Magento AMI Installer – User Guide

This Magento AMI walks you through using the Magento auto-installer script (magento_installer.sh) to deploy a Magento site with Apache/Nginx, MySQL, and SSL on an AWS EC2 instance.

Prerequisites For Magento AMI Installer

This AMI comes pre-configured with all required software and Magento source code. Before using the installer, ensure the following:

• You launch the EC2 instance using the Magento AMI.
• The auto-installer script is available at: /home/ubuntu/magento_installer.sh
• The system pre-installs and configures Apache/Nginx, MySQL, Elasticsearch, OpenJDK 17, PHP and the required PHP extensions.
• The system has already placed the Magento source code under: /var/www/html/ or /var/www/html/magento2/
• DNS: Your domain must point to the EC2 public IP (A record set)

Installation Steps

Step 1: Run the Script

The system will prompt you to enter the following inputs:

1. MySQL Credentials

• Database name (e.g. magento_db)
• Database user (e.g. magento_user)
• Database password

Additionally, the script will create the DB and user automatically if they don’t exist.

2. Domain Validation

• Enter your domain (e.g. example.com)
• The script will check if the domain points to this server’s public IP.

If domain matches, installation proceeds.

If the domain doesn’t match, the system will ask you to try again.

Step 2: Magento Installation

Once the domain check passes:

• Magento setup will run silently in the background.
• A spinner will indicate progress.
• It typically takes few minutes.

Step 3: Apache/Nginx Virtual Host & SSLPath

• A VirtualHost config will be created for port 80 and 443.
  
• Apache/Nginx will reload.
  
• Let’s Encrypt SSL will be automatically issued using Certbot.
  
• Your site will be accessible over HTTPS.

Step 4: Credentials

At the end, the following will be saved at the mentioned directory

—–> /home/ubuntu/magento_admin_credentials_<your-domain>.txt

Contents include:

• Magento Store URL (e.g. https://example.com)
• Magento Admin URL (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/admin_xxxxxx)
• Magento Admin Username & Password
