These instructions were tested on a clean Ubuntu 16.04LTS machine set up on DigitalOcean. All commands assumed to be executed by root.

If you already have a WordPress instance ready, and you just want to install the plugin and try it out, you can skip to the Install D-Magazine section below.

Prerequisites

  • apt-get update
  • curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
  • apt-get install software-properties-common git nodejs
  • npm install -g npm
  • npm install -g bower gulp-cli

Install Nginx + PHP7

  • apt-get install nginx php7.0-fpm
  • service nginx start

Now, point your web browser your server ( e.g. http://127.0.0.1/ ), and you should see the infamous "Welcome to nginx!" message.

Configure Nginx

touch /etc/nginx/sites-available/bfmagazine. Inside that file, write:

server {
  listen 80;
  listen [::]:80;

  server_name _; # replace the underscore with a domain name, or leave it as a catch-all

  root /var/www/bfmagazine;
  index index.php;

  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
  }

  location ~ \.php$ {
   include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
   fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
  }

  location ~ /\.ht {
   deny all;
  }
}

Then, apply the new server configuration and reload nginx:

  • cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
  • rm default
  • ln -s ../sites-available/bfmagazine
  • service nginx reload

Verify PHP7 and nginx like each other

  • cd /var/www
  • mkdir bfmagazine && cd bfmagazine
  • echo '<?=phpinfo()?>' > bfmagazine/info.php

Now, browse to that file on your server ( e.g. http://127.0.0.1/info.php ), and you should see the infamous phpinfo.

After this, we don't need this file anymore: rm info.php.

Install MariaDB (MySQL-compatible open-licensed alternative)

(installation instructions taken from: https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/)

  • add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://mariadb.nethub.com.hk/repo/10.1/ubuntu xenial main'
  • apt-get update
  • apt-get install mariadb-server
  • mysql_secure_installation and press Y on every question asked
  • service mysql start

Configure MariaDB

  • MariaDB> CREATE DATABASE bfmagazine;
  • MariaDB> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bfmagazine.* TO "username"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "password";
  • MariaDB> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
  • MariaDB> EXIT

Install WP-CLI

  • curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
  • chmod +x wp-cli.phar
  • mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp
