I have a wordpress website in localhost and a hosting plan with a domain name on Bluehost.com
My website is ready and now I wanted to go live and push my website to hosting server using Git. But in Bluehost C-panel there is no git option.
I have searched google but did not succeed to find a solution, so I came here if somebody could redirect to me to a tutorial link or give me some clues on how to do it i would be very grateful.
If you have VPS or Dedicated server on bluehost, try this manual from Bluehost FAQ:
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/2383
Pretty sure, that you must manually import database (as it not included to git and can't upload automatically in mysql) and configure again wp-config.php. Also you don't say, what server you using with localhost, cause it can be different from bluehost config (for example apache / nginx / php version).

I hired a developer to stand up my website. I had already created a WordPress install on AWS lightsail. The developer says he needs cpanel in order to finish the work (header/footer code, configuration etc...). I was hoping to do this as cheaply as possible and it seems like cpanel would add $15 a month. Is it really needed? Any alternatives?
Looked at AWS docs on alternatives but didn't find anything.
cPanel is a hosting control panel to manage a website and server. It seems that you have already hosted and configured your server without cPanel. For developers, they should be able to manage and customize your website using FTP and WordPress admin details and it does not require from Development point of view.
Even if you are planning to add cPanel to your server, you will have to reinstall your server from scratch because cPanel requires a fresh server without any software, data or website.
Can you please help me. I have a hosting server and I only have FTP access. There is OAK cms installed at the hosting machine WWW directory and this old CMS is hosting a page in production.
I would like to ask what is the proper way to install Wordpress to this machine without shut down the old webpage. Should I install WordPress to a subdirectory? If yes, then how can I forward all the request to the new subdirectory? unfortunately
I don't have access to the DNS server to modify it.
Thank you!
Hi, I am trying to install a WordPress in a subdirectory
"domain.com/wordpres". But I don't know anything about Amazon Web
Server. I tried youtube and google. but they only show that how to
install WordPress on AWS. nothing more in deep detail.
Please help me, if anyone knows how to install WordPress on a subdirectory of my domain on the AWS server, or suggest me any proper post/tutorial.
Thanks.
like say the guys, you need install wordpress normally.
First your need connect with your instance, this is a virtual server, the ssh protocol is commonly used.
I recommend read the documentation.
For linux instance: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstances.html
For Windows instance: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/connecting_to_windows_instance.html
Second step is install your web server normally, LAMP or WAMP depending your instance, i recommend apache, mysql or MariaDB and the last version of php, but exist a lot web servers softwares for your choice. If you have not a experiencie read this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html
Finally your need download the need version of wordpress, edit config file (wp-config.php) and run.
If you have not a experiencie read this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/hosting-wordpress.html
Note: If you need "domain.com/wordpress" is possible with VirtualHost in apache.
Documentation: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html
is there any localhost CPanel like app/software that we can install wordpress?
because I would like to teach on how to install wordpress in CPanel just using localhost setup so we can avoid damaging our host CPanel.
Many thanks :)
You can install WordPress in any subdomain or sub directory on your website to avoid any main host damage. As a result, you do not need to setup any local environment for testing purpose.
Nowadays, most of the hosting providers offer one click installation tool [like Fantastico, Softaculous etc..,] in cPanel from where you can install WordPress in a minute.
I installed a Wordpress website with the wordpress Docker image, and then installed my themes. All works well, but when I want to update Wordpress later on, I get this message:
To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host.
The Wordpress container is not running an FTP server on the web root. How could I solve this problem?
PS: I have my web root in a data container, shared among different containers.
PS2: I am planning on storing several Wordpress websites in the same host. Is there also a solution that is compatible with this?
The key is to make sure your web server is the owner of the directory WordPress is installed in (and its sub-directories). You're seeing an error because your web server doesn't have the proper privileges to write to your directories.
I recommend running a chown -R user:group /path/to/wordpress, substituting the user and group with your server's info.
