Can't access WordPress on LEMP after following tutorial exactly. Tried both building LEMP manually and using 1-click LEMP app.

Wow, ok, I found the problem. The 1-click LEMP app also installs Apache2, and after installing php7.2-gd and running apt upgrade Apache takes over port 80 and if you reboot your server Nginx will not start. I don’t know why Apache is installed with the 1-click LEMP but it would be nice if the docs would warn you because this was painful!

After starting from scratch one more time with 1-click LEMP app and then installing WordPress, I think my problem was simply clearing my web browser cache. I’m not sure what I did wrong the first time, but thank you! I do have one question about the file you mentioned though. After several times through the process, I combined all the steps into a single template (before installing SSL certificates):

server { listen 80; root /var/www/example.com/html; index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html; server_name example.com www.example.com;

location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; }
location = /robots.txt { log_not_found off; access_log off; allow all; }
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
	expires max;
	log_not_found off;
}

location / {
	# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
	try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
	include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
	fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
}

location ~ /\.ht {
	deny all;
}

} I used this to install WordPress for 3 domains, used CertBot to install certificates and had all 3 working until I logged into my terminal and it said ‘system restart required’ and after rebooting I cannot start Nginx. Sudo nginx -t says ‘ok’ and ‘successful’ but error log says: [emerg] 3840#0: bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use) Any ideas?

Hello.

Shall I know what’s inside

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com

Thanks!
