Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello. I am running VestaCP 1.0.0-6 on CentOS 6.10. It has been installed for several years, auto update is enabled, and I do not touch it because it is stable and always works. My customer sent me the following request. How do I figure out if I meet the WP requirements? Thanks, Kevin.



I’m interested in running the open-source WordPress <https://wordpress.org/> web software and I was wondering if my account supported the following:

PHP 7.4 or greater
MySQL 5.7 or greater OR MariaDB 10.4 or greater
Nginx or Apache with mod_rewrite module
HTTPS support
Thanks!

Hey,

Check compatibility with WordPress, start by checking your PHP and MySQL versions.

For WordPress, you'll need:

PHP version 7.4 or greater
MySQL version 5.7+ or MariaDB version 10.4+.
Make sure your web server either Apache or Nginx is set up with HTTPS support. If you're using Apache, ensure the mod_rewrite module is enabled. For Nginx, verify that your configuration includes the try_files directive to handle URL rewriting, which is essential for WordPress's permalinks.

A gentle reminder: Upgrading components like VestaCP, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, or your web server can be complex and may impact other sites hosted on your server. Always back up your data before making such changes.

If you have any doubts or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
