How to Host Multiple WordPress Websites on One Server with Nginx 

This was super helpful, thank you! I like that you leave your little stumbles in the video too, makes you come across as very likable and approachable :) Subscribed!

Man you're such a great teacher, thank you for the clear explaination and nice clear step by step demo.

I thought Superman was only in a movie, you just proved we have a living Superman - I found you now! thank you!

GREAT video! Thank you so much!

Thanks for a great tutorial. I'm just starting to explore nginx and this is very useful. In case you don't know, the problem you had with vim not replacing all instances of 'site2' in site3.xyz.conf is probably due to you using search and replace the same way copying site1.xyz.conf to site2.xyz.conf. The way you wrote it, it only changes the first instance on a line. That's why you had a 'site1' left over. To replace all instances, use the global tag: ':%s/site1/site2/g' That error got carried over to site3.xyz.conf. You fixed that but you may still have the original error in site2.xyz.conf if you haven't already fixed it.

Following the idea of this video, I would love to watch another video from you giving a deeper explanation about how you configured nginx and mysql =)

Thanks for this!

Thank you Tony!

Hi Tony, can we connect a cpanel like hestia with the oracle free tier? I’m using a mac but i can’t seem to understand how to generate a private key from the ssh using terminal putty gen command. Would you be able to do a video tutorial on this?

Well done!

you stumbled for writing privileges... i loved that... and on that tone.. subscribed

Hi Tony, thanks a lot, I'm beginner but I love this possibility ! I would love to help friends and host their WP websites. Would it be more efficient to use dockers for each new website to deploy ? and for the ssl also ? Thanks

Hi Tony, thanks for this great video, after following the steps and at the point of having the WP installation starts, the setup screen is not showing instead I have a pop-up asking me to download the install.php file. Note that, the first site is working with no issue, the second one is having this issue (I have only 2 sites) any help on this? Thanks

Tony, can this procedure be applied to say hmm different type of site, say one site is WP, then I have web app in python+ django. Or is this exclusively for WP sites only?

Hi, 很高興在你的頻道上學了很多知識, 謝謝你, 看了你的 BLOG 歡迎你到台灣來旅遊.

😃 Thank you so much! Really helpful. Would you please consider in future videos that involve a CLI, placing your monitor feed to the top right of the video so that we can see the whole command you enter? It's blocked when your monitor feed is in the lower right.

Hello Tony, I'd like to see how Nginx and WordPress can be installed on an UnRaid server via docker? I've been searching for ways of getting this done but found no real step by steps tutorials.

Tony I have a question, I have configured multiple sites in this way. How do I install an SMTP server in this machine which can server all of these sites.

Hi Tony, I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on using this approach (linode) to host wp sites than other web hosters such as siteground, bluehost and the myriad of others? One cheapest server could be $5/mo on linode but for siteground at least, my yearly cost comes to $300ish. In my understanding, I could save a lot just by doing this approach. Thanks!

Hi Tony, does nginx root have to be var/www since i was trying to point the root to /home/username/website_01 and it doesn't load the page?

Tony, can you please make a video on how to pull down an application from git on new Vultr server?

I use virtualmin as free cPanel alternative with Nginx. Using this we can manage multiple sites, mails and all features of a control panel.

Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question. I already installed a wordpress using the WordPress Application on a Vultr vps, and I was trying to add another wordpress site to the same server. By 8'57" of the video, after I typed "/etc/nginx# cd sites-available/", the terminal told me "No such file or directory" . I suddently don't know what to do. Should I create a directory? Any help is appreciated!

Tony, god day, how can we get rid of the extra /wordpress/ directory?\

Hi Tony. You know whenever you doing videos and you are using the terminal, I suggest that you keep the terminal a bit up. Because when I pause the video to see the command. the RU-vid bar comes up and blocks the view. To understand better watch this video and then pause the video at 10:23 and you will know what I am talking about. By the way great tutorial videos. keep it up.

