It is a software that can easily create a website
I want to make a blog website easily
When you want to create a content-focused website
When you want to make money by monetizing your Facebook Page like instant articles
If you want to make money with Google AdSense content, you can easily create a website with WordPress
WordPress can be hosted on shared hosting as well as VPS servers
What is the difference between Shared Hosting and VPS?
Shared Hosting is a place for VPS, Dedicated Server
You have to use it as you are given
The good news is that the VPS, Dedicated Server owner has User Panel software and useful software
Because he has already done everything to set up a server
You can use the class without having to do anything
You can easily install WordPress from GUI software like Cpanel
VPS Server is the software from Nginx, Php, Mysql, PhpMyAdmin to the OS.
You have to do the installation yourself and do by the setup yourself
In this post, I will install WordPress without installing them
I will tell you
What makes a VPS Server special is that you can create as many websites as you want on each server
That’s why we use VPS Server
First, login to your admin account from ssh
Then create a folder with the name of the website you want to create in / var / www / html
For example, if you want to create a website called test.phyochan.dev, create a folder with that name
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/shwenewsss.com
Now you have created a folderGo to that folder and download wordpress
cd /var/www/html/shwenewsss.com wget -c http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Then download wordpress latest and the file name will be latest.tar.gz
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
I will extract the fileOnce the file is extracted, it will contain the files in a large folder called wordpressSo let’s move the files
sudo mv wordpress/* /var/www/html/shwenewsss.com
Now all the files are in the test.shwenewsss.dev folderThis will give you Folder Permissions
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/shwenewss.com
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/shwenewss.com
Copy and paste this ConfEnter your domain in the server nameEnter your php-fpm version in the phpfpm fieldHere is the 8.0 update
server {
server_name ncero.xyz;
root /var/www/html/your website url;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
When you're done, save it
Then you need to make a symbolic link to the conf file from sites-available to sites-enabled.
sudo In -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/your domain.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Whenn you done and restart Nginx
In the Database Name field, type the name of the database you created
Username, Password is the Database user name password
Database Host should be localhost only
When done, click Submit
In the Site Title field, enter your site name
Username and Password are for wordpress admin
Give it a try
