Magento

HI All

I am at loggerheads with my developer about the time it takes to instal Magento.

I understand that it can take a few hours to upload the files, but I have been told by him it took hours to install using a VPN well he used lots of complex words!

I have been told the installation only takes a short time but I have been charged for a days work.

Please note the is not for any work in the back end just installation.

Thanks

Without knowing more details, it’s hard to be specific, but your developer could be on the mark.
He may have had to install a number of php modules and configure numerous other aspects of the VPS (assuming it was a ‘clean’ VPS). I would have spent at least a day just installing and setting up my VPS for Magento.

Installing Magento is not just a case of uploading a bunch of files and running install.php. It’s a complex application that requires the server running it to be set up and optimised.
