How Do I Install WordPress on a Live Server?

If you’re reading this article, you’re probably looking for a way to install WordPress on a live server. And, while there are many different ways to do this, we’ll walk you through the process using the nginx web server.

First, you’ll need to make sure that you have the nginx web server installed on your server. You can install nginx using the following command:

sudo apt-get install nginx

Once nginx is installed, you’ll need to create a folder to store your WordPress files. We’ll call this folder wp-content.

Next, you’ll need to copy the wp-content folder to your live server. To do this, you can use the following command:

sudo cp -r wp-content /var/www/

Now, you’ll need to create a configuration file for nginx. We’ll call this file nginx.

conf. The file should look like the following:.

server { listen 80; server_name your-server-name; root /var/www/wp-content/; index index.php; }

The first line of the file will tell nginx to listen on port 80. The second line will tell nginx to route all requests to the your-server-name domain. The third line will tell nginx to store all WordPress files in the wp-content folder.

The fourth line will tell nginx to index the index.php file.

Finally, you’ll need to restart nginx to apply the changes:

sudo service nginx restart

Now, you’re ready to start installing WordPress on your live server. To do this, you’ll first need to download the WordPress installer.

You can download the installer from the WordPress website. Once you have the installer, you’ll need to copy it to the wp-content folder on your live server.

Next, you’ll need to start the WordPress installer. To do this, you can use the following command:

sudo ./wp-install.sh

The WordPress installer will start by asking you some questions. You’ll need to provide the name of your server, the name of the domain that you want to install WordPress on, and the username and password for the user account that is assigned to the domain.

Once the WordPress installer has finished asking questions, it will start to install WordPress. The installer will create a new folder called wp-content and will copy the files from the WordPress installer to this folder.

The WordPress installer will also create a database and a WordPress installation file. The installation file will be located in the wp-content folder.

The database will be located in the database directory.

The WordPress installer will also create a wp-config. The wp-config.php file will be located in the wp-content folder.

The wp-config.php file will contain the settings for the WordPress installation.

Once the WordPress installer has finished installing WordPress, it will ask you to activate the WordPress installation. To activate the WordPress installation, you’ll need to use the following command:

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql php5-cgi php5-fpm php5-xml

The php5-mysql, php5-cgi, php5-fpm, and php5-xml packages are required to activate the WordPress installation.

Now, you’re ready to start using WordPress on your live server. To do this, you can use the following command:

sudo php5-fpm start

The php5-fpm package will start the WordPressginx web server. The web server will be available at http://your-server-name.
