How to Setup WordPress on Your WordPress-VPS
Note : This tutorial is only for WordPress-VPS servers that already have:
- Apache MySQL PHP 8+
This VPS automatically downloads and installs the latest WordPress directly from the official WordPress website.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1 — Open the Installation URL
Find your VPS IP address.
Example: 192.168.1.2
Open your browser and type the following in the address bar:
http://192.168.1.2/install
Press Enter 🔹
Step 2 — Wait for Installation to Complete
Once you open the above link:
- The system will automatically:
- Download the latest version of WordPress.
- Extract it to the correct directory.
- Create the
wp-config.phpfile. - Connect it to your database.
- Clean up all setup files automatically for security.
You’ll see a success message when it’s done. ✅
Step 3 — Open Your WordPress Website
After installation is complete, open your IP in a browser:
http://192.168.1.2
You’ll see the WordPress setup page asking for:
- Site Title
- Admin Username
- Admin Password
- Admin Email
Fill in the details and click “Install WordPress”.
Step 4 — Login to Your WordPress Dashboard
After setup, go to your WordPress admin page:
http://192.168.1.2/wp-admin
Then enter the Username and Password you created in the previous step.
You’ll now be on your WordPress Dashboard! 🎉
Step 5 — Update Your Website Domain (Optional but Recommended)
If you have a domain name (like yourdomain.com):
- Make sure your domain’s DNS points to your VPS IP address (e.g.,
192.168.1.2). - In your WordPress dashboard:
- Go to Settings → General
- Change:
- WordPress Address (URL) →
https://yourdomain.com - Site Address (URL) →
https://yourdomain.com
- WordPress Address (URL) →
- Click Save Changes
⚠️ Important:
Your domain must be pointed to your VPS before updating the URL — otherwise, your website will stop working.
✅ Done!
Your WordPress site is now fully installed and ready to use.
You can start installing themes, plugins, and customizing your website.
