Install WordPress
Set up a WordPress site on Victus App Hosting: create the server, create a MySQL database, run the famous five-minute install and finish the initial configuration.
WordPress runs on PHP plus a MySQL/MariaDB database, both of which Victus App Hosting provides. The flow is: provision an Nginx + PHP server, create a database in the panel, upload WordPress, then complete the browser-based installer. This guide walks through each step.
Provision the server and database
- Create a new App Hosting server using the WordPress or Nginx + PHP template in the control panel.
- Open the Databases tab and create a new database (see "Create a database"). Note the host, port, database name, username and password.
- Open the Network tab and note the IP and port the site is served on.
If you chose a WordPress-specific template, the files and database may already be wired up on first boot — check the Console log, which often prints the initial admin URL. In that case skip straight to the browser installer.
Upload WordPress (manual template)
- Download the latest release from wordpress.org (the wordpress-x.y.z.zip file).
- In the Files tab, upload the .zip into the web root and use Unarchive to extract it.
- If the files land inside a wordpress/ subfolder, move them up so index.php sits directly in the web root.
- Restart the server from the Console.
Run the installer
- Visit http://YOUR_IP:YOUR_PORT in your browser.
- Choose your language, then enter the database name, username, password and host from the Databases tab.
- For the database host use the host:port shown in the panel (not localhost) unless the panel says the DB is local.
- Set your site title and create the admin account, then log in at /wp-admin.
Victus panel databases expose a specific host and port. Copy those exact values into wp-config; using localhost when the DB is on a separate host will make the installer report a connection error.
After install, use a strong admin password, keep WordPress and plugins updated, and put the site behind HTTPS on a real domain (see "Point a custom domain/subdomain" and "Enable SSL/HTTPS").
