The preparatory work
Want to build a website, first of all to prepare the following resources (can be purchased in Ali Cloud and other websites, pay attention to the purchase of relevant discounts, to avoid unnecessary spending) :
- The server
- The domain name
- SSL certificate
In the process of building the website, you also need to use the following software (available for download on the pagoda official website and wordpress official website) :
- Pagoda installation software
- WordPress compressed file
Because some servers cannot open the pagoda interface with their own browsers, you may need to prepare installation software for common browsers (such as Google).
Finally, when using pagodas to build a site, you must remember to open the necessary ports (listed below are some common port descriptions of pagodas, please select as needed) :
- 22 Default SSH port number
- 80 Default site port
- 443 Default SSL port number
- 3306 Default port of Mysql
- 8888 Default port on the pagoda panel
- 888 PHPMyAdmin default port
- 20, 21, 39000-40000 Default FTP port number
If you do not know which port you want to open and how to open it, you can refer to the alicloud help document for adding security group rules and deploying Web environment (note: the help document is only for users who buy Alicloud server, in addition, if you have not changed the pagoda default port, you must remember to open port 8888).
