WordPress on Nextweb

What you get

A WordPress site on Nextweb has its own copy of WordPress, its own database, its own PHP, and its own address. PHP and MariaDB come as Nextweb packages and live inside the Nextweb folder, so there's nothing to install on the machine first.

When the site is up, verify checks that its files and database settings are in place, then asks it for a page and expects WordPress back.

The WordPress package page lists the version this installs, its size and checksum, and the packages it brings in.

The whole session

From the first lesson. Each ... marks lines we cut, and your ports will be different.

Then open the Visit address in your browser. WordPress greets you with its own short setup: a language, a site title, a username, and a password.

Before you start

• It runs on Linux x64.
• Your site is served on your own machine. To take it public, you put a proxy such as nginx in front of it. Automatic HTTPS certificates aren't built yet.
• The free license covers three sites.
