Hi Tony, I need to increase the max upload size in wordpress and non of the videos I watched works. I donde it before but with the help of the hosting company. I wanted to try this time using AWS.

Thank you Tony, awesome video! I learned a lot.

Is it just me or do most people not use or know how to use cloudshell from aws?. It makes it easier management wise being all in the browser.

Thank you very much Tony !

Hi mate,

I'm having some issues to upload files in the Media Library. I installed on an Free Tier EC2.

This is the error:
"The server cannot process the image. This can happen if the server is busy or does not have enough resources to complete the task. Uploading a smaller image may help. Suggested maximum size is 2560 pixels."

- I tried increasing the Maximum upload size with a file php.ini
- I tried increasing the maximum by plugin
- I tried reducing the size of the picture under 2560px

Is there a command that we execute to makes some changes in the server to allow us to use bigger file?

Thanks once again

Hands down the best tutorial on this!

I runned the DNSChecker and it's pointing to two IP, I've checked the records and it's all correct... I tried to follow to next step which is setup the WordPress, and my page didn't load.

Should I wait a few hours - days to try to proceed with the tutorial, or is there's something else that could be wrong?

Thanks

thanks from Argentina!

Thank you so much for helping me out :) I have done the setup after watching this tutorial. But whenever, I'm trying to open that AWS public ip address it's still landing me to the Nginx page! Will you kindly assist me that how to fix that issue? Thanks lot again for this extremely helpful tutorial ❤️

It seems easier to create a site on godaddy lol

awesome job

Hi tony please I need your help
When I type. “ mysql -u root -p”
Am prompt to input “password” but at this level my keyboard stops working even a copy and pasting of the password won’t work. Please what you think could be the problem? Thanks

do i need to create elastic ip to make it work? (i did and work)

In my case i cant get public ip open in my browser, i install apache2 but can't open it, always this error: "This site can’t be reached3

for the servername, can i just use IP address instead of DNS?

Thanks Tony, the implementation went seamlessly. ❤

When doing: sudo nginx -t

I get as error:
nginx: [emerg] open() "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/conf" failed (40: Too many levels of symbolic links) in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:60
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

What would be a suitable solution please?

Thanks a lot 👍🏻 You saved me alot of time and money too . Just few suggestions please explain the tags in breif next time it will help us more to understand the code . Thanks 👍🏻

That could be your best video yet.
WP is typically slow. Any suggestions on speeding it up and/or can you make a video/suggestions with the database on a different EC2 instance?

Thank you so much. Indeed Helpful.

Hi Tony, when I am trying to use chmod 400 to change the key I am getting this type of error "Unable to change file mode on aw2ec2.pem: Operation not permitted" would you be able to give any suggestions on how can I fix it ?
