emmayank commented 4 hours ago

Description

Set up new WordPress EC2 instances to host a WordPress website. This task involves configuring the necessary EC2 infrastructure, installing WordPress, and ensuring that all services (e.g., web server, database) are correctly configured and optimized for performance. The instance should be properly secured, and essential plugins should be installed to ensure the WordPress site runs smoothly.

Goals

[x] Launch and configure new EC2 instances to host the WordPress site.
[x] Install and configure WordPress, including necessary dependencies (e.g., PHP, MySQL, Apache/Nginx).
[x] Set up a secure environment by configuring appropriate security groups, firewall rules, and access controls.
[x] Install essential WordPress plugins (security, SEO, caching, etc.) and ensure that the instance is optimized for performance.
[x] Ensure database configuration (MySQL or MariaDB) is done properly, and link the database with the WordPress instance.
[x] Configure backups, SSL certificates, and monitoring for the WordPress instance.

Expected Outcome

A fully functional WordPress website hosted on an EC2 instance, ready for production use.
Optimized performance and security, with essential plugins installed and configured.
Backup mechanisms and SSL certificates are in place to ensure reliability and security.

Acceptance Criteria

[x] EC2 instances are set up with all necessary resources and configurations (e.g., storage, networking).
[x] WordPress is installed and fully operational with all dependencies (PHP, MySQL, Apache/Nginx) configured.
[x] Security measures such as firewalls, security groups, and SSL certificates are implemented.
[x] Essential WordPress plugins (e.g., caching, security, SEO) are installed and configured.
[x] Backup mechanisms and monitoring tools are configured for reliability.

We’ve successfully deployed WordPress for the BNZ team and provided support to fine-tune and resolve WordPress-related issues. Additionally, we set up WordPress on AWS Lightsail and adjusted the EC2 instance size from t2.medium to t2.large to enhance performance.

Below is the error message and steps to fix this.

[Fri Oct 18 07:59:46.937714 2024] [php:error] [pid 672:tid 672] [client 49.36.51.96:0] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught RedisCachePro\\Exceptions\\PhpRedisMissingException: Object Cache Pro requires the redis PHP extension.

The solution to fix the above error is to execute the below command inside the docker container.

pecl install --force redis
docker-php-ext-enable redis.so

Also, we have increased the PHP memory size and upload limit in the config file.

After the event, we have downgraded the EC2 instances size to t2.medium
