    Hi there! We can give you a link to a tutorial that will explain how to set it up in detail. What image did you choose? (CentOS, Ubuntu or something else?)

    If you are willing to spend $14 extra every month I highly recommend installing CPanel on your server. The installation is simple and will save you a lot of time.

    CPanel offers a 15 day trial license, you may want to try that before deciding whether to purchase or not.

    cPanel is a convenient application that allows users to administer servers through a GUI interface instead of the traditional command line. Although the installation for cPanel is relatively simple, the script does take several hours to run. Here's how to install cPanel on a virtual server running Centos 6

    WordPress: I can't get custom post tyle permalinks to work
    I can sort of get "pretty permalinks" to work properly but my custom post type entries do not have the appropriate prefix in the URL. In fact they don't seem to be treated like custom post type entries at all.

    please helpp

    i added in
    /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file AllowOverride All but not working

  • jesin November 9, 2014

    In the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file where did you add AllowOverride All? It should be within the following:

    <Directory /var/www/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
</Directory>

    Did you do a config test and reload Apache?

    sudo apachectl -t
sudo service apache2 reload

@levan100: Check out How To Install Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack on Ubuntu 14.04 | DigitalOcean. This tutorial will guide you through installing a webserver (Apache), PHP, and MySQL.

Once you've done that, you will need to create a MySQL user and database for your application, see How To Create a New User and Grant Permissions in MySQL | DigitalOcean.
You'll probably want to install phpMyAdmin too: How To Install and Secure phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 14.04 | DigitalOcean.

To transfer your application's files to your droplet, you should use SFTP which is more secure than FTP: How To Use Filezilla to Transfer and Manage Files Securely on your VPS | DigitalOcean. The files should go in /var/www/html.

You've chosen an unmanaged vps provider, it is your responsibility to configure and install the services that you want yourself. There are lots of tutorials and guides online, and in the community section of this site.
