Linux Ubuntu Website / Forum

[Joveice]

Please move it to the right forum if this is wrong

So i want to make a website / forum using a Mal or some "already done" site and host it on my Ubuntu server, iv heard about Wordpress but dident understand how that was used and last time i tryed php and Apache on my linux server it dident work and i used maby a week or so to find a tutorial that actually worked.

For most of the pre build web applications you need a http server like nginx or apache and a sql database like mySQL, to save your data to.
If you have them both running is just a matter of configuring. There is a detailed tutorial on the helpdesk for Wordpress.
Also FTP access makes it easier, to copy the install files to the server.

-> https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

 

For something like burning board it's pretty much the same requirements and very similar to install.

Oh ok, yea i have a mySQL server and FTP SSH and all that done, tho last time i installed Apache the site showed up, i tryed moving wordpress to it and then it just dissepeared.

So where can i find a tutorial for installing Apache that is known to work?

Normaly you just have to install it like 

sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc

and your document root for the website will be in:

̸ var̸ www̸ html
