The latest stable release of FreeBSD 11 was released yesterday. Here, we’ll install WordPress on the latest FreeBSD 11 with a complete FAMP Stack ie FreeBSD with Apache as web server, MySQL for database system and PHP modules.

1) Installing Apache Web Server

To install Apache web server on FreeBSD, we can use its default package manager ie pkg which allows us to install the Apache web server from the official FreeBSD package repository. To install apache using pkg, we’ll need to run the following command.
