How to Install Magento on 1And1 VPS (16 Steps)


Log into your 1and1 control panel according to the instructions you received when you set up your VPS account. Click 'Domains' in the control panel to make sure the domain you want to use with Magento is properly set up on your VPS account. Change the nameservers in your domain registration account to match your VPS nameservers, if necessary, before adding your domain to the list of domains you host on your server.
Click the 'Server administration' icon in the control panel menu. Wait a few seconds for the administration icons to appear. Click the 'Server access data' icon to obtain the log-in information for your Plesk and Virtuozzo server control panels as well as your SSH log-in.
Log in to your Virtuozzo control panel and click the 'System services' icon. Click the 'PSA' and 'mysqlid' icons and start the respective services. Enable auto-start when starting both services.
Set up your domain on your Plesk control panel if you have not done so already. Log in to your Plesk control panel and click the 'Domains' icon followed by the 'Create domain' prompt. Wait a second for the text fields to appear and enter your domain information according to the instructions. Create your FTP account in the specified text field and click 'Next.'
Wait for the next page to appear. Uncheck the 'PHP safe_mode' check box and click 'Finish.'
Download the latest version of Magento from the download page. Choose the Community Edition page for the free version or the Enterprise or Professional Edition page if you have purchased one of the paid Magento packages. Enter your user name and password in the proper fields of the log-in page to access your Enterprise or Professional account.
Uncompress the '.tar' archive containing the Magento files by right-clicking it if you are using a Mac computer or by opening your archiving software and choosing the name and location of your '.tar' file if you are using Windows.
Launch your FTP client. Enter your domain, username and password in the appropriate fields and click the server connection button or prompt. Choose the folder into which you have uncompressed your Magento files as the local folder and the directory into which you want to install Magento as your remote folder.
Drag the files from the local folder into the remote folder and wait about five minutes for the transfer to complete.
Type your domain address, including a slash and the name of the directory into which you installed Magento, if necessary, into your browser text window. Proceed with the on-screen installation procedure if you do not see an error message. Complete the remaining steps if you see an error message stating you have an invalid PHP version.
Connect to your server with SSH through the 1and1 control panel or with an SSH client. Use your root user name and password as provided in Step 2.
Type the following command at the first SSH prompt you see after entering your information. Omit the quotation marks and the period at the end: 'wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh |sh.'
Type 'yum update' without the quotes as soon as the next prompt appears. Choose 'No' when you are asked whether you want to install the updates.
Type the following commands and select 'Yes' after each subsequent prompt appears:
yum update php
yum update mcrypt
yum update mhash
yum update php-mcrypt
yum update php-mhash
Restart Apache by typing ' /etc/init.d/httpd restart' without the quotation marks as soon as the last 'yum update' is finished.
Type the full domain address for your Magento installation in your browser text window. Follow the on-screen installation prompts. Repeat Steps 11 to 15 if you still see an error message.
