Thanks for these great guides Guvnr, loving it so far.

Could I suggest at the end of this one you mention the way to check that the cache is working is to view the last line of your pages’ source code and see the created time. Then refresh the page and check that it’s served the prior page.

Cheers,
Moses.

@thanh, good to hear. sure is possible .. just use the Add New option in the Plugins panel of your WordPress Dashboard .. that's what I tend to do and it's a great WP feature, giving an array of suggested plugins when you input a specific plugin name or keywords .. but then of course there is also Subversion which is darned handy, for instance, when you relocate a blog or set up one anew, and have a generic list of plugins that you want to install as a plugin 'base'. That subversion method is covered in WordPress Setup & Updates from the Command Line. Installing subversion is covered in PHP5, MySQL, Xcache, Subversion (for Platforms like WordPress). .. i never use that ftp login/pass method. i guess some folks like it.

I followed these instructions and everything works. One question remains, is it possible to make the backend of wordpress allow installing plugins without asking for FTP login/password. I use to be able to install wordpress plugins via the wordpress backend on my on Cpanel host. Just was wondering if it’s possible with nginx.

@Jean .. yes, you are on the right track, a little tweaking of that vhost will do the trick .. post it up and I’ll take a look.

Hi Guv, i’ve been following your tutorials with much thanks. I have a question as pretty permalinks don’t work for my WP (It’s always a 404 except if default is chosen in my WP permalinks settings) If my wp blog were at domain.com/blog instead, do I have to change the location of the vhost file ? (sudo nano /usr/local/nginx/sites-available/domain.com)?

I’m sorry if this is a really stupid question, I’m really, really new to CLI & VPS/linode. Thank you so much!
