The OXID CE Download page doesn’t offer a direct link to download the latest distribution using wget, rather just a button.
If you’d like to download the latest version of OXID CE to your CLI-run servers using wget, use http://bit.ly/download-oxid-ce.
The file will be placed on your disk as index.php, which you will have to rename.
Before you take off into the glories of e-Commerce with OXID, sometime, .htaccess and mod_rewrite configuration issues might pose small hinderences. This is a collection of problems that you might encounter, and solutions to them.
If you are are running a shop at a path other than the root web path (ex. http://www.domain.com/), say at http://www.domain.com/shop/, you will have to define the RewriteBase in your shop’s .htaccess file. Add this line:
RewriteBase /path/to/dir/subdir/
Ex. if you are running the shop at http://www.mydomain.com/shop/, then the RewriteBase should be:
RewriteBase /shop/
In your Apache server configuration, AllowOverride should be set to All (None by default on most Apache installations).
This helps SEF URLs to work, by allowing URL manipulation in the .htaccess file of your OXID installation.
If you are installing OXID on a LAMP server (Debian 5.0, Apache2, PHP5, Mysql5.1 system in my case), and mod_rewrite error shows up on the installation screen inspite of activating it with a2enmod rewrite, do make sure to set the AllowOverwrite directive to All (set to None on default Apache2 on Debian)
