Hi there,
You could follow the steps from this video on how to host multiple WordPress websites on the same server with Apache Virtual Hosts:
Essentially, what needs to happen is:
wget
command:wget wordpress.org/latest.zip
unzip latest.zip
/var/www/
folder:mv wordpress /var/www/your_site.com
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/your_site.com
sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/your_site.conf
sudo a2ensite
sudo apachectl -t
Syntax OK
reload Apache:sudo systemctl reload apache2
mysql
Then run the following queries:
CREATE DATABASE wp_site;
CREATE USER 'wp_site'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'use_secure_password_here';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wp_site.* TO 'wp_site'@'%' WITH GREANT OPTION;
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
This may get you to where your trying to go:
The guide you mentioned is no more working. Can anyone put any working tutorial for the same? I’m trying to host https://theblackfriday.website along with one of my new blog. Any help will be highly appreciated.
