Deploy on Windows

Use this guide to deploy and configure precompiled Virto Commerce Platform V3.

Prerequisites

Downloading the precomplied binaries

  • Navigate to the Releases section of Virto Commerce Platform in GitHub.

  • You will find VirtoCommerce.Platform.3.x.x.zip file. In this file the site has already been built and can be run without additional compilation. The source code is not included.

  • Unpack this zip to a local directory C:\vc-platform-3. After that you will have the directory with Platform precompiled files.

Setup

Configure application strings

  • Open the appsettings.json file in a text editor.
  • In the ConnectionStrings section change VirtoCommerce node (provided user should have permission to create new database):
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "VirtoCommerce" : "Data Source={SQL Server URL};Initial Catalog={Database name};Persist Security Info=True;User ID={User name};Password={User password};MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Connect Timeout=30"
    },
  • In the Assets section set public url for assets Assets:FileSystem:PublicUrl with url of your application, this step is needed in order for display images
"Assets": {
        "Provider": "FileSystem",
        "FileSystem": {
            "RootPath": "~/assets",
            "PublicUrl": "https://localhost:5001/assets/" <-- Set your platform application url with port localhost:5001
        },
    },
  • In the Content section set public url for content Content:FileSystem:PublicUrl with url of your application, this step is needed in order for configure CMS content storage
"Content": {
        "Provider": "FileSystem",
        "FileSystem": {
            "RootPath": "~/cms-content",
            "PublicUrl": "https://localhost:5001/cms-content/" <-- Set your platform application url with port localhost:5001
        },
    },

Running the Platform only on HTTP schema

  • In order to run the platform only at HTTP schema in production mode, it's enough to pass only HTTP URLs in --urls argument of the dotnet command.
  dotnet VirtoCommerce.Platform.Web.dll --urls=http://localhost:5000

Running the Platform on HTTPS schema

  • Install and trust HTTPS certificate

Run to trust the .NET Core SDK HTTPS development certificate:

    dotnet dev-certs https --trust

Read more about enforcing HTTPS in ASP.NET Core

  • Run the Platform:

You can start platform by run exe file

cd C:\vc-platform-3\
VirtoCommerce.Platform.Web.exe

or by CLI "dotnet"

cd C:\vc-platform-3\
dotnet.exe VirtoCommerce.Platform.Web.dll

The output in the console will say something like:

Now listening on: http://localhost:5000
Now listening on: https://localhost:5001

First run sign in

  • Open https://localhost:5001 url in your browser. "Your connection is not private" might appear. Click "Advanced" and "Proceed to ...". Read more on removing this error and using a self-signed certificate: Trust the ASP.NET Core HTTPS development certificate
  • The application will create and initialize database on the first request. After that you should see the sign in page. Use the following credentials:
    • Login: admin
    • Password: store

The required web.config file was already included in the release package. It contains all the necessary settings for running in IIS.
