CloudPanel v1 is obsolete

CloudPanel v1 is obsolete; check out the CloudPanel v2 Docs.

On this page, we explain step by step how to setup WordPress 5 with CloudPanel.

Installation

In the following example we will setup WordPress under the domain www.domain.com.

Preparation

Before we can start with the installation, we need to create an SSH User, a Database, and a Domain.

When you Add the Domain, make sure to select the WordPress 5 Vhost Template and the right PHP Version.

Installation

To install WordPress do the following steps:

1. Login via SSH to the server e.g. with john-ssh and go to the users tmp directory:

cd ~/tmp

2. Download and extract the latest WordPress 5 version.

curl -sL https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz | tar xfz -

3. Move files to the htdocs directory of the domain:

cp -R wordpress/* /home/cloudpanel/htdocs/www.domain.com/

4. Reset permissions.

cd /home/cloudpanel/htdocs/

clpctl system:permissions:reset www.domain.com 775

5. Clean up the tmp directory.

rm -rf ~/tmp/*

6. Open your domain in the browser and go through the Installation Wizard.

7. Open the WordPress configuration file wp-config.php.

nano /home/cloudpanel/htdocs/www.domain.com/wp-config.php

Add the following line after the other constants to download all plugins and themes to the disk.

define('FS_METHOD','direct');

8. Done!
