To install WordPress with LEMP on Ubuntu 24.04, follow the steps below:
Step 1 : Install LEMP Stack
If you haven't installed the LEMP stack yet, follow the guide in the article Ubuntu 24.04 Guides.
Step 2 : Create Database
- Log in to MySQL:
sudo mysql
- Create a new MySQL user and database:
CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wpuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Step 3 : Download and Install WordPress
- Create a directory for your WordPress installation:
mkdir /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io
- Change directory to the new directory:
cd /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io
- Download WordPress:
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
- Extract the downloaded file:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
- Move WordPress files to the root directory:
mv wordpress/* .
- Adjust permissions:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io
Step 4 : Create a new Nginx server block configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.devtutorial.io
- Add the following configuration (replace example.devtutorial.io with your domain):
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.devtutorial.io;
root /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
error_log /var/log/nginx/example.com_error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com_access.log;
}
- Save and close the file.
Step 5 : Enable the Nginx server block:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.devtutorial.io /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Step 6 : Test the Nginx configuration and restart Nginx:
sudo nginx -t
sudo systemctl restart nginx
Step 7 : Open your browser and navigate to your domain to install WordPress:
