There are companies today that create websites only available from the business network. Many with the purpose of communicating with workers, or making available resources of the company. At least, in my environment, there are several companies that do it. And they use WordPress to deploy them. So, the utility of having it installed is maximum.

On the other hand, we may want a personal blog on our own server. Either in the cloud or we have the computer physically.

In any case, WordPress which is a CMS is a software that allows you to make websites or blogs quickly and easily. It also manages the publication and realization of page entries. The ability to customize is quite extensive and almost everything can be done without advanced knowledge of HTML or CSS. In fact, most websites are designed with WordPress. This is where their potential lies.

So, let us install WordPress on CentOS, RHEL and Oracle Linux 8.

1) Install LEMP on CentOS, RHEL and Oracle Linux 8

In order to install WordPress, it is first necessary to have a ready and functional web server. In this case, we have opted for Nginx so we will have to have a LEMP server.

But it is not a problem, because we have done a complete tutorial to install LEMP on CentOS, RHEL and Oracle Linux 8.

Read How to install LEMP on CentOS 8, RHEL 8 and Oracle Linux 8?

You just have to pay attention to have these PHP modules installed

:~# dnf install php php-fpm php-common php-mysqlnd php-gd php-xml php-mbstring php-xml

Once you have the LEMP server up and running, move on.

2) Create a new database user for WordPress

WordPress requires a database manager to store everything that is happening on the site. But not only that but other things more.

For security reasons, it is advisable to create a new user and database dedicated to WordPress. Then, go to the MariaDB console and type.

:~# mysql -u root -p

> CREATE DATABASE wordpressdb;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpressdb.* TO 'wordpressuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpresspss';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> exit;

Of course, you can define the names you want.

3) Install WordPress on CentOS, RHEL and Oracle Linux (I)

Now we can install WordPress on CentOS / RHEL / Oracle Linux 8. To do this, first, you have to download it using wget. If you do not have it installed, you have to do it first.

:~# cd /tmp/
:~# wget -c https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Next, decompress the file.

:~# tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz

Now, you have to move the generated folder to /usr/share/nginx/html/. Then, set the right permissions to the folder.

:~# mv wordpress/ /usr/share/nginx/html/
:~# chown -R nginx:nginx /usr/share/nginx/html/
:~# chmod 755 -R /usr/share/nginx/html/

Then, restart Nginx.

:~# systemctl restart nginx

4) Install WordPress on CentOS, RHEL, Oracle Linux 8 (II)

Now, open your browser and go your server and complete the installation.

Now, type your DB credentials.

Now, we can start the installation.

Then, type the site information.

If everything went well, you will see the following screen.

Now, you can log in to admin your WordPress instance.

Then, you will see the WordPress dashboard.

And that’s it.

Conclusion

In this post, you learned how to install WordPress on CentOS, RHEL and Oracle Linux 8. This way you can deploy quality websites using a reliable web server like Nginx on a robust operating system like those of the Red Hat family. As you can see, the installation is not complicated.

The post Install WordPress (with Nginx) on CentOS 8 / RHEL 8 / Oracle Linux 8 appeared first on Linux Windows and android Tutorials.

LAMP vs LEMP is really Apache vs Nginx

Both software stacks, allow having a fully functional webserver. With this, you can develop and run web applications created with PHP. Obviously, if you install it on a server, they can be run from another computer on the network.

The components of LAMP are Linux – Apache – MySQL/MariaDB – PHP. And they are exactly the same as in LEMP except that Nginx is preferred to Apache.

Also, you can read How to install the LAMP stack on Oracle Linux 8 / RHEL 8 / CentOS8?

Why should you?

Both web servers are very good. Too good. They are open-source, free and the user community provides good support. The detail is that Nginx performs better than Apache. Proven. However, it is less flexible in its configurations.

So let us get to work.

Install LEMP on RHEL 8, CentOS 8 and Oracle Linux 8

1) LEMP on RHEL and CentOS 8: Install Nginx

The first step is to install Nginx. So open a terminal session or connect to your server using SSH.

:~$ su
:~# dnf install nginx

Then you need to start the service.

:~# systemctl start nginx

It is a good idea to have it start with the system, so run this command:

:~# systemctl enable nginx

The next step is to open the ports in the Firewall so that we can use Nginx.

:~# firewall-cmd --add-port=80/tcp --permanent
success
:~# firewall-cmd --add-port=443/tcp --permanent
success
:~# firewall-cmd --reload
success

Finally, open your web browser and go to your server. http://server-ip/ you will see something like this:

So, Nginx is working.

2) Install and configure PHP

The next step is to install PHP. Both Oracle Linux and RHEL, as well as CentOS, come with PHP 7.2 in their official repositories. It is a good version to start working with. So what we have to do is install it along with some of its modules.

:~# dnf install php php-mysqlnd php-fpm php-opcache php-gd php-xml php-mbstring

Then, start and enable the php-fpm service.

:~# systemctl start php-fpm
:~# systemctl enable php-fpm

Once we have started the service, it is necessary to modify some settings to make it work with Nginx.

:~# nano /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

At the beginning of the file, look for the user and group parameters. You will find it with the value of apache, change it to nginx.

user = nginx
group = nginx

Then, look for the line that starts with “listen”. And verify that it is as follows.

listen = /run/php-fpm/www.sock

Then, reload the php-fpm service.

:~# systemctl restart php-fpm

Now it’s time to test PHP with Nginx.

Unlike Apache, the Nginx web directory in RHEL, CentOS and Oracle Linux 8 is /usr/share/nginx/html. Then, Nginx should be made the owner of that folder.

:~# chown -R nginx:nginx /usr/share/nginx/html

Then, create a new PHP file to test.

:~# nano /usr/share/nginx/html/test.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

After that, restart Nginx.

:~# systemctl restart nginx

Now, open the PHP file using your web browser. http://server-ip/test.php.

So everything is working.

3) Install MariaDB

MariaDB is a pretty good database manager. It is a MySQL fork and therefore compatible with it. It is one of the open-source values. So let us install it.

:~# dnf install mariadb-server

Then, start and enable the service.

:~# systemctl start mariadb
:~# systemctl enable mariadb

Now it is necessary to define a password for the root user. In addition to this, the installation must be secured. For this the mysql_secure_installation script is available.

:~# mysql_secure_installation

After defining the root password, you will be asked some configuration questions.

Remove anonymous users? Y
Disallow root login remotely? Y
Remove test database and access to it? Y
Reload privilege tables now? Y

Now, LEMP is complete.

Conclusion

The LEMP stack is widely used today because Nginx performs quite well with a lot of traffic. So it’s up to you to choose which one suits your needs.

The post How to install LEMP on CentOS 8, Oracle Linux 8 / RHEL 8 /? appeared first on Linux Windows and android Tutorials.

LEMP is a set of applications that together form a web server. It consists of a Linux distribution, Nginx as the web server, MariaDB as the database manager and PHP as interpreter language. As you can see, each component can be installed separately but together they make your computer with OpenSUSE or SUSE a very fast and reliable web server.

So, let us start to install LEMP on OpenSUSE 15 and SUSE 15.

Install Lemp on OpenSUSE 15 / 15.1

1. Install Nginx

First, you need to install Nginx.

Nginx is an HTTP server that is characterized for being fast, stable and with extraordinary handling of many petitions. This makes it the fastest in its area including surpassing a veteran like Apache.

Similarly, it is worth noting that it is open source and is available for most Linux distributions.

In this post, we show you how to install Nginx on OpenSUSE 15/ 15.1.

Nginx was recently acquired by F5 networks and you can also visit this post to find out about it.

2. Install PHP

PHP is one of the most used programming languages in the construction of web applications. So with it, we will be able to develop and execute many applications built for the web. So it is necessary to install it:

:~$ sudo zypper in php7 php7-mysql apache2-mod_php7 php7-fpm php7-gd php7-mbstring

Then, for PHP to work with Nginx it is necessary to make some extra settings to PHP-FPM. So let’s go for it.

First, you have to locate us in the php-fpm configuration folder. Then, copy your default configuration into the file where you are going to read the configuration. Then you have to edit it:

:~$ cd /etc/php7/fpm/
:~$ sudo cp php-fpm.conf.default php-fpm.conf
:~$ sudo nano php-fpm.conf

Next, find the “error_log” line and change it:

error_log = /var/log/php-fpm.log

Now, you can save the changes and close the file.

After that, you need to edit another configuration file. But first, you have to copy again.

