This git repository creates a Magento installation on OpenShift.

Sample data is populated and the application configured automagically.

Create an account at http://www.openshift.com/

Create a php-5.4 + mysql 5.5 application based on this repo's code (you can call your application whatever you want)

rhc app create $appname php-5.4 mysql-5.5 phpmyadmin cron

The sample data tarball provided with Magento v1.9.0.1 is more than 400MB which almost exceeds 1GB of free space quota after extraction. So you need to upgrade your gear to atleast another 1GB for this application to be built and deployed successfully.

Add this upstream Magento repo

cd $appname 
git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/ravikiran438/magento-example.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master
# note that the git pull above can be used later to pull updates to Magento

Then push the repo upstream

git push

That's it, you can now checkout your application at:

http://$appname-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com

Default admin credentials: username admin password OpenShiftAdmin123.

After the installation it is important to change the admin password and other Magento configurations properly. Log in to

http://$appname-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com/admin

using the provided credentials and check all system settings, for example:

• System > My Account
• System > Configuration > General > Countries Options
• System > Configuration > General > Locale Options
• System > Configuration > Admin
• System > Configuration > System
