This installation should help you learn how to run multiple WordPress instances under the same domain or subdomain name. This can be useful in some cases, such as running several blogs without having to use separate domain names for each one or having a test blog where you can dry-run changes to plugins and stylesheets without risking anything on your production website.

We are going to download and place the WordPress installation in the default web server document root directory (<strong>\/var\/www\/html<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Now you should move to this directory with:<\/p>\n<pre>cd \/var\/www\/html<\/pre>\n<p>then download the latest WordPress installation from the official wordpress.org site with <strong>wget<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<pre>wget -c http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.zip<\/pre>\n<p>after that you should extract the file with:<\/p>\n<pre>unzip latest.zip<\/pre>\n<p>All the WordPress files would be now placed in the <strong>wordpress<\/strong> directory in <strong>\/var\/www\/html\/wordpress .<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We should also set the correct permissions of this directory so our Apache web server can access these files. In order to grant ownership of the WordPress files to our Apache web server, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-How-to-Create-a-Database-for-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 2: How to Create a Database for WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, we are going to create our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/mysql-show-users\/\">MySQL database<\/a> for our WordPress site. First, you should do is to log in to your MySQL server with the following command and enter your MySQL root password:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>Then to create a new database for our WordPress installation, run the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre>CREATE DATABASE wordpress_db;\r\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress_db.* TO 'wordpress_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PASSWORD<\/span>';\r\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\r\nexit;<\/pre>\n<p>The database name (wordpress_db) and the MySQL username (wordpress_user) can be replaced with your own names. You need to change \u201c<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PASSWORD<\/span>\u201d with an actual, strong password.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the database creation is done, we need to attach this information to the WordPress configuration file.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you are inside the <strong>\/var\/www\/html\/wordpress<\/strong> directory and run the following command to rename the sample configuration file:<\/p>\n<pre>mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php<\/pre>\n<p>Now open the <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file with your favourite text editor, for example:<\/p>\n<pre>nano wp-config.php<\/pre>\n<p>And update the database settings, replacing <strong><em>database_name_here<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>username_here<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>password_here<\/em><\/strong> with your own details:<\/p>\n<pre>\/\/ ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** \/\/\r\n\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/\r\ndefine('DB_NAME', 'wordpress_db');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL database username *\/\r\ndefine('DB_USER', 'wordpress_user');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL database password *\/\r\ndefine('DB_PASSWORD', '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PASSWORD<\/span>');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL hostname *\/\r\ndefine('DB_HOST', 'localhost');\r\n\r\n\/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. *\/\r\ndefine('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');\r\n\r\n\/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. *\/\r\ndefine('DB_COLLATE', '');<\/pre>\n<p>You need to save and then exit the file.<\/p>\n<p>Next, what you need to do is to restart your Apache and MySQL server with:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart apache2\r\nsystemctl restart mysql<\/pre>\n<p>When you finish that, you can now enter your WordPress instance and finish the installation by following the on-screen instructions in your browser at <strong>http:\/\/your_server_ip_address\/wordpress<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Create-a-Subdirectory-under-the-Root-Domain-Name\"><\/span>Step 3: Create a Subdirectory under the Root Domain Name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, you need to create a subdirectory or folder under your domain root directory. That will be the place where you will put the new WordPress files.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are logged in, you need to move to the root folder of your website. Usually it is the <strong>\/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\u00a0<\/strong>folder. If you already have WordPress placed in the root folder, then you should be able to see your WordPress files and subfolders there.<\/p>\n<p>It is good to pay more attention by selecting the name for your subdirectory.\u00a0 It will be a segment of your new WordPress site\u2019s URL and what your users will type in their browsers to get to this website.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you choose to title this directory &#8220;blog&#8221;, then your WordPress website\u2019s address will be:<\/p>\n<pre>http:\/\/<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">your_domain.com<\/span>\/blog\/<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"-Step-4-Enabling-Multisite-mode\"><\/span>\u00a0Step 4: Enabling Multisite mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To enable Multisite mode, you need to edit the parent instance&#8217;s configuration file, like so:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/pre>\n<p>Once opened\u00a0with our editor, we have to\u00a0locate the line that says:<\/p>\n<pre>\/* That's all, stop editing!
