Step 2: Add a new virtual host

In the AMH host panel, clickwebsiteMenu, inVirtual HostAdd a new virtual host under the menu.

When adding a virtual host:

• Primary domain name: Fill in your domain name, which is used to create a website storage directory on the server.
• Operating environment: The default selection is the previously installed lnmp environment, lnmp01 (AMH can create multiple environments at the same time.)
• Listening IP port: The default port is 80, check Set as the default host for the environment, and then click the IPV6 button.
• Bind domain name: Bind the domain name you resolved previously here, and support wildcard domain name binding.
• Default homepage: No need to change, default static page and PHP
• URL rewriting rules: If you have installed the rewriting rules software in the AMH panel before, click Manage Rules to create a URL rule file.

Add a new management rule. In the optional rules, select wordpress2. This rule is a pseudo-static rule for WordPress. If you do not want to use static page access for the WordPress you created, you can ignore this rule.

location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; } # Add trailing slash to */wp-admin requests. rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;

The rules here are actually the rules in the server module in the Nginx.conf file. You can customize other rules in wordpress2, such as anti-hotlink, reverse proxy, etc.

You can also add rules for browser caching.

location ~* \.(css|js|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|gz|svg|ttf|webp|woff|woff2)$ { access_log off; add_header Cache-Control max-age=36000; }

Let's start configuring nginx rules.

After the rules are added, close the window. In the previous window, click Refresh List, then select wordpress2.conf and save it. The virtual host is created successfully.

Step 3: Install some commonly used PHP extensions.

Under the website menu, click Extension Installation, check the PHP extension below and click Submit to install the extension (fileinfo, intl, gettext, bcmath, opcache, pecl_imagick, exif, zbarcode).

Wait patiently for all the codes to run and all PHP extensions to be installed before you can proceed to the next step.

• Select Use file verification for the creation method.
• Select lnmp01 for the environment
• Select the host name you created.

The SSL certificate has been created successfully. Click on theapplication, enable the certificate.

After the certificate is successfully enabled, you still need to perform simple configuration, enable forced https, optimize and speed up, and automatically renew the certificate.

The SSL certificate has been successfully applied for. It is valid for three months and will be automatically renewed every three months. No manual operation is required.

Finally, make some more settings in the environment variables. These settings vary from person to person and there is no rigid requirement on how to modify them.

The website setup has come to an end here, and next you need to install the WordPress program.

Written at the end

The AMH hosting panel is easy and convenient to use, and each step of the operation seems familiar, which reminds people of the 8U8 website more than 20 years ago. That was a green era. It cost 10 yuan to book an all-night internet cafe. When you opened 8U8, lines of HTML code came into view, you could edit web pages online, apply for the second-level domain names of y365 and 8u8, and after a series of operations, a beautiful personal website was established. Time flies so fast, and more than 20 years have passed. Everything in the past is no longer the same.

AMH is more suitable for novice users to get started. It is very simple to create a website, all management is visual, the server can be easily managed, and a WordPress blog website can be easily built!

This era is so great!

Those old rookies who still stick to their computers rely not on persistence or hobbies, but on unspeakable poverty.

It feels so good to be alive!
