How to Install and Start the E-Commerce Service in Native Installations

How to Install and Start the E-Commerce Service in Native Installations

Nov 28, 2018

The following are instructions on how to bring up Otto e-commerce service alongside Native installations. Although the readthedocs information has instructions on how to install the e-commerce service, that is tailored for devstack installations.

Step-by-step guide

Assumptions:

  1. You are installing this on an AWS instance of Ubuntu 16.04, 64-bit

  2. You have at least 30GB of space assigned to the root drive

  3. You are installing the master branch of edx and not a named release. For named release related installation instructions, refer to the Native Open edX Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit installation Installation.

  4. These instructions are as current as of the Ginkgo.2 platform release

Preconfiguration of the server

  1.  Update and install system dependencies

    sudo apt-get update -y sudo apt-get install -y build-essential software-properties-common \ python-software-properties curl git-core \ libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libfreetype6-dev \ python-pip python-apt python-dev \ libxmlsec1-dev swig libmysqlclient-dev sudo pip install --upgrade pip sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv

  2. Clone the edx configuration repository and install edX and e-commerce

    cd /var/tmp git clone https://github.com/edx/configuration cd /var/tmp/configuration sudo pip install -r requirements.txt sudo pip install setuptools --upgrade cd /var/tmp/configuration/playbooks nano -w edx_sandbox.yml

    Inside the edx_sandbox.yml file, change the SANDBOX_ENABLE_ECOMMERCE flag from False to True.

    sudo ansible-playbook -c local edx_sandbox.yml -i "localhost,"

  3. Create a superuser account

    cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms --settings production create_user -s -p edx -e user@example.com sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms --settings production changepassword user sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms --settings production shell from django.contrib.auth.models import User me = User.objects.get(username="user") me.is_superuser = True me.is_staff = True me.save() exit()

    NOTE: The username for this account will be the first half of the email address provided in line 2 (the user part). As such, "user" in lines 2, 3, and 7 should all be identical. In line 6, User is to be entered exactly as listed as that's referencing a Django model and not an explicit user.

  4. Configure edX

    1. Edit /edx/app/edxapp/lms.env.json (replacing <server> with the IP address or URL of your server)

      1. Change flag FEATURES['ENABLE_OAUTH2_PROVIDER'] to true

      2. Change flag OAUTH_ENFORCE_SECURE to false if not using SSL; also change https to http for the remaining items.

      3. Change flag JWT_ISSUER to "https://<server>:80/oauth2"

      4. Change OAUTH_OIDC_ISSUER to "https://<server>:80/oauth2"

      5. Change ECOMMERCE_API_URL to "http://<server>:18130/api/v2"
