In the part where you write the script after installing PHP, a couple corrections:

1.) The path should be /var/www/html/testphp.php

2.) The line of code has a superflous "php." It should only be <?php phpinfo(); ?>

Thanks! I've corrected that.

Not sure on the age of this tut, but a couple of changes I had to make:

change this bit to avoid having to enable the site for apache

cp -R ~/wordpress /var/www/html/wordpress

Add this bit so you can use your site (add/remove plugins and content)

sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/html/wordpress

http://*hostname*/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

it's only localhost if you are installing on a local server.

 

Otherwise, great tut. Till, you are the man.

Just a tip: Wordpress is not from 2013 but 2003, I guess it's a typo :-)

Thank You for sharing this awesome article, for a long time I was using shared hosting and this article helped me when there's any problem while installing WordPress.

Hey, this might be off topic, but where did you get the HTML template for the web site? Thank you!
