Great, thanks! Just a little tip for a better usability of your videos: When I hit stop to write a code into my own command line, the KZbin Play/Next/Volume buttons are on top of your active command line so I cant see the line anymore. Maybe you can add a little extra space in the video editing next time. :)

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Thanks for advising me on that!

[@ramsestatl5095]

Ok. İnstalled LAMP Server ? LAM server :) Where is this "P" Phpmyadmin :) Thanks bro. Good Job.

Hey Tony, I followed your instructions, when it came to creating mysql password, I get the following error. FAILED! ERROR: SET PASSWORD has no significance for user 'root'@'localhost' as authentication method used doesn't store authentication data in the MYSQL server. Please consider using ALTER USER instead if you want to change authentication parameters. - any ideas?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

I have never seen that error before. I unfortunately don't have any ideas on that

[@stonechild4713]

Hi Tony, There is no proper guide or video all over the internet about ** Staging a WordPress website ** hosted on VPS such as Digital Ocean, Linode, etc. Can you please make a video about how to do that and then push those changes made on the Staging website to the Live Website that would be very helpful and will definitely get tonnes of views.

noob Q: if you disallowed root login for Apache, does this mean i must adduser on ssh if using ssh? I was going to add/change that later. I have a brand new headless Pi4 server and Debian OS on a PC, if that affects anything.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Yeas add a user first before disabling root login

There is an issue while installing the apache2 service it is showing couldn't open the lock file and Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock

prepend the sudo command to the install command, that should make it run the install. I.E. "sudo apt install apache"

[@roger2bro]

Thank you very much for this video. Have watched but not tried the specific commands yet. Question -- I notice that you're installing as the root user. Do you know if it makes a difference if you're a regular user and just use sudo on all the `apt install ...` commands instead? UPDATE: i tried it and it doesn't seem to make a difference. The reason I asked this question is because I had noticed that the user and group on the files are all root:root which makes me nervous. I had seen a coworker system admin at another company have the user:group be something like nobody:nogroup. I'll search around for something on that either way. Thanks for getting me started.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Sure thing Roger. Thanks for the update. It's not ideal to use root, but better than nobody:nogroup

[@roger2bro]

Thanks. I did some more searching and everybody so far said to avoid both "root" and "nobody". Found some discussions like at stackoverflow and Ubuntu docs saying to run it as www-data with no other user being a member of that group. So I added the user/group and ran a chown -R after doing the install to make it be www-data.

where to get that ip address ??

[@TonyTeachesTech]

The IP address is the IP address of your server. If you don't have access to a server, you can create a virtual server. Check out the link to Digital Ocean in the description.

no else you need to work on localhost which is the virtual network
