@@TonyTeachesTech Hi. I logged into my server using your private key ssh method. But I think it has caused me to get locked out of my server 😥. I was already previously logged in using an RDP Remote Desktop Connection (and was in successfully for over 2 years from my Windows 7 PC to the Ubuntu server on Oracle). But now I can't get in with either SSH from the terminal or the Remote Desktop Connection. Why is this happening? Is there a way to undo the SSH private key log in that I did?
I have been trying for 5 days to this and I finally managed to get it done today. Which shows me that I should never ever give up and so shouldn't you.
@redtrib3 when you create your account they will take a few cents from your account to verify your bank card but they refund that and then when you in your cloud console, you shouldn't choose that option that says upgrade account. (When you login you should see that your account is not upgraded) and you shouldn't otherwise if you exceed the free resources limit then you will be charged so remember NOT to upgrade your account.
I recommend everyone to try this. I followed the documentation to the tee, the only issues I had were with my DNS not working well with www and non www, I used A records for both. I ended up switching to CNAME and also moved to cloudflare for added security. It masks your site's IP address as well. I used certbot for a free SSL certificate, it will auto renew for you so you don't need to worry about that. I can almost feel confident that I have something to say during an interview
Awesome video! One piece of advice I would add for beginners is that when you open port 80, consider also opening port 443 if you plan on utilizing a ssl certificate.
Let's Encrypt gives us all the ability to easily get HTTPS going. Nowadays it's pretty much required, a lot of security based browsers and add-ons won't even let you connect to HTTP sites unless it's a redirect to the same domain's HTTPS site.
I understand the free 200GB, but are there any max connection or traffic volume limits Oracle might enforce, once such a free web site might have to serve a lot of requests or data?
Please consider doing more videos on OCI Free Tier. ((The official Oracle documentation is so bland and unimaginative, few tutorials useful with always-free eligible). So NOW that you have this VM running nginx, what always-free Eligible services would you connect to the nginx instance?
Dude you mentioned to go from http to https but it has created a lot lot of problems for me. A detailed video following this setup will be much helpful
The payment verification step doesn't work at all for me. I have used the exact same details I use for AWS and it worked fine on there. Googling this told me this has been a problem for almost a year and, as far as I can tell, Oracle have not done anything about this. Their support for free tier is terrible and I can't find any fixes for this problem. I assume you wouldn't know of any way to fix this but if you or anyone else here knows a way or has an info on this, I would appreciate it.
Hi, Tony! Regarding "All tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor. For Always Free tenancies, this is equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory." This is how it works: Hours/resource = Hours in a month of a single resource. 3000 OPCU Hours / 04 OCPU = 750 hours of 01 OCPU per month 18000 GB Hours / 24 GB Ram = 750 hours of 01 GB ram per month 750 Hours / 24 Hours = 31 days and a quarter. Therefore, within the limits of 04 OCPU / 24 GB Ram / 200 GB Storage configuration , you won't be charged. I've been using it for months. With Ampere you can have up to 04 (not just two, like AMD) different servers with 1 OCPU / 6 Gb Ram / 50 Gb Storage. The only problem is that with ARM there might be some packages missing. It would be great to have a tutorial with a functional and not shaddy Control Panel that works with ARM besides aaPanel.
hi Tony, Thanks for your teaching! One thing, with your configuration, I can't Change Permalink Setting to 'Post name', or the nginx would not find the page.
Thank you for making this. I think it may need some redo however since it seem to be missing some vital nginx or db configuration to able to build the wordpress part. I experience many issues to image upload, making new page, saving and publishing an article. I have spent more time troubleshooting wordpress issues than setting up the instance with nginx.
Hi thank you for the video. It is Really great. I cannot find where I had saved the files on 6:17 (public and private keys). Can I find and download them again?
this is a great vid and all worked well apart from the sample apache page the images there dont show and the the final wordpress site none of the images work. I have opened ports 80 + 443. any thoughts on this, have you also seen this?
