In this blog post, we will cover the topic of fully automated installation of WordPress on OVH dedicated server. We will cover all the steps to get fully working OVH WordPress<\/strong> application without any issues using only 1 hand, while you can drink tea with another one.<\/p>\n We will use our custom developed installer WordPress OVH<\/strong> to spin up and configure the ready-to-go dedicated server with a WordPress application.<\/p>\n Besides WordPress installations, our tool, which is called ServerFactory<\/strong>, is able to deploy various applications like Magento, OpenCart, PrestaShop, etc.<\/p>\n To spin up the server, configure it and install your application on it with SF, you will need:<\/p>\n – To have access to your “Dedicated Server”; Let’s go step by step and figure out how to accomplish our task!<\/p>\n 1) To start the registration process you need to follow the link<\/a> and register there<\/p>\n This is a standard operation, everything is simple: 2) The next step is to bind your server provider to the SF account:<\/p>\n – Go to the tab “Server Provider<\/strong>“, in the upper left of the screen;<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n – Choose one of the three proposed server providers (choose the server provider which you have access to); In our example, we\u2019re using Dedicated Server for OVH\u00a0Wordpress<\/strong> installation.<\/p>\n – After entering all the necessary data and adding controller SSH key to your server, press the “Save<\/strong>” button:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As you can see, our Dedicated Server is now attached to ServerFactory and we’re able to proceed with our OVH WordPress<\/strong> installation.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 3) The next step is – create a cluster: <\/a><\/p>\n – Name your cluster; <\/a><\/p>\n Wait few minutes, until the cluster installation is complete. Time for some tasty tea or coffee, right?)<\/p>\n 1) So, first of all you need to create a database:<\/p>\n – In the “Actions<\/strong>” column, click the “View<\/strong>” button. (You will enter on your cluster\u2019s info page);<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In this menu, you can see information about your cluster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n – On the left side of the screen, click the “Databases<\/strong>” button;<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n – Name your database and click the “Create database<\/strong>” button;<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n – Also in the “Databases<\/strong>” menu, you can create a \u201cDatabase Users<\/strong>\u201d: <\/a><\/p>\n We’ll tell you about SSH \/ FTP users creation<\/strong> at the end of this\u00a0blog post. These actions can be performed at the end of the installation of your application.<\/p>\n – All you need to do is to point your domain to your server<\/strong>. You can do it with the help of CloudFlare<\/strong> or any other DNS registrars.<\/p>\n 1) After the DNS has been successfully pointed, go to your cluster:<\/p>\n – Click on the “Clusters<\/strong>” button \u21d2 “View<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n 2) Go to the “Applications<\/strong>” tab, to create the application;<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n – Fill in all the fields and click the check box if you want to install Letsencrypt SSL<\/strong>. That’s done automatically and LE certificates are free for 90 days, so you should keep an eye on the expiration date of your certificate.<\/p>\n Indeed, users that are using our proactive server management<\/a> do not have such issues, because our monitoring system detects expired or problematic SSL certificate and our guys will renew it and fix issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n – Click the “Create App<\/strong>” button;<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Wait until your application is installed. We don’t think that by that time you’ve already finished the cup of tea \/ coffee you prepared while you server was being configured, so you can just chill on this step. But if you do – you can definitely go and get yourself another one!<\/p>\n 3) Go to the domain that you just created and check how OVH WordPress<\/strong> application works.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n 1) Creating SSH \/ FTP users. (This item can be executed in any order.<\/em>):<\/p>\n – Go to the “SSH \/ FTP users<\/strong>” tab;<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n – To create an FTP user, you need to enter all the necessary information and click on the “Create User<\/strong>” button.<\/p>\n
\n–\u00a0On your server should be installed Ubuntu 16.04.<\/p>\nRegistration and cluster creation<\/h2>\n
\n–\u00a0Specify your email account;
\n– Create a password;
\n– Receive an email and follow the link to complete the registration.<\/p>\n
\n– Press the \u201cConnect<\/strong>\u201d button;<\/p>\n
\n– At the top right of the screen, press the “ADD<\/strong>” button \u21d2 Cluster;<\/p>\n
\n– Choose the provider on which your WordPress OVH<\/strong> cluster will be located;
\n– Choose the version of your database;
\n– After all the lines are filled, click the \u201cSave\u201d button;<\/p>\nPreparing to OVH WordPress application<\/b><\/h2>\n
\n– Enter a username, create a password and attach it to the existing database.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>2) So, the next step is creation of a domain name for your WordPress OVH<\/strong> setup.<\/p>\nCreation of your application<\/h2>\n
Creating SSH \/ FTP users<\/h2>\n
