To create an infrastructure for an online store with 1C-Bitrix: Site Management using Terraform:

If you no longer need the resources you created, delete them.

Prepare your cloud

Go to the management console and log in to Yandex Cloud or create an account if you do not have one yet.
On the Yandex Cloud Billing page, make sure you have a billing account linked and it has the ACTIVE or TRIAL_ACTIVE status. If you do not have a billing account, create one.

If you have an active billing account, you can go to the cloud page to create or select a folder for your infrastructure to operate in.

Learn more about clouds and folders.

Required paid resources

The cost of supporting a 1C-Bitrix online store infrastructure includes:

Fee for a continuously running VM (see Yandex Compute Cloud pricing).
Fee for using a dynamic or static public IP address (see Yandex Virtual Private Cloud pricing).
Fee for using a MySQL® managed DB (see Managed Service for MySQL® pricing).

This tutorial uses the trial version of 1C-Bitrix with a 30-day trial period. You can check the cost of the product software versions on the 1C-Bitrix official website.

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or mirror website.

To create an infrastructure using Terraform:

Install Terraform, get the authentication credentials, and specify the source for installing the Yandex Cloud provider (see Configure a provider, step 1).

Prepare files with the infrastructure description:

Ready-made configuration

Manually

Clone the repository with configuration files.

git clone https://github.com/yandex-cloud-examples/yc-bitrix-website.git

Go to the directory with the repository. Make sure it contains the following files:
- bitrix-website.tf: New infrastructure configuration.
- bitrix-website.auto.tfvars: User data file.

Create a directory for configuration files.

In the directory, create:

bitrix-website.tf configuration file:

bitrix-website.tf

5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

Configure your VM for 1C-Bitrix

To configure a server for 1C-Bitrix:

Connect to the VM over SSH on behalf of the user specified when creating the VM, e.g., ubuntu:
```
ssh ubuntu@<VM_public_IP_address>
```
You can look up the VM's public IP address in the management console by checking the Public IPv4 address field under Network on the VM page.

Install the required software:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apache2 libapache2-mod-php php-gd php-mbstring php-mysql

Go to the project's working directory and download the 1C-Bitrix: Site Management distribution:
```
cd /var/www/html/
sudo wget https://www.1c-bitrix.ru/download/business_encode.tar.gz
```

Unpack the downloaded archive and delete unnecessary files:

sudo tar -zxf business_encode.tar.gz
sudo rm -f index.html business_encode.tar.gz

Make the www-data user the owner of the project's working directory:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

Check the permissions and owners of the working folder:

ls -l

Result:

total 40
drwxrwxr-x 7 www-data www-data  4096 Jun  8  2023 bitrix
-rwxrwxr-x 1 www-data www-data  1150 Nov 30  2020 favicon.ico
-rwxrwxr-x 1 www-data www-data  1353 Jun  8  2023 index.php

drwxrwxr-x 2 www-data www-data  4096 Jun  8  2023 upload

For 1C to work correctly, configure the PHP settings. To do this, use the built-in nano editor and modify the following variables in the php.ini configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/php/8.1/apache2/php.ini

Previously	Now
`short_open_tag = Off`	`short_open_tag = On`
`memory_limit = 128M`	`memory_limit = 256M`
`;date.timezone =`	`date.timezone = Europe/Moscow`
`;opcache.revalidate_freq =2`	`opcache.revalidate_freq =0`
`;session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/sessions"`	`session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/sessions"`

The php.ini file path depends on the PHP version installed. The example shows the path for version 8.1. For version 8.0, enter /etc/php/8.0/apache2/php.ini, for version8.2, enter /etc/php/8.2/apache2/php.ini, and so on.

Tip

To find the parameter you need in the nano editor, press Ctrl + W. Find the required parameter from the table above and save the changes using Ctrl + O. To exit the editor, press Ctrl + X.

Configure the Apache web server. To do this, edit the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf configuration file.
1. Open the file in the text editor:
```
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
```
2. Add the following section after the DocumentRoot /var/www/html line and save the changes:
```
<Directory /var/www/html>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Require all granted
</Directory>
```
3. Restart the web server to apply all the updated settings:
```
sudo systemctl restart apache2
```

After you run these commands, the server side will be configured for 1C-Bitrix to work correctly.

Configure 1C-Bitrix

Install and configure 1C-Bitrix:

Open the 1C-Bitrix: Site Management web interface at http://<VM_public_IP_address>/ in your browser. A page will open prompting you to install 1C-Bitrix.
Click Next on the installer welcome screen.
Read the license agreement and select I accept the license agreement. Then click Next.
You do not need to register the product (you can disable this option). Make sure the Install in UTF-8 encoding option is selected and click Next.
1C-Bitrix will check if the server is configured correctly. Click Next at the bottom of the page.
Configure the database:
1. In the Server field, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the DB you created. To find out this name:
  1. In the management console, open the folder page in a new browser tab.
  2. In the list of services, select Managed Service for MySQL.
  3. In the window that opens, select the BitrixMySQL cluster you created earlier.
  4. Select the Hosts tab in the left-hand menu.
  5. In the Host FQDN field, hover over the host name (format: rc1c-cfazv1db********) and copy the database FQDN by clicking the icon that appears. The FQDN will be added to the host name, so the Server field should contain a name in rc1c-cfazv1db********.mdb.yandexcloud.net format.
2. In the Username and Password fields, enter the data that you specified when creating the DB in Create a MySQL® DB cluster.
3. In the Database name field, specify the name of the created DB (db1).
4. Click Next.
Wait for the system installation and DB initialization to complete.
Create an administrator (a user to manage the system). Fill in the fields with your personal data and click Next.
Select the Online store template and click Next.
Confirm the selection of the only template and click Next.
Select a color for the previously selected template and click Next.
Fill in the fields according to your requirements for the online store and click Next.
If necessary, enable the inventory management function and specify when to reserve items at the warehouse. Click Next.
Enter your company information and click Next.
Select the types of payers your online store will work with and click Next.
Select the payment and delivery methods your online store supports and click Next.
Wait for the system installation to complete.
Once the installation is complete, click Go to website.
The online store interface will open in edit mode.
To view the website home page as a user, exit your website administration mode. To do this, click Exit in the top-right corner of the page and go to http://<VM_public_IP_address>/.
To return to edit mode, log in to the website using the administrator credentials you provided when configuring 1C-Bitrix.

Tip

To get system backups, create disk snapshots on your VM from time to time.

How to delete the resources you created

To stop paying for the resources you created:

Open the bitrix-website.tf configuration file and delete from it the description of the infrastructure you created.
