Install magento into an existing wordpress site

Question

I have a wordpress site online and I'd like to integrate Magento into my existing site.

Okay so I want to

• Download the Magento files
• Setup my Apache configuration, for this I already have my site configuration, so I was thinking about putting magento in this url mysite.com/my-store/ ... but for this on apache should I use "location" directive?
• What else do I need to consider?

Answer 1

The best way to go about is install Magento in new folder and create new database as Magento requires a lot of resources and you don't want get it mixed.

It all depends what exactly is that you planning to achieve. Either to use your domain name as a main ecommerce and setup the Wordpress as a directory

domain-name.com/blog

if it's a blog or something, or you can setup an alias that points to the folder and have something like this:

store.domain-name.com

Another way to do it if you would like to have everything integrated is to use FishPig Extension and then simply update all the WordPress plugins and point it to your existing database.

这是两个单独的程序，所以最好是为Wordpress取得一个插件并将magento集成到内部，那里有一些这样的插件http://www.mwi-plugin.com/
