I am trying to install Wordpress in the root directory however, when I try to open the initial page it is blank. Nothing happens. I have tried settings permissions to 777 and owner to web4:client2 but nothing works. It works fine if I install to .../web4/wordpress/ Any thoughts?
You are correct my bad. I am installing in web4/web. I have tried installing in web/wordpress and then moving, also installing direct in /web but nothing works. It would be easier if there was a simple way to change what is currently /wordpress to a hidden folder so it appears the folder is not present. . Thanks for replying btw...
Installing wordpress is really easy: cd /var/www/yourdomain.tld/web wget https://wordpress.org/latest.zip unzip latest.zip mv wordpress/* . chown -R web4:client1 * rmdir wordpress Replace group client1 with the client group of this website, you can see the user and group of the website on the options tab of the site. Then open your domain in the browser and follow the instructions of the installer. And do not do a chmod 777. This is insecure and not nescessary and it can cause your website to fail.
