How To Install WordPress with LAMP on Ubuntu 18.04

Introduction

WordPress is a popular content management system that allows users to easily create and manage websites. LAMP is an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, which are the components required to run WordPress.

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing WordPress with LAMP on Ubuntu 18.04.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial, you will need:

  • An Ubuntu 18.04 server
  • A sudo user

Step 1: Install Apache

Apache is a popular web server that is used to serve web content. To install Apache, run the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2

Once Apache is installed, you can verify that it is running by visiting your server's IP address in a web browser. You should see the Apache default page.

Step 2: Install MySQL

MySQL is a database management system that is used to store data for WordPress. To install MySQL, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL. Make sure to remember this password, as you will need it later.

Step 3: Install PHP

PHP is a programming language that is used to create dynamic web content. To install PHP, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

Once PHP is installed, you can create a PHP test page to verify that it is working properly. Create a new file called "info.php" in the /var/www/html directory with the following content:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save the file and navigate to http://your_server_ip/info.php in your web browser. You should see a page with information about your PHP installation.

Step 4: Create a MySQL Database and User for WordPress

Before we can install WordPress, we need to create a MySQL database and user for WordPress to use. Log in to the MySQL console with the following command:

sudo mysql

Once you are logged in, create a new database and user with the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
GRANT ALL ON wordpress.* TO 'wordpressuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Make sure to replace "password" with a strong, unique password.

Step 5: Download and Install WordPress

Now that we have all of the components installed and configured, we can download and install WordPress
