how to install security patch in version 1.8.0

[arvind1221]

I got the message to install the patch. I downloaded the Patch file from here "https://www.magentocommerce.com/products/downloads/magento/". As of now I am working on localhost. I downloaded the file from there with '.sh' extension. I am trying to install it using cmd but hardluck. I got the Error Message:

Error! Some required system tools, that are utilized in this sh script, are not installed: Tool(s) "patch" is(are) missed, please install it(them).

Then I installed cygwin and tried to install it by using this, but still no luck. 

Then I got few links from where I can donwload the Patch zip files

http://magentary.com/kb/apply-supee-5344-and-supee-1533-without-ssh/

But I didn't get these zip files on Magento official site. Please let me know what should I do and how can I install the Patch.

Thank you,

Hello @arvind1221

First of all, the error you are getting because sh files needs patch software to run the command. You can install that using this command in linux.

yum install patch

Then run command sh command for the patch installation

You can follow our blog post for the simple ways of patch installation,

Error! Some required system tools, that are utilized in this sh script, are not installed:

Tool(s) "patch" is(are) missed, please install it(them).

patch is a command line utility that parses .patch files and applies the changes to the source code. Your Linux installation is missing the program patch and not the actual Magento patch...

Depending on your particular Linux distribution, you will have to use a package manager like rpm, apt-get, or yum to retrieve and install the patch software package.

If you are not running your own server or VPS, you probably will need to contact your hosting provider to have them install it for you.

Hello  @theMageComp

Thank you for the solution. But I want to let you know I am working on WAMP and it's Linux Based Command. I tried to run ".sh" on windows command line. Then I got the error which I mentiond in my first post. Then from google I got to know first I need to install cygwin and then install the ".sh" extensioin file. I did the same but no luck.

What should I do now...?

Thank you,

I crerated one php file and apply the below code in that file

<?php

print("<PRE>");
passthru("/bin/bash PATCH_SUPEE-5344_CE_1.8.0.0_v1-2015-02-10-08-10-38.sh");
print("</PRE>");
echo "Done";
?>

I Placed that file in the root of the folder and then execute it through the browser. But still didn't get the sucess. It was just displaying the Done Message on the screen...

I installed both the patches. After this I made a test on "http://magento.com/security-patch". It gives me an Error Message

"ERROR: I could not connect to that server. Please double-check for typos." Let me know whar should I do...?
