Additionally, replace &#8216;root&#8217; with the username of the admin account if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting, you have to make sure that all Ubuntu OS packages installed on the server are up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get update -y\napt-get upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-lemp-server\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-LEMP-Server\"><\/span>Step 2: Install LEMP Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress is written in PHP and uses MariaDB as a database backend. So LEMP server must be installed on your server. You can install nginx, MariaDB, PHP and all the required PHP extensions with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install nginx mariadb-server php php-curl php-mysql php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-soap php-xml php-xmlrpc php-zip php-fpm -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the LEMP server is installed, start the Nginx and MariaDB service with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl start nginx\nsystemctl start mariadb<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-create-a-wordpress-database\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Create-a-WordPress-Database\"><\/span>Step 3: Create a WordPress Database<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will need to create a database and user for WordPress. First, connect to the MariaDB shell with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mysql<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once connected, create a database and user using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">MariaDB [(none)]&gt; CREATE DATABASE wpdb;\nMariaDB [(none)]&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wpdb.* TO 'wpuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY  'securepassword';<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, flush the privileges and exit from the MariaDB with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">MariaDB [(none)]&gt; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\nMariaDB [(none)]&gt; EXIT;<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, MariaDB is installed and configured for WordPress. You can now proceed to install WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-4-download-wordpress\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Download-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 4: Download WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, change the directory to the Nginx default web root and download the latest version of WordPress with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd \/var\/www\/html\nwget http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the download is completed, extract the downloaded file with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, change the directory to wordpress and rename the sample configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd wordpress\nmv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, edit the configuration file and define your database settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano wp-config.php<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Change the following lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/\ndefine('DB_NAME', 'wpdb');\n\n\/** MySQL database username *\/\ndefine('DB_USER', 'wpuser');\n\n\/** MySQL database password *\/\ndefine('DB_PASSWORD', 'securepassword');\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save and close the file then set proper permission and ownership of the wordpress directory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are finished, you can proceed to configure Nginx to host WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-5-configure-nginx-for-wordpress\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Configure-Nginx-for-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 5: Configure Nginx for WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will need to create an Nginx virtual host configuration file to host your WordPress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nano \/etc\/nginx\/conf.d\/wp.conf<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the following lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">server {\n        listen 80;\n        root \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress;\n        index  index.php index.html index.htm;\n        server_name yourdomain.com;\n\n        error_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/yourdomain.com_error.log;\n        access_log \/var\/log\/nginx\/yourdomain.com_access.log;\n\n        client_max_body_size 100M;\n        location \/ {\n                try_files $uri $uri\/ \/index.php?$args;\n        }\n        location ~ \\.php$ {\n                include snippets\/fastcgi-php.conf;\n                fastcgi_pass unix:\/run\/php\/php7.4-fpm.sock;\n                fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;\n        }\n}\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save and close the file then verify the Nginx for any syntax error with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">nginx -t<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, restart the Nginx service to apply the configuration changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl restart nginx<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-6-access-wordpress\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-6-Access-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 6: Access WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, open your web browser and start the WordPress installation using the URL <code>http:\/\/yourdomain.com<\/code>.
