Apache is a fast and secure web server and one of the most popular and widely used web server in the world.<\/p>\n<p>To install the Apache web server, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get install apache2<\/pre>\n<p>After the installation is complete, you should start and enable Apache to start automatically upon server reboot with:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start apache2\nsystemctl enable apache2<\/pre>\n<p>To check the status of your Apache server and make sure it is up and running, you can run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl status apache2<\/pre>\n<p>To verify that Apache is running, you can also open your web browser and enter your server IP address, (e.g. <strong>http:\/\/your_server_ip_address<\/strong>). If Apache is successfully installed you should see the Apache default welcome page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-the-MySQL-Database-server\"><\/span>Step 3: Install the MySQL Database server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The next step is to install the MySQL database server which will be used for the data storage of your WordPress site. MySQL is one of the most popular database management systems. To install MySQL on your system, execute the following command and press Y to continue:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get install mysql-server<\/pre>\n<p>During the installation, you will be asked to enter a password for the MySQL root user. Make sure you enter a strong password.<\/p>\n<p>In order to improve the security of your MySQL server, we recommend that you\u00a0<span style=\"background-color: #f5f6f5;\">run the <strong>mysql_secure_installation<\/strong> script<\/span>\u00a0by typing the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n<p>This script will help you to perform important security tasks like setting up a root password, disable remote root login, remove anonymous users etc.<\/p>\n<p>After you have answered all the questions you can now go ahead and start the database server and enable it to automatically start upon boot, with:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start mysql\nsystemctl enable mysql<\/pre>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-4-Install-PHP\"><\/span>Step 4: Install PHP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The last step of our LAMP stack setup is to install PHP. WordPress is a PHP based CMS, so we need PHP for processing the dynamic content of our WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p>We will also include some additional modules, in order to help PHP to connect with our Apache and MySQL, as well as some additional modules which will be required by our WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, type the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>apt-get install php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-mbstring php7.0-gd php7.0-xml php7.0-xmlrpc php7.0-intl php7.0-soap php7.0-zip<\/pre>\n<p>In order to test if PHP is working properly, we can place a file called <strong>info.php<\/strong> inside your Apache web server root directory (<strong>\/var\/www\/html\/<\/strong>).<br \/>\nYou can create the file with the nano text editor:<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/var\/www\/html\/info.php<\/pre>\n<p>Enter the following content inside the file and save it:<\/p>\n<pre>&lt;?php\nphpinfo();\n?&gt;<\/pre>\n<p>Finally, restart the Apache server by typing:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart apache2<\/pre>\n<p>When this is done, you can navigate to this page: <strong>http:\/\/your_server_ip_address\/info.php<\/strong> in your web browser, and you will see the following page showing your current PHP configuration (you can remove this file after you verify your PHP installation):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Install-WordPress-with-LAMP-Stack-on-Ubuntu-16.04.jpg\" alt=\"Install WordPress with LAMP Stack on Ubuntu 16.04\" width=\"742\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Install-WordPress-with-LAMP-Stack-on-Ubuntu-16.04.jpg 742w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Install-WordPress-with-LAMP-Stack-on-Ubuntu-16.04-150x98.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Install-WordPress-with-LAMP-Stack-on-Ubuntu-16.04-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That means PHP is working properly.

You are also encouraged to check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-secure-your-lamp-server\/\">How to Secure Your LAMP server<\/a> tutorial, for some additional tips and instructions on how to secure your LAMP stack.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-5-Install-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 5:\u00a0 Install WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can now move on to the WordPress installation. We will download and place the WordPress installation in the default web server document root directory (<strong>\/var\/www\/html<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s move to this directory with:<\/p>\n<pre>cd \/var\/www\/html<\/pre>\n<p>And download the latest WordPress installation from the official wordpress.org site with <strong>wget<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<pre>wget -c http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.tar.gz<\/pre>\n<p>Then, extract the file with:<\/p>\n<pre>tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz<\/pre>\n<p>All the WordPress files will be now placed in the <strong>wordpress<\/strong> directory in <strong>\/var\/www\/html\/wordpres<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We also need to set the correct permissions of this directory so our Apache web server can access these files. To give 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-6-Create-a-database-for-WordPress\"><\/span>Step 6: Create a database for WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now, we will create our MySQL database for our WordPress site. Login to your MySQL server with the following command and enter your MySQL root password:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>To create a new database for our WordPress installation, run the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre>CREATE DATABASE <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">wordpress_db<\/span>;\nGRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">wordpress_db<\/span>.* TO '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">wordpress_user<\/span>'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PASSWORD<\/span>';\nFLUSH PRIVILEGES;\nexit;<\/pre>\n<p>You can replace the database name (wordpress_db) and the MySQL user name (wordpreess_user) with your own names. Also, make sure to replace &#8220;PASSWORD&#8221; with an actual, strong password.<\/p>\n<p>Once the database is created, we will need to add 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 ** \/\/\n\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/\ndefine('DB_NAME', '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">wordpress_db<\/span>');\n\n\/** MySQL database username *\/\ndefine('DB_USER', '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">wordpress_user<\/span>');\n\n\/** MySQL database password *\/\ndefine('DB_PASSWORD', '<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">PASSWORD<\/span>');\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.

Let&#8217;s say we want to access our WordPress with the mydomain.com domain name.<\/p>\n<p>First, run the following command to create the virtual host configuration file :<\/p>\n<pre>nano \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/mydomain.com.conf<\/pre>\n<p>And add the following content to the file (you can replace <strong>mydomain.com<\/strong> with your actual domain name):<\/p>\n<pre>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;\n\nServerAdmin admin@mydomain.com\nServerName mydomain.com\nServerAlias www.mydomain.com\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\n\nErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/mydomain.com_error.log\nCustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}\/mydomain.com_access.log combined\n\n&lt;\/VirtualHost&gt;<\/pre>\n<p>To enable the virtual host we have just created, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>a2ensite mydomain.com.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Another alternative way to do this is by creating a symbolic link for your virtual host in <strong>\/etc\/apache2\/sites-enabled<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<pre>ln -s \/etc\/apache2\/sites-available\/mydomain.com.conf \/etc\/apache2\/sites-enabled\/<\/pre>\n<p>Once you enable the virtual host, using either of above methods, you will need to restart the Apache web server:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart apache2<\/pre>\n<p>If the DNS records are properly configured, and your domain is pointed to your server, you can use it to access your WordPress installation by typing <strong>http:\/\/mydomain.com<\/strong> in your browser and see the following screen:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