Hey Tony, I'm almost done setting up my two websites on each their raspberry pi on the same public ip using your guidance so far. First site and server runs fine when port forward routed on the router, I routed that to the second site, messed around with reverse proxy/load balancing, trying to redirect access to 1st site server, but suddenly site 2 would load a result. Now both sites are setup with wordpress, but I just cannot figure out how to route the connection from site 2 to site 1. They each have their own specific domain address

Tony, você me salvou, obrigado pela ajuda, estava com muitos problemas aqui, sou brasileiro e nao achei nenhum video aqui para me ajudar!! ============================================================== Tony, you saved me, thanks for the help, I was having a lot of problems here, i`m brasilian e nao achei nenhum video aqui para me ajudar!!

how did you get the conf file for site 1 & 2 directly on the sites-available directory. I only have the default one there. Can I copy that with a new name for my website

How do i host different website using the domainname but different ports ? one is port 80 another is port 5080 ?

5:09 But if i want to use my normal user and not root, How can we do?

May I ask if I build sites by Docker with different WordPress container, and use Nginx to direct to different port # in VPS, is there any difference between this and your way?

Hi Tony ,How to install Wordpress on docker compose and using Nginx web server. Please advice thank you so much.

Hey Tony, great video! Followed all of the steps to a T, but I'm getting a Bad Gateway error. Any easy fix for that? Thanks!

your nginx video is really fantastic..i love your work.. but also,, could you do this on podman container with specific port..that'll be good to know

sir, may you tell me about Nginx and caddy webserver which is better I should use for my web hosting?

so every site needs its own WP? not something like, a vim for all users?

Just to share an issue I had when getting a 403 Forbidden error. The autoindex module didn't seem to be working which apparently allows Nginx to generate and serve an index of the files and directories within a given directory if an index file (like index.html or index.php) is not present. Without this module, Nginx will return a "403 Forbidden" error when it is asked to serve a directory without an index file. So to fix this I just added the following line in my .conf file 'index index.php index.html index.htm;' after the server_name line. Hope this helps someone

Great video! So how do you transfer files from hard drive into the nginx environment? Would rsync work in this case?

How would I get a Node.js App and Wordpress running on Ubuntu Digital Ocean?

Great video .. a small glitch in 9:30 where the conf file contained site2 by mistake which needs to be changed to site2 as well. Still a great video

Do I have to install phpmyadmin separately for each individual WordPress...?

do you have video on how to install cloudpanel?

so if I run a multiple website on one web server it will means all website I link in on my web server is shared on the capacity of the web server storage disk? I hope you understand what I mean... Couse I was now good in English... thank you so much for sharing informative video tutorial!!! I love it!!!

Is there any benefit of serving Wordpress with Docker? Or does Nginx has to be dockerized then as well? PS. Thanks a lot for this very useful video by the way :)

What kind of language is used to get these this..? How can i learn what to type and do this..?

Thanks for the video. How many websites can I host under a VPS doing this? Is this like "messing with the server" or its how it's supposed to do it? I am new to this and I am moving from Cloud Server to VPS

thank you a lot that's a valuable lesson for me, just have 1 question, i do everything as you did step by step, but i have a 403 error forbidden, i google it and it seems like to be that nginx doesnt found an index.php file, but is there inside my wordpress directory hummmmm so iam still looking for that thank you again :D

I get "Error establishing a database connection". I can assure that the mysql db, user, and password not wrong. anybody has experienced this?

hi tony, thx for you tutorial, but i have question iI followed your tutorial and missed nothing but I run into my website 403 Not Found nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu) maybe you can give info why it happened i placed the file in /var/www/html/mydomain.tld conf file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/mydomain.tld.conf then i link ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/mydomain.tld.my.id.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

This would be a top notch tutorial and educational video if it was complete. But there is no SSL here, theres no mention of the loss of encryption between the proxy and the site and how to do this in production not local development

How can I do this using docker containers and nginx proxy?

You forgot to put the global option '/g' on the substitute command in vim that's why 'site1' wasn't changed :)

Salt keys are nothing but a secure way of encrypting logged in sessions.

I have permission acces problem You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Same video but in "non-nerd" would be great

Amazing. Are you human? 😁 thanks

use open windows we are not all coders stressed!!

Title is misleading. Should say how to add another website to a previously hosted server using Nginx. All you did is copy and paste what you had in the server already.
