WordPress and Nginx Setup Script

This script automates the process of installing WordPress and setting up an Nginx server block on an Ubuntu server. It checks for the presence of Nginx and installs it if necessary. The script then configures a new Nginx server block for your domain and installs WordPress.

Prerequisites

• An Ubuntu server (18.04 or later recommended).
• Root privileges on the server.
• Basic knowledge of terminal and command-line operations.

Installation

1. Log in to Your Server: Ensure you are logged into your Ubuntu server via SSH.

2. Download the Script: You can download the script using curl. For example:

   curl -fsSL https://kalpaservices.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/install.sh | sh -

3. Run the Script: Execute the script with root privileges. You will need to provide details like your domain, database user, password, etc.:

   sudo wpnix -d yourdomain.com -u dbuser -p dbpass -n dbname -H dbhost

Usage

The script accepts the following arguments:

• -d DOMAIN: The domain name for the WordPress site.
• -u DBUSER: The database username.
• -p DBPASS: The database password.
• -n DBNAME: The database name.
• -H DBHOST: The database host (usually localhost).

Example usage:

sudo wpnix -d example.com -u wordpressuser -p password -n wordpressdb -H localhost

If you're using a managed database service for example Digital Ocean that does not use the default 3306 port for MySQL, append your port to the DB Host. For example:

sudo wpnix -d example.com -u wordpressuser -p password -n wordpressdb -H managedb:25062

Features

• Checks for the presence of Nginx, Perl, PHP 8.2, and PHP 8.2-FPM, and installs them if not found.
• Sets up an Nginx server block for the specified domain.
• Sets up letsencrypt ssl for the specified domain.
• Installs the latest version of WordPress.
• Configures WordPress with the provided database details.

Important Notes

• Ensure that you have all the required database details before running the script.
• The script must be run as root or with sudo to perform necessary system modifications.
• It's recommended to use this script on a fresh Ubuntu installation to prevent any conflicts with existing configurations.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

• Check the syntax of the command and ensure all required arguments are provided.
• Verify that your user has root privileges.
• Ensure your server's package manager is functioning properly.