Thank you for your video, it's really useful! I followed it step by step, but I still have a problem: I cannot create new pages with Wordpress and I can't even upload files using tools like FileZilla. I suspect it is a problem concerning permission, but I am not sure (I am quite a beginner). However, the permission for the html folder is "drwxr-xr-x" and the owner is www-data, shouldn't this be enough for having the necessary permissions?
Presumably the public IP is shared by many VMs from different user accounts, how does the Internet know what unique VM in the pool to reach for a particular website or service? Does the gateway parse the URL to distinguish one VM for another? That is the only way I can think of that allows differentiation between the various VMs sharing a public IP.
I used to install Ubuntu without problems, but now I can't ssh, it returns port "ssh: connect to host x.x.x.x port 22: Connection timed out", the oracle custom Linux works but I prefer Ubuntu. also, I wonder if I can reinstall the distro without terminating the instance. Thank you
Hi, I was following your tutorial however, when creating a compute instance I find that Oracle has added a monthly cost for boot volume as a standard. Is there anything I can change to avoid those charges?
dont i have to use public zone? i have one website configured, its domain expired. so i deleted zone for that, and trying to add new domain, but its giving me "limit exeeded.." how i can map public domain with ip? also there is no support ticket/forum option in their forums..
Can you please teach us how we can run 2 or more websites in the same instance using port socket with ngix, like the shared hosting, where hosting provider use one IP address with a lot of websites with domaine name pointing to one IP address Thank you
I'm having a problem with installation of plugins, the page says it requieres FTP credentials, where do I find them? they are no the same as the wordpress admin correct? also, the hostname required are the same address (ip or name of the website)?
SSH private key files generated by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are not compatible with PuTTY. If you are using a private key file generated during the instance creation process you need to convert the file to a .ppk file before you can use it with PuTTY to connect to the instance.
Hi, many thanks for sharing, I'm having troubles to add my credit card. The Oracle System is simply declining. I could try it many times using 3 different cards. When I emailed to the Oracle Support they said that the problem is with bank card issuer. But this is not true, cause I've tried 3 diferent credit cards and different emails. Could someone here help me, plesase?
Thanks for the tutorial, Tony! How to wipe the Ubuntu instance without having to delete it completely? I want to retain the same IP address but start afresh.
Could you explain the complexity of using ampere A1 compute instance 4ocpus with 25GB memory for always free opportunity. I mean when will we get the trigger (use case scenario) for extra payment?
Very nice... thanks Tony great videos in your channel. Here is something I do. When I open a new shell, I run 'sudo -i' and after that I do not need to prefix all commands with sudo. Not sure if it is specific to the shell I use but try it and see if it works for you.
can I set up google cloud or oracle cloud free trial with a an Ubuntu VM to run a low cost 24/7 streaming of my old videos to my TH-cam channel. This is the next big thing for TH-cam... do this and include additional good price for webhosting my website with the free trial offer and it will be gold.
I don't know if this is just a problem with the current latest WordPress... I did everything in this tutorial religiously and came across 2 problems. The first I cured, the second has me stumped... The first was that I could not upload Elementor because I kept getting errors that the file exceeded limits. This came on an nginx 403 page. I was able to eliminate this problem by editing both nginx and php configuration files and upping the limits I found within those. Relatively easy, but needed a web search to discover the files that needed editing. Having done that, I went to change the way permalinks are shown using the custom category/postname that I have used on other site. Having done that, I went back to check site health and I was getting a REST API error. Not only that, but neither the block editor built in to Wordpres nor Elementor would work. Ouch! However, returning permalinks to the default removed the error after which both the block editor and Elementor worked fine. Weird. So... with this install do I have to be stuck with ugly permalinks? PLEASE tell me there is a solution to this!!
