ok so do this

cd /var/log/ee
ls -l

there is nothing there?

perroud · March 23, 2017, 9:08am

sudo ee stack restart;

Shigaev · March 23, 2017, 9:15am

Not works…

 cd /var/log/ee
-bash: cd: /var/log/ee: Permission denied

or

sudo cd /var/log/ee
sudo: cd: command not found

perroud · March 23, 2017, 9:20am

only cd. not sudo cd

Shigaev · March 23, 2017, 9:21am

sudo ee stack restart; …nothing changed

perroud · March 23, 2017, 9:23am

Setting permissions

Then restart all your services, please.

If needed, remove all +x from your .php files:

sudo find /var/www -type f -name "*.php" -exec chmod -x {} \;

and

ee stack remove wpcli; ee stack install wpcli;

Shigaev · March 23, 2017, 9:58am

What did you mean? Reboot VPS?

 sudo ee stack remove wpcli; sudo ee stack install wpcli;
usage: ee stack (command) [options]
ee: error: unrecognized arguments: wpcli
usage: ee stack (command) [options]
ee: error: unrecognized arguments: wpcli

ashishdungdung · March 23, 2017, 10:12am

Did your problem got solved ?

perroud · March 23, 2017, 10:16am

ee stack remove --wpcli;

ee stack install --wpcli;

Restart your services provided by EE, not restart machine.

Shigaev · March 23, 2017, 10:25am

sudo ee stack restart
PHP7.0-FPM is not installed
Restart : nginx     [OK]
Restart : php5.6-fpm[OK]
Restart : mysql     [OK]
Restart : postfix   [OK]

But still nothing…

So, about logs:

 cd /var/log/ee
-bash: cd: /var/log/ee: Permission denied

What did I do wrong? Why is there no access? How we can see the log?

perroud · March 23, 2017, 10:38am

With EE WP installation, your wp-config.php should be located parent directory. /var/www/yoursite.com/wp-config.php

wcat · March 23, 2017, 10:44am

Your user does not have permissions. Do sudo su cd /var/log/ee or sudo tail -n 100 -f /var/log/ee/ee.log

Shigaev · March 23, 2017, 10:53am

omg… I have not folder “mysite.com” in /var/www/… I can see only - “22222”, “example.com” and “html”.

So, log by path “sudo tail -n 100 -f /var/log/ee/ee.log:”

You shouldn’t have that example.com. Maybe you just pasted the setup command which has example.com as placeholder.

Not knowing what you have done so far it may be easier to start fresh. Is this a droplet on digital ocean?

All you should have to do is

wget -qO ee rt.cx/ee && sudo bash ee

Then copy and paste the command to add ee commands to your path. ee will remind you to do it after it installs itself. Do all of this as your normal user not root.

You can further setup ee defaults like default username/password/email in sudo nano /etc/ee/ee.conf Though not required it will make life easier when installing new sites.

Then I would do sudo ee stack install --web followed by. sudo ee site create NAMEOFYOURDOMAIN.com --wp --wpredis --php7

Once you get into Wordpress enable redis plugin and make sure nginx-helper plugin is enabled(it should be)

After that I usually

So that I can use Atom editor or Sublime as www-data.

Now you do not have to use redis or php7 and it may not be best for someone new to ee to worry about flushing the cache if you edit php files but that configuration works best for me.

Hope I helped a little

edit: I bet if you change the hosts file on your local machine and point example.com to your server you have on hell of a nice install of wordpress running Just sudo ee site delete example.com

Shigaev · March 23, 2017, 3:08pm

wow… thank you! I suspect you’re right, but I can not remember - where I broke the instructions … Now, of course, I need a fresh install. I would be careful.

But first, I want to ask: do I need some steps to configure DO’s Ubuntu before installation? Except the creation of the superuser.

Shigaev · March 23, 2017, 4:58pm

Thank you all! It was an important experience for me. Now everything works. I really did not specify the site name in the command)))))

/solved

wcat · March 23, 2017, 8:55pm

Just set you hostname as a fqdn. For example mail.example.com or webserver.example.com. You also may want to enable swap on your droplet. Digital ocean frowns on it as it wears out their SSD’s, but I would and do setup a 1 gig swap. They don’t encourage it, it is allowed and worth it as a backup just incase it is needed.

I also setup fail2ban on server and use https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fail2ban/

There is another tutorial that rtcamp put out that I folow…Here it is. https://easyengine.io/tutorials/linux/sysctl-conf/

Look through all of those tutorials, Rahul’s tutorials have taught me so much over the years.

I also use ufw to manage iptables but thats about it for webserver. Also setting up ssl with easyengine is dead simple so now that your site is up you can use letsencrypt and set tls up on your site.

Best of luck

Shigaev · March 24, 2017, 1:50pm

Many thanks for the advice! You saved a ton of time for me, really. Especially (as a newbie), I find useful examples of settings for optimizing servers.

By the way, I immediately created a swap file (1GB) for my Droplet, right after it was created. Because I always did this in every Windows installation ))))
