## Wordpress install script for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 server.

### Prerequisites
Ubuntu 22.04 or higher with Nginx Php-Fpm as well as MariaDB. Nginx with Php-Fpm can be installed from [\[Here\]](https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-web-server/nginx-install) and MariaDB can be install from [\[Here\]](https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-database-server/mariadb-install)

**Important:**\
This the script will only work if you installed Nginx using the script located [\[Here\]](https://git.x-files.dk//ubuntu-web-server/nginx-install)

### Download the script
```
git clone https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-web-application/wordpress-install.git
```

### Usage
    cd wordpress-install
    sudo ./wordpressinstall [-n] <domain name> [-d] <wp database name> [-u] <wp database user> [-p] <wp database pwd>

### Example
    sudo ./wordpressinstall -n wp.something.xyz -d wpdbname -u wpdbuser -p wpdbpassword

This will create a Wordpress site running on port 80 with the domain name you chose under the installation.
Don't worry though this can easily be fixed by modifying the Nginx configuration later.
If you need an example on how to configure Nginx to run this on port 443 I an example
[\[Here\]](https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-web-server/nginx-install/src/branch/main/cfg-apps/wordpress.443.conf)

### Configuration
Once the script is done browse to http://<i></i>wp.something.xyz/wp-admin/install.php and fill out the mandatory fields marked with green.

**Post install:**\
Nothing to do.

### Troubleshooting
Most issues will probably be caused by the fact that we all set up and configure Nginx diffrently. If you encounter problems I would suggest you look at the Nginx configuration I use 
[\[Here\]](https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-web-server/nginx-install/src/branch/main/cfg/nginx.conf)
and also the default "sites-enabled" Nginx configurarion I use 
[\[Here\]](https://git.x-files.dk/ubuntu-web-server/nginx-install/src/branch/main/cfg/default) 
when you start troubleshooting.
