How to install WordPress with Nginx on an Amazon AWS EC2

Whenever I have to do this I find myself doing a lot of research to find processes that work, I will try to keep perfecting this article but in the meantime here we go…

This guide assumes that you have already set up an EC2 instance running an Ubuntu operating system.

Before installing any software, it’s a good idea to update your server’s package lists. You can do this by logging into your server and running the following command:

Nginx can be installed with the following command:

WordPress uses MySQL to manage its data. You can install MySQL with the following command:

During the installation process, you’ll be asked to set a password for the MySQL root user.

WordPress is a PHP application, so you’ll need to install PHP and the PHP-FPM service, which Nginx uses to handle PHP requests:

Next, you’ll need to configure Nginx to work with PHP. Open the default Nginx configuration file using a text editor like nano:

Then, add the following location ~ \.php$ block inside the server block:

Make sure to replace “7.4” with your actual PHP version.

Save and close the file. Test Nginx configuration and if everything is OK, restart the Nginx service:

Log in to MySQL:

Create a database for WordPress:

Create a new MySQL user and give it access to your WordPress database:

Make sure to replace ‘password’ with a strong, secure password.

Then, flush the privileges and exit out of MySQL:

Now, you can download and install WordPress. First, navigate to the /tmp directory and download the compressed WordPress file:

Unzip the file and move it into your Nginx document root:

WordPress needs access to the wp-config.php configuration file. This file doesn’t exist by default, but you can create it by copying from a sample file:

Open the new file in a text editor:

Again, replace ‘password’ with the password you created for your MySQL user.

Save and close the file.

Finally, complete the installation through the web interface. In a web browser, navigate to your server’s IP address or domain name:

You should see the WordPress setup page. Follow the prompts to select your language, choose a name for your site, and set up an admin user.

That’s it! You now have a WordPress site running on your AWS EC2 instance with Nginx. Please note that you might need to configure your AWS security groups to allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic to your instance.

You’re facing issues with uploading images or attachments, it might be necessary to modify the permissions for the ‘wp-content’ folder and its files. This will also ensure appropriate security against unsanctioned access. Here’s how to go about it:

This step is optional. You might be experiencing issues with uploading plugins via /wp-admin/ due to a password requirement. If you wish to disable this requirement, you can proceed as follows:
