How to set up Wordpress with LEMP on Ubuntu 20.04

Hi there @wrknight,

Yes, the setup and the configuration files are quite the same indeed.

I could suggest following the steps from this tutorial here on how to set up your LEMP stack on Ubuntu 20.04:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-20-04

After that, you could copy your Nginx configuration files from your old server to the new one along with your WordPress files and database and it should work as normal on the new system.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby

Database access error solved. It appears that the instructions I followed (above) do not work for the version 10.3 of mariadb. After creating the database with

CREATE DATABASE wordpress;

it is necessary to create a user with

CREATE USER ‘me’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED WITH ‘mypswd’;

then

GRANT ALL ON wordpress TO ‘me’@‘localhost’;

This appears to be a recent change as I did not have to do that with mariadb 10.1 and it was not necessary with mysql 5.7.
