 This tutorial is for setting up a self-hosted WordPress instance on Debian GNU/Linux. This tutorial assumes you have some familiarity setting up a LAMP stack. If you need help with that, check out [[https://wiki.haacksnetworking.com/doku.php?id=computing:apachesurvival|Apache Survival]]. Alright, let's install our LAMP stack and required/optional php modules. //Make sure to review what your instance requires and don't install or configure modules you don't need.//
-  sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php8.2 php-common php-cgi php-cli php-zip php-mysql php-mbstring php-intl php-fpm php-curl php-gd php-imagick php-xml php-xmlrpc php-soap php-opcache php-apcu php-bcmath memcached wget unzip

 Sometimes dpkg can choose which version of php you want and it's not always the version you want. In those cases, you can explicitly specify the version you need. Some packages are only available as ''php-xx'' so run the above command first and then the command below when those situations arise:
-  sudo apt-get install php8.2-{common,cgi,cli,zip,mysql,mbstring,intl,fpm,curl,gd,imagick,xml,xmlrpc,soap,opcache,apcu,bcmath}
+  sudo apt-get install php8.4-{common,cgi,cli,zip,mysql,mbstring,intl,fpm,curl,gd,imagick,xml,xmlrpc,soap,opcache,apcu,bcmath}
 Apache2 will set up a 000-default.conf automatically and your host should now resolve. Be sure to set up TLS with certbot. Here's my preferred method:

 There are two standard ways to configure php-fpm. One of those is to use ProxyPassReverse, however, this will disable the use of .htaccess in your WordPress root which is not ideal. The next common way which I prefer and use here, is to add a FilesMatch condition to your virtual host as follows. Within the <Include> and </Include> portion of your default-ssl.conf virtual host, add something like:
   <FilesMatch ".+\.ph(ar|p|tml)$">
-      SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"
+      SetHandler "proxy:unix:/run/php/php8.4-fpm.sock|fcgi://localhost"
   </FilesMatch>

 Refresh WordPress and it should see the sftp server and allow you to make changes that way. Note: The sftp server is public and anyone can access this with proper credentials even if it not for WordPress so use a proper password and make sure your TLS configuration is working. Your instance should now be pretty solid. The only other thing you might want is more than one WordPress site subdomain, for example, site1.cooldomain.com, site2.cooldomain.com, etc. If that's the case, then hop on over to my [[https://wiki.haacksnetworking.com/doku.php?id=computing:wpmultisite|Word Press Multisite]] tutorial.
