Okay. I’ve managed to make it work with a2ensite 000-default.conf, but still when I go to 192.168.0.72, I get to index of page /var/www/html/ folder where as my site is in /var/www/html/wordpress.

I need to type the full address manually to get it to work – http://192.168.0.72/wordpress/

How do I fix this? Do I make it redirect somehow from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.1/worpdress?

After I punched in a2ensite 000-default.conf, I was able to access my Website with my local IP address but it opens right on the IP, it doesn’t redirect me to /wordpress, so I can’t access admin pages nor I see myself logged in. Also, other pages are 404.

But if I type in a2dissite 000-default.conf and go directly to 192.168.0.1/worpdress in my browser, it works fine. But it doesn’t redirect me from plain address 192.168.0.1. It just shows the FTP index of the /html folder.

Thanks, Geoffrey for that!

Two things appear to be missing:
– in apache2 configuration file, under Directory directive: Require all granted.
– enable new site with a2ensite.

Thanks! Keep up the good work.

One other thing, using MySQL Monitor I had to create a user before I could grant all privileges, I’m pretty dumb so that stumped me for a good hour :D Here’s the command:

CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS 'put_a_username_here'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your password here';
GRANT ALL ON database_name.* TO 'put_the_same_username_here'@'localhost';

The ‘if not exists probably’ isn’t necessary but if you have tried it a few times it might avoid confusion.
