Installing Miva Empressa

[singlephased]

Cpanel is one most flexible platforms and installing Miva Empresa takes a litte structure. To save webmaster a bunch of searching and to config miva to run without trying to modify the httpd.conf is really easy once you grasp the individual includes.

DO NOT MODIFY THE HTTPD.CONF USE THIS INFORMATION, THE CORRECT WAY and your changes don't get WRITTEN OVER

VirtualHost X0.X0.X0.X0:80> y

ServerName domain.com
ServerAlias www.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/username/public_html
ServerAdmin [email protected]
UseCanonicalName Off
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com combined
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
## User username # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
<IfModule !mod_disable_suexec.c>
SuexecUserGroup username username
</IfModule>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/*.conf"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/*.owner-username"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/*.conf"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/*.owner-username"


Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/*.conf"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/*.owner-username"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/username/domain.com/*.conf"
Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/username/*.conf"


</VirtualHost>


These includes came from making a directory in /usr/local/apache/conf called usersdata, and the sub directories note above. Then run the distiller and the rebulid script and your are on your way, dont forget to restart apache.

mivavm needs to be 4775 (set user id on execution) so that the MivaData and MivaRoot will be able to be seen by miva (ie: no more directory does not exist

errors)'

suExec should be Off in order for the Internal Server Errors to stop; due to the fact that a Server-Wide mode w/ Cpanel will most likely need to be ran as

root and SuExec prevents scripts running as root.

[ssl = 1] | [std = 2]

Assuming you make a miva-bin directory in the /usr/local/apache/ dir in the same location as the cgi-bin then this make sense:

Global Configuration

Add to Cpanel Pre-main:

AddType application/x-miva-compiled .mvc
Action application/x-miva-compiled /miva-bin/mivavm
ScriptAlias /miva-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/miva-bin/"


Add to Cpanel Pre-VirtualHosts:


SetEnv MvCONFIG_DIR_BUILTIN /usr/local/apache/miva-bin/lib/builtins
SetEnv MvCONFIG_DIR_CA /usr/local/apache/miva-bin/certs
SetEnv MvCONFIG_SSL_OPENSSL /usr/lib/libssl.so
SetEnv MvCONFIG_SSL_CRYPTO /usr/lib/libcrypto.so
SetEnv MvCONFIG_DATABASE_mysql /usr/local/apache/miva-bin/lib/databases/mysql.so
SetEnv MvCONFIG_COMMERCE_authnet /usr/local/apache/miva-bin/lib/commerce/authnet.so

SetEnv MvCONFIG_DIR_MIVA /usr/local/apache/htdocs/
SetEnv MvCONFIG_DIR_DATA /usr/local/apache/mivadata


That is it, if you followed the mive install documentation

http://docs.smallbusiness.miva.com/en-US/merchant/WebHost/webhelp/web_host_resources.htm

Good luck ! This is my contribution as I didn't think that it should be a secret and as server admins we should have complete information. Cpanel support gets a special thanks and kudo too.


Best Regards,

Miva Merchant Empresa provides two installation modes: Server Safe Mode, and Standard Mode. To see which installation mode is best for you, go to: http://docs.mivamerchant.com/en-US/merchant/WebHost/webhelp/install_miva_empresa_vm_on_unix.htm
and read about the advantages, and disadvantages for both modes.

If, for whatever reason, Miva Expresa engine crash, every Web site using Miva Merchant will be down. This is by far the biggest disadvantage using Server-Safe Mode. That said, I highly recommend the Standard Mode.

OK, I just updated apache and php.. I knew my httpd.conf would be rewritten so I saved a backup.
I have the Miva settings that worked a few hours ago, and I have added them (they are little different from yours since I have a older version I believe) to the included via Whm, pre main, and pre VH

restarted apache and nothing... well not nothing it no longer promts a download of my MVC files, just moves to an error page.

what am I missing... I didn't really follow the first part of your post.. I'm a server newbie (ish)
