In the last line, we have the admin user name. Make sure you have got it right.
Remove the index.html file and your wordpress will be up and running.
rm /var/www/example.com/public_html/index.html
Do the configuration. Change the “admin” user to something else. You will be saved from many brute force attacks.
In Apache, there’s something called .htaccess file, where you can define site specific settings like – caching of static files, handling 404, rewriting URL etc.
I have created a .htaccess file that is suitable for wordpress and ensures site produces properly cached static files and handles 404 properly. You can get the file content here:
It also makes WordPress support extensionless URL for posts.
Copy the raw content and then create a .htaccess file in the public_html folder and paste it:
nano .htaccess
Right click on nano and the content will be pasted. Ctrl X Y ENTER out of nano.
Make sure your wordpress site is still running. If not, then you have incorrectly copied .htaccess file content.
You should install the following plugins:
Just copy and paste these names into the search box while adding new plugin.
Apachetop is an awesome tool that shows you traffic hitting your website in near real time. Install it using:
apt-get install apachetop
Then run apachetop and you will see traffic like this:
You should regularly check for 404 and 500 errors on your website. This will help you identify missing links and correct those links on your WordPress posts. HTTP 500 pages will give you an indication what is failing on your website and whether you are under some attack.
tail -n 10000 /var/log/apache2/access.log | awk '($9 !~ /200|304/)' | awk '{print $9,$7}' | sort | uniq This will process the last 10k lines from the Apache access log (equivalent to IIS website log) and show you URLS which aren’t 200 and 304. It’s a good starting point to check which URLs are failing and fix them one by one.
You can create a cron (equivalent to Windows Task Scheduler) to run say every 10 minutes and check if your site is still running. If not, it will restart Apache and MySQL.
