\"install<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’ve already installed LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)<\/a> or LNMP in Ubuntu Server, now it’s time to install wordpress on Ubuntu and get your site running!<\/p>\n

WordPress is a popular blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. It\u2019s free and open-source. In the steps below the lines that the user needs to enter or customize will be in red<\/span> in this tutorial!<\/p>\n

1. Create MySQL Database and User for WordPress<\/h3>\n

If you’re using LAMP<\/b>, install PhpMyAdmin<\/b> to get a graphical way setting your MySQL Database.<\/p>\n

To install PhpMyAdmin, run command below in Ubuntu server:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin<\/pre>\n
Choose apache2<\/b> webserver while the installing process and say NO<\/b> to “Configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common?”<\/p>\n
Once installed, run commands below to get it working:<\/p>\n
sudo sh -c 'echo \"Include \/etc\/phpmyadmin\/apache.conf\" >> \/etc\/apache2\/apache2.conf' && sudo service apache2 restart<\/pre>\n
Now, go to http:\/\/UBUNTUSERVERIP\/phpmyadmin\/<\/u> in your client’s browser and type in root<\/b> and the password you set when MySQL was installed to login.<\/p>\n
\"phpmyadmin<\/a>
phpmyadmin login<\/p><\/div>\n
Follow the steps below to create Database<\/b> and user<\/b>:<\/p>\n
Step 1 – Click on Users<\/b> then click Add User<\/b>.
\nStep 2 – Type in your desired User name<\/b> (wordpress is a good one) and ensure Use text field<\/b> is selected. Ensure Host<\/b> is set to Local<\/b> from the drop down list and the text box will change to localhost<\/b> and enter a Password<\/b> and then confirm it in the Re-type<\/b> box. Ensure the Password Use text field is also selected.
\nStep 3 – Click on Create database with same name and grant all priviliges.<\/b>
\nStep 4 – Click on Go<\/b>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\"phpmyadmin<\/a>
phpmyadmin create user and database<\/p><\/div>\n
If you’re using LNMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP)<\/b>, follow the steps below to create user & database (both are wordpress<\/span> in commands below).<\/p>\n
Step 1 – Run command in Ubuntu Server to log into MySQL Shell with MySQL root password:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n
Step 2 – Create database, here I named it wordpress:<\/p>\n
CREATE DATABASE wordpress;<\/span><\/pre>\n
Step 3 – Create a new user also named wordpress:<\/p>\n
CREATE USER wordpress<\/span>@localhost;<\/pre>\n
Step 4 – Set a password for this user:<\/p>\n
SET PASSWORD FOR wordpress<\/span>@localhost= PASSWORD(\"12345678<\/span>\");<\/pre>\n
Step 5 – Grant all privileges to the new user:<\/p>\n
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress<\/span>.* TO wordpress<\/span>@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '12345678<\/span>';<\/pre>\n
Step 6 – Refresh MySQL:<\/p>\n
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/pre>\n
Exit MySQL shell:<\/p>\n
exit<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
2. Download WordPress<\/h3>\n
On Ubuntu Server, run command below to download the latest wordpress package from its official site:<\/p>\n
cd && wget http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.tar.gz<\/pre>\n
Then uncompress it via command below:<\/p>\n
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz <\/pre>\n
3. Setup WordPress Configuration<\/h3>\n
First copy the sample wordpress configuration file into a new config file:<\/p>\n
cd && cp wordpress\/wp-config-sample.php wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/pre>\n
Then edit the file with command below:<\/p>\n
vi wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/pre>\n
Find the section that contains the field below and substitute in the correct name for your database, username, and password:<\/p>\n
\/\/ ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** \/\/
\n\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/
\ndefine(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress<\/span>‘);<\/p>\n
\/** MySQL database username *\/
\ndefine(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress<\/span>‘);<\/p>\n
\/** MySQL database password *\/
\ndefine(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘12345678<\/span>‘);<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Press i<\/b> to start editing, and Esc<\/b> to end editing. Finally press Shift+:<\/b> followed by wq<\/b> and Enter to save and exit the file.<\/p>\n
4 Copy the files<\/h3>\n
Now move WordPress files to webserver root directory:<\/p>\n
For LAMP:<\/p>\n
cd && sudo rsync -avP wordpress\/ \/var\/www\/<\/pre>\n
For LNMP:<\/p>\n
cd && sudo rsync -avP wordpress\/ \/usr\/share\/nginx\/html\/<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Give ownership of the directory to the apache\/nginx user:<\/p>\n
cd \/var\/www\/  ###For nginx: cd \/usr\/share\/nginx\/html\/\n\nsudo chown www-data:www-data * -R \n\nsudo usermod -a -G www-data www-data<\/pre>\n
5. Install WordPress:<\/h3>\n
Now in your client’s web browser go to http:\/\/UBUNTUSERVERIP\/wp-admin\/install.php<\/u> and install your wordpress site:<\/p>\n
\"installing<\/a>
installing wordpress<\/p><\/div>\n
Once done, if you still get “It Works!” Apache page. Run command below to edit dir.conf:<\/p>\n
sudo vi \/etc\/apache2\/mods-enabled\/dir.conf<\/pre>\n
You will see a line of index files (index.html, index.php, index.cgi, etc) under the DirectoryIndex setting. Add index.php<\/b> as the first item in the list.<\/p>\n
After that, restart Apache server by:<\/p>\n
sudo service apache2 restart<\/pre>\n
Now you can access your new website:<\/p>\n
