Install LNMP on the Linux server
There is not much to explain in this step. The official site at lnmp.org provides one-click installation scripts for various Linux distributions. Just follow the official instructions and install it. In most cases, it succeeds on the first try.

If you see the prompt above, it means the virtual host has been created successfully.
Create the database
Open the database administration URL: http://your-server-ip/tools/phpmyadmin/
- Username:
root - Password: the database password you set when LNMP was installed
After logging in, click “Users > Add user”.
Then:
- Enter the username, which will also be the database username.
- For host, usually choose
localhost. - For the password, just click Generate Password to create a random password.
- For the user database option, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges”. The username will also become the database name.
- Then click Execute in the lower right corner. If nothing unexpected happens, the database will be created successfully.