Hello, could you do a tutorial about the server out of capacity issue, I wanted to reinstall the server and now I'm unable to create 4 cores and 24 gigs of ram server, the error is like this "Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-2.", there is a tutorial which uses a PHP script to somehow monitor the availability of the server, the method probably works but it's rather confusing.
Hi, I created free tier instance earlier & everything was fine. Recently they did update within a subset of Availability Domains in my selected region, they reminded me to migrate instance but I was unable to understand how to. Now my instance is terminated & I am unable to retrieve data & when I try to create an instance with the old boot volume, they show "No shapes are available in the selected availability domain", What can I do now? Thanks
Hello Tony! :) Nice video about this topic. I try to recreate the same, but with a VM (Instance) that has Oracle Linux 8 Image (i use the same AMD Shape as you). When i want to install MySQL, PHP using YUM Package Manager, my Terminal Command on Linux gets killed after a while with no Error or result being shown. Also in the beginning after i connect with the SSH command, when i ‘sudo yum update’, the process is getting killed without any result happening. Do you think it might be because of lack of Disk Space Resources(the 46.6GB Boot Volume is not enough?!). Thanks for your help!
Hi. Thank you for the great tutorial. I have run into a little bit of an issue. Wordpress stopped working for me (get a cloudflare page saying issue with host). Now I can't even access hestia or cyberpanel to recover or download my files. Not sure what happened. Is there any way of salvaging the countless hours I have spent developing my website?
I had seen a comment stating as a risk that Oracle Cloud doesn't recognize whether the instance is running or not if you are using OS'es other than Oracle Linux and probably deletes them
Perfect video Tony... always provide me the solution. I'm using Oracle for a while and security list was easy to done, but by default the iptables lock's the ports; Thanks for all.
Need help: Wordpress is not loading with graphics (user interface), it is only texts and Hyper links. Internet solutions are going to file manager and adding a script in wp-config.php file. I tried editing from the terminal by adding command "sudo vim wp-config.php edit", added the script, and saved with ":wq" but issue isn't resolved. Help
It's been a long time, I guess I did a fresh resintall as I was beginner, now, I am familiar with connecting my VPS. If it had happened now I would have gone deeper into the issue as it's fun for me to explore the backend.@@NicolastheThird-h6m
Honestly I’ve done everything step by step. Everything seems right till I tried setting up the database. The IP loaded well, but after I set up the data base and configured the nginx web server according to your website. It started should 403 forbidden error. What could I be doing wrong pls?
There is a typo in your command code in Step 9 in your linked code snippets (For some reason I don't see the captcha box i supposed to click to post a comment on the link). You have """sudo systemclt restart nginx""", this should be """sudo systemctl restart nginx""". Just figured you would want to know. Great tutorial by the way very helpful for setting up a personal website/page.
Every time i rebopot the server i have to use the firewall command again is there any fix? sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT Edit: all you have to do to fix this is : sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent sudo -i sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4 that's it
Dear Tony first of all thank you for detailed quide. I want to clarify one more thing, is there any availability to upload windows server or just some windows iso to oracle cloud? And after do all of this from windows, I mean raise the web server. Because all of that terminal manipulations can be easily done after few clicks in windows from graphical interface. Thank you, and everyone who will answer in advance.😊
so at your 10mins in the cmd window, I ended up doing it in gitbash as the windows cmd wasnt letting me even do ls in gitbash however it said apt command not found and also apt-get not found. Does anyone have a help for this or is it a I'm on windows not linux so I shoudl just skip that step?
Hi there Tony, so it turns out that the php7.4 socks file is no where to be found on the latest Ubuntu 22 OS and i cannot download it directly either. I get this error: "Package 'php7.4-fpm' has no installation candidate". How do I resolve this?
I am not receiving the confirmation or further details as specified after successful sign up. Do you maybe know why? Edit: My email is correct because I received the email verification link. Just not receiving the further details promised at the end.
Thanks for the video Tony, any idea why the site doesn't load when I install an SSL certificate using certbot? I already changed the site URL to before installing the SSL certificate
Bro, You just need run the followings commands: firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp firewall-cmd --reload And remember add the roule to route the port 443 on your OCI firewall configuration.