:~$ sudo cp /etc/php7/cli/php.ini /etc/php7/fpm/

Then, edit it.

sudo nano /etc/php7/fpm/php.ini

So, find the cgi.fix line and change it:

cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

Next, save the changes and close the file. And copy the file to the configuration folder.

:~$ sudo cp /etc/php7/fpm/php.ini /etc/php7/conf.d/

Then, you need to configure nginx.

:~$ cd /etc/nginx/
:~$ sudo cp nginx.conf nginx.conf.backup

Next, edit the configuration file:

:~$ sudo nano nginx.conf

And make the following changes. Add index.php on line 48.

Save the changes and close the file.

After that, you need to enable and start the php-fpm service.

:~$ sudo cp /etc/php7/fpm/php-fpm.d/www.conf.default /etc/php7/fpm/php-fpm.d/www.conf
:~$ sudo systemctl enable php-fpm
:~$ sudo systemctl start php-fpm

Finally, test PHP.

To do it, you have to create a file on /srv/www/htdocs/ called test.php.

:~$ sudo nano /srv/www/htdocs/test.php

And add the following:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Next, reload Nginx.

:~$ sudo systemctl reload nginx

Finally, open your web browser and go to http://Your-server/test.php

So, Nginx and PHP are working.

3. Install MariaDB

The last step is to install MariaDB as a database manager and configure it to start.

:~$ sudo zypper in mariadb mariadb-tools mariadb-client

So, start and enable the service:

:~$ sudo systemctl enable mysql
:~$ sudo systemctl start mysql

Then, you have to set the root password and other configurations.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

Once you have defined the root password, you will be asked other configuration questions that you must read carefully and choose the answers that suit your case.

So, this is it.

Install Lemp on OpenSUSE 15: conclusion

Knowing how to install and configure LEMP in OpenSUSE 15 and SUSE 15 is quite simple. However, it is vital to start running PHP applications on OpenSUSE 15. It is also important if you are a developer and starts using the right tools.

Please share this post with your friends.

LEMP refers to a set of software that together provides a web server. The main difference with LAMP is that it replaces Apache with another HTTP server, usually Nginx. We have talked a lot about Nginx, and it is one of the most important applications for the web, where a large number of websites use it. The main features of Nginx are performance and scalability.

Install LEMP on Ubuntu 18.04

Install Ubuntu 18.04

If you have not yet installed Ubuntu 18.04 or do not know how to do it. Here is a tutorial for you to do it without problems.

Install Nginx

Now we can install the second component of LEMP. Nginx is a wonder as a web server. Its performance is enviable and that’s why it has become a formidable option to serve websites. Especially when these websites have a lot of traffic.

Nginx is in the official Ubuntu 18.04 repositories, so open a terminal and run.

:~$ sudo apt install nginx

And that’s enough. If you use a firewall like ufw, remember to enable ports 80 and 443.

Then open a web browser and access your server. You can do it by the IP address of the same or through the domain.

So, Nginx is properly installed.

Install PHP to work with Nginx

Now it’s PHP’s turn, so let’s install it together with php-fpm to work with Nginx.

:~$ sudo apt install php php-cli php-fpm php-mysql

After that, edit the php.ini file.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini

And change the following line:

;cgi.fix_pathinfo=1

To:

cgi.fix_pathinfo=0

Save and close the file. Next, restart php-fpm.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart php7.2-fpm

Now you have to make some changes to Nginx to make everything work well. So edit the following file:

:~$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

On the server section. Add index.php. And set the server_name to the server IP or the FQDN.

Then, scroll down to the location section and uncomment the include, fastcgi_pass, location, deny all lines. As in the image.

Save and close the file. Then, restart Nginx.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart nginx

Next, test PHP. To do it, create a new file .php and open it from the web browser.

:~$ sudo nano /var/www/html/test.php

And add the following.

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Finally, open it using the web browser.

Install MariaDB

Now we need to install MariaDB for this, we will use the version that is in the official repositories. So, let’s install it.

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

Then, configure it using the mysql_secure_installation script.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

With this script, you will be able to define the root password and other options. So read them and answer what your server needs.

And that’s it.

Conclusion

As you can see, installing LEMP on Ubuntu 18.04 is quite a simple process. With this, you will have a web server quite competent and specialized in websites with high traffic.
