Comments on How to install Wordpress 4 on Ubuntu 14.04 LAMP

This document describes how to install and configure Wordpress 4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04. WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. This tutorial explains the process of installing Wordpress 4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 in the form of a simple-to-follow guide.

Great tutorial - worked perfectly!

Found a minor error that caused me some confusion though:

"chown -R :www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads" 

 should read without the colon (:)

 "chown -R www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads"

Great Tutorial... the only problem was that it installed into a subfolder (wordpress) of my webserver.  I had to go back and redo it so that it was in the root of the webserver.  Other than that it worked perfectly.... thanks!!

Hi

I used a server pilot app for wordpress through Vultr vps. The problem is if you want to migrate an existing installation. How to I unpack the zip file. I could do a migration but it took about 25 minutes uploading every single folder and file through  file zilla. Any suggestions how I could use ubuntu 14.04 on my vps to unzip the wordpress files and folders.

Many thanks Ben
