Run the Component Manager

Overview of the Component Manager

This section discusses how to start the Component Manager, which updates or uninstalls Magento components:

  • Modules (extend Magento capabilities)
  • Themes (change the look and feel of your storefront and Admin)
  • Language packages (localize the storefront and Admin)

If you installed the Magento application by cloning the GitHub repository, you cannot use the Component Manager utility to update components. Instead, you must update them manually.

Prerequisites

Before continuing, complete all tasks discussed in Prerequisites.

Component Manager checklist

Before you continue, to avoid errors during your installation or update, make sure you verify all of the following:

Do not continue without performing these checks. Failure to do so could result in errors.

Magento file system owner and group

The Magento file system owner group must have write access to Magento directories and files.

Cron jobs are running

Magento requires three cron jobs, all running as the Magento file system owner.

To verify your cron jobs are set up properly, enter the following command as a user with root privileges:

crontab -u <magento file system owner> -l

For example, if your Magento file system owner is named magento_user, enter:

crontab -u magento_user -l

Results similar to the following should display:

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/magento2/bin/magento cron:run | grep -v "Ran jobs by schedule" >> /var/www/magento2/var/log/magento.cron.log
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/magento2/update/cron.php >> /var/www/magento2/var/log/update.cron.log
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/magento2/bin/magento setup:cron:run >> /var/www/magento2/var/log/setup.cron.log

Another symptom of cron not running is the following error in the Magento Admin:

cron isn't running

To see the error, you might need to click System Messages at the top of the window as follows:

System Messages

For details, see Set up cron.

File system permissions

For security reasons, Magento requires certain permissions on the file system. Permissions are different from ownership. Ownership determines who can perform actions on the file system; permissions determine what the user can do.

Directories in the Magento file system must be writable by the Magento file system owner’s group.

To verify your file system permissions are set properly, either log in to the Magento server or use your hosting provider’s file manager application.

For example, enter the following commands on a Linux system if the Magento application is installed in /var/www/html/magento2:

ls -al /var/www/html/magento2

A sample result follows:

In the preceding example, the Magento file system owner is magento_user. Directories in the Magento file system have drwxrwx--- permissions (775) and files have -rw-rw-rw- permissions (664).

To get more detailed information, you can optionally enter the following command:

ls -al /var/www/html/magento2/pub

Because Magento deploys static file assets to subdirectories of pub, it’s a good idea to verify permissions and ownership there as well.

For more information, see File system permissions and ownership.
