I thought for sure you would be showing us where to mine for raw metals and silicone. Then show us how to put in place a server infrastructure. I really hoped you would walk us through the process of programming a server OS, browser and text editor as well. But no! No! You had to make a sensible video.
Actually i can't stop laughing cause i was thinking his ganna show me a normal screen not computer language. I love it but i don't understand everything
Just for clarification, TTL stands for Time To Live, it's the maximum possible time a cached version of this record can be available for before it needs to be retrieved again from the authoritative servers (your domain nameservers). Note that caching nameservers (like that run with your ISP, shared ones like 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, and also the local cache DNS server on local ubuntu installs) do not call back after that time, it goes and retrieves once requested by a client requesting it from them, and then saves it to it's cache database.
Great video, thanks for sharing. One thing I noticed. After installing WordPress, I still got the default Apache page. I had to rm index.html to force the WordPress index.php to load instead. I was using Ubuntu server 18.04.3 LTS on a VM to test this out. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Thoroughly informative. I'm new to VPS and I'm keen to learn. But this is the second video I've seen that promotes WP. Can I not just use a regular HTML site on a VPS system?
I was hoping it would include SSL for a complete install. I don't do WordPress install so I am sure I don't know what I am talking about. But, why did the MySQL user get full access to all tables in the database? Would it not be better to only give that user permission to the table it needs? Only give it the least permission, not the most permission? Overall, I found this very informative and I enjoy your videos. I hope to see a video that goes over the SSL part of this site.
I love making videos, and always jump around a bit. Being in the field for 20 years, there is still so much to go over that I get bogged down with what videos to make. It helps me to just get on Patreon and just post all the ideas and see which ones everyone wants to see.
Chris Titus Tech that makes sense and is very true, i love doing stuff in the tech field i mostly do software developement and recently switched to linux because of your videos andd they made it a lot easier
I last week bought a domain with porkbun and set-up a email forward with then and changed my email identity within my email provider. So now if someone sends mail to myname@mydomain com it gets forwarded to my inbox, and if I send an email from my gmail, hotmail (or any email provider I choose in the future) it all looks like it comes from myname@mydomain com. I'm thinking of getting posteo, protonmail or hosting it in a vps or myself. (leaning to posteo) The best think is I can just keep giving and using the same address and noone will notice. I'm also linking the domain to the [username] github io repo on my github which displays a site if you put an index.html file in there.
I got a domainname as a birthday gift from my friends about 10 years ago. Still using it and actually hosting my own email server at home. Getting that to work properly (spf, DKIM) and securing it (spamassassin, clamav, fail2ban, spamcop/haus rbl, letsencrypt etc) has really tought me a lot. Using letsencrypt with the dns plugin to request both named host certificates and wildcard ones, can also be a good video subject I think...
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IDENTIFIED BY 'StrongP@55word'' at line 1 mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVIEGES ON db_name.* TO 'wpuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION; Does someone know how to fix this?
The commands changed in the latest version of MySQL and you can no longer create a user and a database in the same command. Use the two commands below. CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'wpuser'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
On FreeBSD, it is just 'sudo pkg install nextcloud-php73' then run through the setup process. I imagine it is something very similar on most linux distributions. Ubuntu has a snap package which makes it easier to install, but not necessarily easier to customise the installation afterwards.
Katrina Bryce sure it is simple but not been i Linux person a video would help. I did try an install on my hostgator and got it to work to a point but wouldn’t upload any big files. Saw Chris do this vid and new he has done next cloud before so fingers crossed. Thanks for advise
Chris. Thanks for the great video(s). This one’s just exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I can’t believe I’ve put off getting started with WordPress for about a year just because I didn’t quite know how to get started. Now, if I could just get you to pause a couple of seconds (on each of your videos) between the time you complete a command line in the terminal and when you press enter, I would be ecstatic. Thanks for all of your great videos, Chris. They are really appreciated.
To make it easier. Download the bitnami wordpress stack for win/linux. Build your site locally on your pc, then load Duplicator plugin and just upload your website to your server. This way you skip 80% of the terminal stuff in the vid. All your passwords and database will be automatically set for you after upload, and your site will work as normal.
So now I have all the info to DDOS your fake site! Just kidding (I don't condone illegal hacking). Great video Chris!!! I love wordpress so much, makes websites easy.
Interesting, I going to learn more about this, I have around 10 domains hosted on a VPS service and maybe Upcloud can do the job, but i have to see how much will be the cost
@@ChrisTitusTech Nothing wrong with free services that work well. I mean me and you (and probably most of us on the channel) are using mostly FOSS software
Chris I need some help choosing the vps provider because I was searching for reviews and found this funny website www. trustpilot.com and if you give a look it's like hell for vps provider's, I searched for linode, upcloud and digital ocean and it's so confusing. What should I do?
