myVesta

Hi,

I just moved a Wordpress site from Centos7 (VestaCP) to Debian 10 (myVesta). Previously the hosting was on Apache, now is on Nginx. I have a problem that now Wordpress pretty links (post-name) are not working and I think the problem comes from the fact that mod)rewrite is not enabled.

Any pro tips would be very helpful.

Thank you,
Greg

check do you have .htaccess file.

if you installed myVesta with default options, mod_rewrite is enabled for sure.

I just did a clean wordpress install on a test domain that I own. There is no .htaccess file.

As soon as I change the permalinks setting to Post Name I got 404's on the site.

Also, reading on-line nginx doesn't support .htaccess files.

can you copy here first 5 lines of /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf ?
first we need to know did you intall apache at all

WEB_SYSTEM= 'nginx'
WEB_PORT= '80'
WEB_SSL_PORT= '443'
WEB_SSL= 'openssl'
WEB_BACKEND= 'php-fpm'

This is the script I ran on a clean Debian v10

bash vst-install-debian.sh --nginx yes --phpfpm yes --apache no --named no --remi yes --vsftpd yes --proftpd no --iptables yes --fail2ban yes --quota no --exim no --dovecot no --spamassassin no --clamav no --softaculous no --mysql yes --postgresql no --hostname server.domain.com --email [email protected] --password xxxxxxxxxx

Should have I selected apache yes on the installer?

Go to WEB -> Edit domain -> Template
try to put wordpress2_rewrite nginx template

Which one should I pick? Wordpress, Wordpress2 or Wordpress2_rewrite

Thank you for helping me with this issue!!!

The "wordpress" selection didn't work. But the wordpress2 and the wordpress_rewrite options did fix my issue. I've never needed
to look at these options before so it's super nice to see all these.

Thank you again!

Yes, because you chose nginx+fpm (without apache), it is mandatory to choose template regarding your CMS.
It is not needed in default install (nginx+apache+fpm), that stack is also very optimized, because apache works in mpm_event mode... plus you can install then multi-php versions..

I had the same 404 problem with a clean installation of nginx and php-fpm, after hours I fixed it select wordpress2.

What differences does wordpress2 vs wordpress2_rewrite have?