Can't seem to validate my credit card from the UK, tried 4 different Visa nd Mastercards. Opened a ticket with Oracle and there's nothin the can do, shame I'd really like to try this
I've watched multiple videos from your channel now, and I gotta say, you're seriously underrated.

Perfect! Thanks 🙏 Tony. Gonna try this out later today :)
How'd it go?
Perfect video Tony... always provide me the solution. I'm using Oracle for a while and security list was easy to done, but by default the iptables lock's the ports; Thanks for all.
Excellent!
Do crontab -e and set * * * * * sudo iptables -F and * * * * * sudo iptables -X
@@WreeperXD actually you could just remove these two packages: iptables-persistent, netfilter-persistent
@@Rmly Oh okay!
It is nice tutorial, TQ Tony
Simply Perfect! how to create a policies limit on OCI?
Need help: Wordpress is not loading with graphics (user interface), it is only texts and Hyper links. Internet solutions are going to file manager and adding a script in wp-config.php file. I tried editing from the terminal by adding command "sudo vim wp-config.php edit", added the script, and saved with ":wq" but issue isn't resolved. Help
Did you check if the css files are still there
It's been a long time, I guess I did a fresh resintall as I was beginner, now, I am familiar with connecting my VPS. If it had happened now I would have gone deeper into the issue as it's fun for me to explore the backend.@@NicolastheThird-h6m
Honestly I’ve done everything step by step. Everything seems right till I tried setting up the database.
The IP loaded well, but after I set up the data base and configured the nginx web server according to your website. It started should 403 forbidden error.
What could I be doing wrong pls?
There is a typo in your command code in Step 9 in your linked code snippets (For some reason I don't see the captcha box i supposed to click to post a comment on the link).
You have """sudo systemclt restart nginx""", this should be """sudo systemctl restart nginx""".
Just figured you would want to know. Great tutorial by the way very helpful for setting up a personal website/page.
Thanks so much for pointing that out! It's been fixed
You're really awesome! Thanks so much for sharing to us..
You are so welcome!
Every time i rebopot the server i have to use the firewall command again is there any fix? sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Edit: all you have to do to fix this is :
sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent
sudo -i
sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
that's it
So much cloud to learn... Thanks man
My pleasure!
Very Good Tutorial, Thanks A Lot.
You're welcome!
Dear Tony first of all thank you for detailed quide.
I want to clarify one more thing, is there any availability to upload windows server or just some windows iso to oracle cloud?
And after do all of this from windows, I mean raise the web server.
Because all of that terminal manipulations can be easily done after few clicks in windows from graphical interface.
Thank you, and everyone who will answer in advance.😊
so at your 10mins in the cmd window, I ended up doing it in gitbash as the windows cmd wasnt letting me even do ls
in gitbash however it said apt command not found and also apt-get not found. Does anyone have a help for this or is it a I'm on windows not linux so I shoudl just skip that step?
nvm I missed the bit about using putty, ignore me
Hi there Tony, so it turns out that the php7.4 socks file is no where to be found on the latest Ubuntu 22 OS and i cannot download it directly either. I get this error: "Package 'php7.4-fpm' has no installation candidate".
How do I resolve this?
I think this sock file was updated to 8.1. I was able to find that version and update the nginx default sites available file.
I am not receiving the confirmation or further details as specified after successful sign up. Do you maybe know why?
Edit: My email is correct because I received the email verification link. Just not receiving the further details promised at the end.
Thanks for the video Tony, any idea why the site doesn't load when I install an SSL certificate using certbot? I already changed the site URL to before installing the SSL certificate
Bro, You just need run the followings commands:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
And remember add the roule to route the port 443 on your OCI firewall configuration.
Can Maria be replaced with MySQL? I'm not running wordpress just my own HTML/CSS/Javascript/php
