomuser'@'web-server-ip'

4. Load Product Inventory Information to database

Create the db-load-script.sql

cat > db-load-script.sql <<-EOF
USE ecomdb;
CREATE TABLE products (id mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,Name varchar(255) default NULL,Price varchar(255) default NULL, ImageUrl varchar(255) default NULL,PRIMARY KEY (id)) AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

INSERT INTO products (Name,Price,ImageUrl) VALUES ("Laptop","100","c-1.png"),("Drone","200","c-2.png"),("VR","300","c-3.png"),("Tablet","50","c-5.png"),("Watch","90","c-6.png"),("Phone Covers","20","c-7.png"),("Phone","80","c-8.png"),("Laptop","150","c-4.png");

EOF

Run sql script

sudo mysql < db-load-script.sql

Deploy and Configure Web

1. Install required packages

sudo yum install -y httpd php php-mysqlnd
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

2. Configure httpd

Change DirectoryIndex index.html to DirectoryIndex index.php to make the php page the default page

sudo sed -i 's/index.html/index.php/g' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

3. Start httpd

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

4. Download code

sudo yum install -y git
sudo git clone https://github.com/kodekloudhub/learning-app-ecommerce.git /var/www/html/

5. Create and Configure the .env File

   Create an .env file in the root of your project folder.

   cat > /var/www/html/.env <<-EOF
   DB_HOST=localhost
   DB_USER=ecomuser
   DB_PASSWORD=ecompassword
   DB_NAME=ecomdb
   EOF
   

6. Update index.php

   Update the index.php file to load the environment variables from the .env file and use them to connect to the database.

   <?php
   // Function to load environment variables from a .env file
   function loadEnv($path)
   {
       if (!file_exists($path)) {
           return false;
       }
   
       $lines = file($path, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
       foreach ($lines as $line) {
           if (strpos(trim($line), '#') === 0) {
               continue;
           }
   
           list($name, $value) = explode('=', $line, 2);
           $name = trim($name);
           $value = trim($value);
           putenv(sprintf('%s=%s', $name, $value));
       }
       return true;
   }
   
   // Load environment variables from .env file
   loadEnv(__DIR__ . '/.env');
   
   // Retrieve the database connection details from environment variables
   $dbHost = getenv('DB_HOST');
   $dbUser = getenv('DB_USER');
   $dbPassword = getenv('DB_PASSWORD');
   $dbName = getenv('DB_NAME');
   
   ?>
   
   ON a multi-node setup, remember to provide the IP address of the database server in the .env file.
   

7. Test

curl http://localhost
