Zen Cart is an online store management that supports multiple languages and currencies. It's designed to put the dream of running an online business within anyone's reach. While many other shopping cart solutions seem to be complicated programming exercises Zen Cart puts the needs of merchants and shoppers first.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • Zen Cart configuration:

    • Pinned official Zen Cart v2.2.2 source installed in /var/www/zencart.

    • turnkey-zencart-update checks and applies verified Zen Cart v2.2 patch releases while preserving the store configuration, merchant data, and renamed administrator directory.

      Security note: Major and minor Zen Cart upgrades require a supervised upgrade. See the Zen Cart documentation before changing release series.

  • SSL support out of the box.

  • Adminer administration frontend for MySQL (listening on port 12322 - uses SSL).

  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email (e.g., password recovery).

  • Webmin modules for configuring Apache2, PHP, MySQL and Postfix.
