Installing WordPress 5 with Nginx on Debian 10 Buster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Run system update<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
apt update\napt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Install LAMP Stack on Debian 10 Buster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In order to run WordPress, you need to have either LEMP or LAMP stack installed already. You use LEMP stack if you want to run WordPress 5 with Nginx. If you want to use Apache, you need to use LAMP stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To install LEMP stack on Debian 10 Buster, follow the link below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Install LEMP Stack on Debian 10 Buster<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create WordPress Database and User<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This guide uses MariaDB 10 for WordPress Database. If you need to use MySQL 8, see the link below on how to install MySQL 8 on Debian 10 Buster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Install MySQL 8 on Debian 10 Buster<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Login to your database server and create  WordPress database and a privileged database user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mysql -u root -p<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
create database kifarunixdemo;\ncreate user demouser@localhost identified by 'Str0nGPassword';\ngrant all privileges on kifarunixdemo.* to demouser@localhost;\nflush privileges;\nquit<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Install Extra PHP Extensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While installing LEMP stack as in the link above, a few PHP modules were installed. To install other required php extensions, execute the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
apt install php-curl php-gd php-intl php-mbstring php-soap php-xml php-xmlrpc php-zip<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Configure Nginx<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While configuring LEMP stack, you might have created an Nginx configuration file for your site. However, for the purposes of this demo, we are going to create a demo configuration file under, \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/<\/strong> as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
vim \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/kifarunix-demo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, put the content below on the configuration file. Besure to make appropriate adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
server {\n\tlisten 80;\n\troot \/var\/www\/html\/kifarunix-demo;\n\tserver_name kifarunix-demo.com;\n\n\tlocation \/ {\n\t    index\tindex.php index.html;\n\t    try_files\t$uri $uri\/ \/index.php?$args;\n\t}\t\n\n\tlocation ~ \\.php$ {\n\t\tinclude snippets\/fastcgi-php.conf;\n\t\tfastcgi_pass unix:\/run\/php\/php7.3-fpm.sock;\n\t\tfastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;\n\t}\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Save the configuration file and enable you site configuration by creating a symbolic link to the enabled sites directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ln -s \/etc\/nginx\/sites-available\/kifarunix-demo \/etc\/nginx\/sites-enabled\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Verify Nginx configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nginx -t<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
nginx: the configuration file \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf syntax is ok\nnginx: configuration file \/etc\/nginx\/nginx.conf test is successful<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Reload Nginx<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl reload nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Download WordPress 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Download the latest WordPress archive by running the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget https:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.tar.gz -P \/tmp<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once the download is done, extract WordPress to your web root directory, \/var\/www\/html\/kifarunix-demo<\/strong>, in this demo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mkdir \/var\/www\/html\/kifarunix-demo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
tar xzf \/tmp\/latest.tar.gz --strip-components=1 -C \/var\/www\/html\/kifarunix-demo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Configure WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Copy the sample WordPress configuration file and rename it as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cp \/var\/www\/html\/kifarunix-demo\/wp-config{-sample,}.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, you need to set the database connection settings and authentication keys and Salts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The database connection details (database, database user and password) are created above while configuring the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Authentication Keys and Salts can be generated by running the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
curl -s https:\/\/api.wordpress.org\/secret-key\/1.1\/salt\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
define('AUTH_KEY',         '|WYo279FcL.j_ G$DOn;TXsH\/wP=[$[1i^+~`|;!w|!KIa1$R5`D,0<V5prPa;m4');\ndefine('SECURE_AUTH_KEY',  'ojU%olj}N`1<DgV_F?P=Xrc[z|j*TH@Ll+.Xh>=V|FM*K`@C^RWSPv{V.\/k){s ]');\ndefine('LOGGED_IN_KEY',    't[8x41+V0D>_jO4=#g*u{o|?Hy_$A(u?@-`0G5R6-n$i;Q=u!8+:0tT\/5:Q=8<Vg');\ndefine('NONCE_KEY',        'z}yPWE]g=uo1Ex0rPS3S~kQ1A#.yBHi5W h^P)i}>;_[P`Zx,B%d5}.{q>ZPMmLu');\ndefine('AUTH_SALT',        'MA) ~|J?G!X)uI+k@yT(*mUZBWsQiNPS]*^x-<cp+DYA=J:N]7O+t_rU(^)@+kqv');\ndefine('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'Zjl&O}$qz|f(sRSe%ZT*@SkCg.`Sm\/e0Z\/CEW<|vRwOl}qbR!nzA-D>X%eKGcV2E');\ndefine('LOGGED_IN_SALT',   'GBp!7=U*T~#-%Ly?FnS$qgYEzGnX1w3!Bo_ ]$o]EDj{wh,fe1NJK9VkI_n ;hTD');\ndefine('NONCE_SALT',       'fdTm,$h?vjzLS(yMKj!rR]0aZ*f(Q(\/t|cS|;o)%{GqCK4IxG-+fyL_Yan~ns4XF');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Do NOT copy the Keys above<\/strong>. Be sure to use your own unique keys and salts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hence, open the WordPress configuration file and edit it as shown below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
vim \/var\/www\/html\/kifarunix-demo\/wp-config.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
...\n\/\/ ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** \/\/\n\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/\ndefine( 'DB_NAME', 'kifarunixdemo' );\n\n\/** MySQL database username *\/\ndefine( 'DB_USER', 'demouser' );\n\n\/** MySQL database password *\/\ndefine( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'Str0nGPassword' );\n\n\/** MySQL hostname *\/\ndefine( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );\n\n\/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. *\/\ndefine( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8' );\n\n\/** The Database Collate type.

Replace this;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save the configuration and quit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WordPress configuration files should be owned the Web Server user. In this guide, we are using the default web server user, www-data<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/kifarunix-demo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