Hi. If a non-technical person planning to use a VPS for wordpress hosting, is there any control panels that comes with a VPS that can be used do all this?,,,thanks
The side of your screen is so big thus producing small font and screen compression so that everything you type is unreadable. Though you said you were going to do DNS you really only did a change on one record and skipped everything else. I rank your style and implementation lacking and realize it's a waste of my time. I rank this video sloppy at best
the price difference on these vps' are weird, the cheapest i can find in my country is around 57 $ a month and it only gives you a max of 1 gb ram xD 57$ for a vps ??? that can't be right can it ?
You also didn't install SSL which actually should be installed because the WordPress password could be stolen without it allowing a hacker to chang the website.
God godaddy was the best (i don't watch to much normal tv now so i dunno if they're still up to their old shenanigans) They lure you in with a sexy girl on girl cop scene, and the be like "oh btw are you interested in hosting some websites?"
Please be carefull with websites like upcloud. You get a 73 hour trial once is over you willl get charged for your website. Its ok if you have a real site but if you are following the tutorial its not good.
So I came here to see how to register a name for a website, all was going good until 2:24 when he jumps right in to managing a domain, that he already created...??? Confusing going to look elsewhere to see a simple step by step guide on how to register a website name
*You can also set up a website for free on AWS and AZURE 12 month free trial. And you get a variety of programming framework to developers on ...Django, PHP, NODEJS. .... including stacks like MEAN and LAMP stack....* 👍👍👍 😊
I used GoNaddy for years... until they went to shit about 10 yrs ago, they started by getting rid of email support. So now I'm just with google... well, the hosting kinda blows, but it's "free" and domains are $12.
Actually i can't stop laughing cause i was thinking his ganna show me a normal screen not computer language. I love it but i don't understand everything AHAHAHA
I think your webserver is not really secure. Remove rootlogin, add new user, disallow password access and use keys f.e. But anybody wants a basic site and mail better buy some cheapo shared hosting.
Bitnami , they have so many great pre-built stacks on this site. By running the file it completely installs and configures everything in 'snap' like fashion. You can get single/multi tier appliances , win/mac/linux appliances, Docker containers and VHD's that you can just spin-up in Vbox. After the install it will tell you what port your service is running on, you can make changes when accessing your appliance. www.bitnami.com ---> appliances ---> app catalog. wget bitnami.com/stack/wordpress/installer chmod +x wordpress_installer.run ./wordpress_installer.run Thats the extent of it + all of the domain/dns configs Chris does in the beginning of the video. Unless your hosting locally.
Thanks, Chris -- that video was super helpful, and interesting too. ... Could you make a video sometime that solves this problem -- We have put a Wordpress website on our VPS, and now we want to add a free SSL certificate, to make the site secure by https.
04:46 why not deploy a server and install some open source control panels, like vestacp for example and boom, everything just works kind of procedure??!! I think it would be great, kindly share your thoughts about it.
One thing that got left out when I followed the instructions was after installing wordpress to delete the index.html that apache uses in the /html directory. Thank you so much! I enjoyed getting my hands on the back end! Wait... What?
is it possible to have managed VPS services for all that you are doing Chris? Cause I suspect that on on incompatible updates many problems will occur! How do we overcome this?
Just curious, not trying to hate or anything, why not just use something like squarespace or wix? (Personally have used both, had a great experience with both)
Brilliant video exactly what I was looking for - but dont you get these services for free with hosts like Godaddy and dynadot? Also what would I need to do to switch to mongodb? Using json to so much easier and diverse as a database.
So far the best video I found here on YT, but I have a question. What's the process to install add a new domain and to install one more WP site on VPS or more? Thanks!
@ 6:46 you ping and the ip you entered comes up allot. I have followed what you have done and when I ping it displays a different ip I do not know about. idk
also for wordpress you are doing it the hard way just go to your domain/install/ and you can enter the database info there and install it and it will do the config for you
For those wondering how to get WordPress type "cd /var/www/html ", then do wget. Hopefully that helps. Figured some new people using putty will not know how to change directories.
Very cool to see how ro do so much from the terminal, I had some deeper experience with WP, including customizing my own themes, but have always done the setup from the GUI.
great video - i am trying to take notes on the video & when i press pause a red line blocks the bottom where the action is and it is difficult to follow -but it is great content - old tony
it worked - needed some help from both nameCheap & UpLoad - but the help was good - made notes carefully watching Chris's video & all worked well - Thanks Chris - Old tony
Nope it looks cool but this is more expensive and google is reseller. I won't go into Google part of this as well... Namecheap is far better. First year of name cheap us $1 for a .com that one is $12.
