You will need Filezilla & PuTTY
PuTTY found here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
I used the top one:
For windows on Intel x86
PuTTY putty.exe
once downloaded it open and press run
add your ip address and press open
add your root password and your in
I used filezilla for the main upload of files.
1) (uploaded via filezilla) created a folder in vhosts called default.co.uk - all magento files uploaded here - /var/www/vhosts
2) (uploaded via filezilla) created a conf file added to /etc/nginx/conf.d from another file on there (changing site names to default)
3) (uploaded via filezilla) Created a php-fpm conf file created from another file on there (changing site names to default) /ect/php-fpm.d called defaultcouk.conf
4) (in putty) restarted php-frm using following command: service restart php-fpm
5) (in putty) create user called default.co.uk using useradd using command: useradd --home-dir /var/www/vhosts/default.co.uk --no-create-home --shell /sbin/nologin default.co.uk
6) (in putty) change vhost ownership (because I created the confi files and folder containing the magento files before creating a user - their owner was down as "root" which is wrong. It needs to be i.e. default.co.uk
changed with command: chown -R default.co.uk:default.co.uk /var/www/vhosts/default.co.uk
7) (in putty) opened mysql: command: mysql
8) (in putty) Created data base:
Command: create database typedatabasename;
should then get this message: Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) (means its worked)
Command: grant all privileges on typedatabasename.* to 'typeusername'@'localhost' identified by "typepassword";
Command in mysql: flush privileges;
followed by: exit;
9) on ssh (filezilla) go to : /var/www/vhosts/default.co.uk/app/etc config.xml - this holds the data base name, username and password which magento will read off - change and re upload
10) (in putty) restart web server with command: service nginx restart
troubleshooting
If on the magneto installation wizard under the configuration tab you get: Database connection error. as a message use the following command:
grant all privileges on yourdatabasename.* to 'yourusername'@'localhost' identified by "yourpassword";
if the local host part hasnt been picked up it wont work.
