What is a good open source ecommerce package?

Question

Here are my requirements:

1. Needs to run on a lightweight open source web app framework.
2. Must be open source.
3. Needs to be able to run in a clustered server environment.

Answer 1

There are loads of Open Source ecommerce frameworks.

We have successfully used Apache OFBiz which is java-based. Easy to install and get in action. But there is a bit of a learning curve if you want to modify the Product Model and add custom fields. This definitely can run on a clustered set of app servers like Tomcat, Weblogic.

Magento, oscommerce are leaders in the PHP space but I havent used either - so not sure if those fit all your reqts
