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.php file.
    • 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):

  1. Make sure your domain’s DNS points to your VPS IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.2).
  2. In your WordPress dashboard:
    • Go to Settings → General
    • Change:
      • WordPress Address (URL)https://yourdomain.com
      • Site Address (URL)https://yourdomain.com
    • 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.
