For testing and developing sites on Bitrix (and others too), I use the Bitrix: Web Environment package for Windows, initially tailored for one site. Let's install several sites in one web environment, and at the same time install an admin panel for the MySql database.

The manufacturer recommends using the Bitrix: Web Environment package for testing demo versions of the product. A convenient and intuitive wizard will automatically install everything that is necessary to work with the product: MySQL 5.0.51, Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.3, eAccelerator 0.9.5. He supposedly should even be able to send mail.

Download the web environment from here, launch it and install it, for example, in the “D:/BitrixEnv” folder.

Bitrix, due to some misunderstanding, is written in such a way that it can only work in the root of the site. For each site you need to create your own virtual host. The site settings are located in the folder "D:\BitrixEnv\apache2\conf\sites", the site files themselves will be placed in "D:\BitrixEnv\www-site synonym/", for ease of identification. The initial host of the web environment runs at localhost:6448. For each additional site we will create our own host settings and allocate a separate port (6449 and so on in order).

In the folder "D:\BitrixEnv\apache2\conf\sites" we duplicate the file default.conf with default settings, call it "9449.conf", again for ease of identification.

We edit by changing the port numbers, the location of the site folder and the name of the log files (in the picture in yellow and orange)

An additional site in Bitrix: Web Environment is ready for launch!

One strange thing was noticed - demo versions of Bitrix during installation cannot create a database themselves (in manual installation mode). To solve this problem, and in general for convenient management of the MySql database, many people recommend phpmyadmin. This is certainly a good tool, but for our case I recommend Adminer (formerly phpMinAdmin) - it is a lightweight administration tool for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MS SQL and Oracle. The project was born as a “lightweight” version of phpMyAdmin. Adminer fits into one file and does not require installation (just copy the php file to the server, for example in "D:\BitrixEnv\www\adminer.php").

Bitrix Environment

Tools

MySQL

Test site

Development site

We restart the Bitrix environment via the tray icon and begin testing and website development.

We perform similar actions for subsequent additional sites - copy the latest config, change the port number to a larger one, correct the site folder and names of log files (access and errors), add an entry to the main index.html. After restarting the web environment, all sites should work as we configured them.

(BitrixVM) are images of virtual machines with pre-installed Linux CentOS OS for the most common hypervisors. The settings are optimized for CMS 1C-Bitrix. Available for download from https://www.1c-bitrix.ru/download/vmbitrix.php

1C-Bitrix: Web environment(BitrixEnv) is an installation script that installs all the necessary software and optimizes the settings of a freshly installed Linux distribution of Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat for optimal operation of the 1C-Bitrix CMS. Available for download from https://www.1c-bitrix.ru/products/env/

Thus, the end result of both products is the same - the creation of an optimal environment for the operation of the 1C-Bitrix CMS. Moreover, for a non-specialist the difference in what was taken as a basis, BitrixVM or BitrixEnv, may not be obvious.

Which option to choose depends on personal preferences and the specifics of the tasks being solved. So, for quick deployment in a hypervisor, it would be optimal 1C-Bitrix: Virtual machine. You just need to change the disk size. For example, for installation on a dedicated server or for fine-tuning Linux OS parameters - 1C-Bitrix: Web environment.

Advantages

“1C-Bitrix: Virtual Machine” is an excellent solution to the problem of high-quality configuration of hosting and dedicated servers. Usually, in order to achieve high project performance, you need to configure the server software, OS, and hardware yourself. In addition, it is important to ensure safety. And in “1C-Bitrix: Virtual Machine” all these settings have already been completed. As a result, you save time and money on server deployment and configuration, on purchasing the necessary equipment, and on ensuring project security.

Everything is ready to go!

The virtual server is ready for immediate use. This means that 1C-Bitrix products will work quickly on the server, and most of the services here are not just configured, but work perfectly.

After installing the virtual machine:

you can use the cluster setup wizard and add additional sites;
the menu allows you to configure sending mail through an external SMTP server;
if you configure an SMTP gateway, mail can be routed within the organization;
the instant messaging server (XMPP/JABBER server) is configured and running (automatically starts);
Miranda, QIP and other messenger programs can be configured to work with the Internet/Intranet portal;
indexing of office documents is configured;
WebDAV is configured and running;
HTTPS support for the Corporate Portal;
SSL support for XMPP

Saving

There are significant savings for the company:

on deployment time;
on equipment;
on operating costs.

Rent

The product “1C-Bitrix: Virtual Machine” can be rented from hosting providers. You can rent a virtual machine using any virtualization technology: VMware, Parallels Virtuozzo Containers, Amazon EC2 (AMI), Open VZ, Citrix.

At the beginning of this year, Bitrix released a new, seventh version of their “Web Environment”. The most important thing is that installation on CentOS 7 and php 7 is now officially supported. A short explanation if you are not aware. “1C-Bitrix: Web Environment” is a ready-made environment with a pre-installed recommended set of software necessary for the correct operation of the 1C-Bitrix CMS. It comes in a wide variety - there are ready-made images for various virtualizations (for more details, see the official website) and an installation script for installation on the server. Here we will consider working with the latter.

What will we get?

The web environment is positioned as the best solution for the entire line of Bitrix products - both for all editions of “1C-Bitrix: Site Management” and for the Bitrix24 box. Let's see what we are offered to use as a recommended combination.
The scheme itself is traditional: Apache+nginx. For the current 7.0.1 version of the web environment, stable Apache 2.4 and nginx 1.10.2 are used. The most important innovation is the transition to php 7. There are no rumors about official support for nginx+php-fpm yet, so this option will still have to be assembled by hand.
The MySQL version, or rather the MariaDB fork, is still 5.5, according to the official CentOS repositories. Although, if you updated to the latest versions of Bitrix, you probably came across a proposal to run a certain SQL query in the database console for the “Web Messenger” module, which can only be done with version 5.6. I’ll tell you about the transition to 5.6 as well.
What else is included in the package:

memcached is a service that provides data caching in RAM and, when used correctly, provides significant speedup. Not used by default;
stunnel – for organizing encrypted SSL tunnels;
catdoc is a library for working with MS Office formats. In particular, it is used for searching documents;
xpdf – the same tasks as above, only for PDF;
munin and nagios – server status monitoring. Not used by default;
sphinx - full text search. Currently the best solution in terms of convenience, quality and search speed. Default is not used.

Of course, all this is already configured to work correctly with each other. Let's bet.

Installing "1C-Bitrix: Web Environment" on the server

Download the installation script - you can see the current download link at the office. website. We must run it as root and further assume that we are in / root . If not, proceed by running:

If you have SElinux enabled, the first step will ask you to disable:

You must disable SElinux before installing the Bitrix Environment. Do you want disable SELinux?(Y|n)

You must disable SElinux before installing the Bitrix Environment.

Do you want disable SELinux? (Y|n)

We agree and press Enter to confirm. After a successful shutdown, you need to reboot the server:

Change SELinux state to disabled in /etc/selinux/config Change SELinux state to disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux Please reboot the system! (cmd: reboot)

Change SELinux state to disabled in /etc/selinux/config

Change SELinux state to disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux

Please reboot the system! (cmd: reboot)

After the reboot, run the installation script again.

Launching the installation of “1C-Bitrix: Web Environment”

The system update process will be launched first to update the versions of installed packages. Those. in fact:

yum-y update

Then all the necessary software will be installed. The installation process takes about 10-15 minutes. After installation, we will be asked if we want to set the root password for MySQL. We agree and install:

Do you want to set a password for root user in MySQL service?(Y|n): Enter root password: Re-enter root password:

Do you want to set a password for root user in MySQL service ? (Y | n) :

Enter root password:

Re-enter root password:

At this point, the installation is complete and a corresponding notification will be issued.
We run the environment management script (after a reboot and login as root, this script will run automatically):

# ./menu.sh

When we first start, we will be asked to set a password for the bitrix user.

We set a password and get to the start menu “1C-Bitrix: Web Environment”. The installation is complete, let's move on to configuration.

Setting up the Bitrix Web environment

What's good about Web Environment scripts is that they allow you to configure a web server for 1C-Bitrix without having in-depth knowledge of Linux administration. And for those who understand, reduce the time for routine operations on setting up a server. Theoretically, you don’t need to leave the web environment shell at all; everything should be done using it. In practice, of course, this is not entirely true, but for quickly starting a web server, this is an excellent solution.
Let's figure out the settings a little and create an environment for the site where we will deploy Bitrix: Site Management (BUS).
First of all, we need to create a Menengment pool (managed environment). To do this, select menu item 1 (press number 1 and Enter). A wizard will launch and ask you to enter the FQDN address of your site. Enter your domain name without www, http, etc. Because I'm setting up in a local virtual environment, for me it will be mysite.local.

After this, a significant number of items will be added to the main menu.

Actually, we could stop here, if you go to the address that you set for the environment, you will see the following:

Those. You can easily deploy your Bitrix from scratch or from a backup copy.
Let's torment the web environment menu a little more and see what useful things can be done.

Mail setup

This is the first point that needs to be done before installation the CMS itself.
Let's first go 6. Manage sites in the pool, then 4. Change email settings on site. Then we select the site for which we are setting up; if we have only one (will be designated as default), then simply press Enter. Then:

Enter from address (ex. [email protected]): indicate the address on behalf of which the mailing will take place, it is advisable to indicate an existing one;
Enter server address or DNS (127.0.0.1): leave as indicated and press Enter;
Enter server port (25): leave the same as is;
Do you want to use SMTP authentication on the 127.0.0.1:25? (N|y) – no, thanks. Enter n;
Do you need TLS enable for 127.0.0.1:25 (n|Y): same no, enter n .

Actually everything can be seen in the screenshot:

In Bitrix, run “System Check” and make sure that everything is in order:

I hope you understand that mail sent this way will have very little credibility. Therefore, I recommend setting up mail through a real SMTP server with authentication and configured DKIM.
And one more thing - the mail log is written to /home/bitrix/msmtp_default.log

Enable memcached

In the main menu, go to point 4. Configure memcahed servers. And then 1. Create memcached server . Then enter the host name for which the service will be launched. In our case, we have only one.

Actually, everything – as you can see on the screenshot, everything is running. Press Enter to return to the previous menu.
After this, do not forget to enable memcached support in Bitrix - as described in the official documentation.

Similarly, we will add support for full-text search for Bitrix via sphinx. Select 7. Manage sphinx in the pool, then 1. Create sphinx instance on server
Here we need to first enter the hostname and then the name of the database that sphinx will work with. Agree to the reindexing request (Bitrix must already be installed and the database is not empty).

As always with Bitrix, there are features. If the “Search” module is less than version 17.0.0, you will receive the message “Error connecting to the Sphinx server: MySql extension is not installed.”

And lastly,

How to disable automatic launch of the Web Environment menu upon login

Exit the web environment menu to the server console (0. Exit). And in the ~/.bash_profile file we comment out the last line, where the menu script is called:

export PATH #bitrix-env export BITRIX_VA_VER=7.0.1 #menu #~/menu.sh - call menu at session start
