Building a WeEngine WeChat Management System on ECS

1. Installing WeEngine

1.1 Setting up the Environment with Baota Panel

Installing WeEngine requires a LAMP environment (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP). To save our precious life for more exciting things, we'll use the Baota Linux Panel to simplify this process.

1.2 Download and Unzip WeEngine

Download the installation package:

https://cdn.w7.cc/download/WeEngine-Laster-Online.zip

1.3 Create Directory

1.4 Upload Files

Use Xftp to upload the unzipped install.php file to the WeEngine directory.

1.5 Add Site in Baota

In Baota Panel, add a new website. Make sure to check the "Create Database" option and remember the username and password.

1.6 Run Installation Wizard

Visit your-domain/install.php in your browser. Register and log in to your WeEngine account.

1.7 Fix Permissions

If you encounter permission issues, run the chown command in Xshell:

chown -R www /www/wwwroot/default

If it complains about .user.ini, try running the command without -R or ignore that specific file.

1.8 Verify Environment

If WeEngine detects any errors, click "Fix Exceptions" and follow the instructions.

1.9 Configure Database

Enter the database credentials you created in step 1.5.

1.10 Wait for Download

Sit back while the system downloads necessary files.

Finally, set up your system admin account and log in.

2. Managing WeChat Official Accounts

2.1 Create an Account

Go to the WeChat Official Platform (https://mp.weixin.qq.com/) and register an account.

2.3 Check WeEngine Version

Go to the WeEngine console and check for updates.

2.4 Add Platform

In the sidebar, select "Platform Management" and click "Add Platform".

2.5 Manual Addition

Select "Create New Official Account" and choose manual addition.

2.6 Fill Information

Fill in all the details for your WeChat Official Account.

2.7 AppId and AppSecret

You can find your AppId and AppSecret in the "Basic Configuration" section of the WeChat Official Platform.

2.8 Configure Developer Info

In the WeChat backend, add developer information. Copy the Token and Key provided by WeEngine into the WeChat "Basic Configuration".

2.9 Test

Once connected, test the integration to ensure everything is working smoothly.
