How to install WordPress in Vesta Control Panel

Muhammad Hashim

Recently I wrote a step by step guide for How to install Vesta Control Panel in CentOS 6 and How to do basic setup and add a website/domain in Vesta Control Panel. Now I am going to guide you how to install WordPress on VPS with Vesta Control Panel. This guide is very easy and short. I personally like Vesta Panel because of its simplicity and snappiness. Although it lacks some of the main features like File Manager, but it is a Good alternative to CPanel.

The VPS I am using is running CentOS 6.5 (64-bit) if you are curious. but it should work on all Linux distributions supported by Vesta Control Panel which are CentOS and Debian.

Installing WordPress in Vesta Control Panel

  1. Login to you VPS using SSH/Putty as ‘root’.

  2. Install nano installer by executing the following command, If you already have nano editor installed, Skip to next step.
    yum -y install nano
  3. Navigate to public_html folder of the domain in which you want to install wordpress. If you haven’t added any domain yet, here is a guide stating how to add a domain in Vesta Control Panel. The public_html folder is in the following directory
    /home/UserName/web/YourDomain/public_html/
    Change the “UserName” with your username of Vesta Panel and “YourDomain” with the domain you on which you want wordpress

  7. This step is optional, after moving all files from wordpress folder, there would be an empty folder named as “wordpress”. you can leave this foder or remove this by executing the following command.
    rmdir wordpress
  8. Vesta Control panel itself adds a index.html file in public_html folder of every new domain, It is recommended that you remove that index.html file by executing the following command
    rm index.html
