Description
This is a simple guide for setting up WordPress with nginx on Debian 10.
- Make sure the system is up to date:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Install Nginx¶
- Install nginx:
sudo apt install nginx
- Start and enable nginx at boot:
sudo systemctl nginx enable sudo systemctl nginx start
Install PHP¶
- Install php-fpm and extensions:
sudo apt install php-fpm php-common php-gd php-getid3 php-mysql php7.3-cli php7.3-common php7.3-gd php7.3-json php7.3-mysql php7.3-opcache php7.3-readline
- Start and enable php-fpm:
sudo systemctl enable php7.3-fpm sudo systemctl start php7.3-fpm
Install MariaDB¶
- Install MariaDB:
sudo apt install mariadb-server mariadb-client
- Secure the database server:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
- NOTE: I had an issue logging in as root, to workaround this:
sudo systemctl stop mariadb sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking mysql -u root UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin = 'mysql_native_password' WHERE user = 'root' AND plugin = 'unix_socket'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; sudo kill -9 $(pgrep mysql) sudo systemctl start mariadb
- NOTE: I had an issue logging in as root, to workaround this:
Configure a new MySQL database¶
- Log into the MySQL console:
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
- Create the wordpressuser user with the SuperSecretPassword password and the wordpressdb database:
CREATE USER 'wordpressuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'SuperSecretPassword'; CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `wordpressdb` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `wordpressdb`.* TO 'wordpressuser'@'localhost'; flush privileges; exit
- Create the wordpressuser user with the SuperSecretPassword password and the wordpressdb database:
Install Wordpress¶
- Install git:
sudo apt install git
- Download wordpress:
cd /var/www sudo git clone -b 6.0-branch --depth=1 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress.git
- Create the nginx config:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/wordpress.conf
- And add the following:
server { listen 80; server_name wordpress-example.com; root /var/www/wordpress; index index.php index.html index.htm; client_max_body_size 122400m; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; } error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/local/www/nginx-dist; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; include fastcgi_params; } }
- And add the following:
- Change the wordpress ownership:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/WordPress/
- Restart nginx:
sudo systemctl nginx restart
