Install Wordpress - CentOS 7

Pre-Req :

You need a user who isn't root who can run Sudo, if needed use the following:

adduser wordpress && passwd wordpress && gpasswd -a wordpress wheel

Then Install LAMP

yum install -y httpd mariadb-server mariadb php php-mysql
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Create MySQL DB:

mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE [DB_NAME];
CREATE USER [DB_USERNAME]@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '[DB_PASSWD]';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON [DB_NAME].* TO [DB_USERNAME]@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Now install via :

sudo yum install -y php-gd wget
cd ~ 
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar xzvf latest.tar.gz
cd ~/wordpress
sudo cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
sudo chown root:root * -R
sudo nano wp-config.php && sudo service httpd restart

wp-config.php:

 
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //

/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', '[DB_NAME]');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', '[DB_USERNAME]');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', '[DB_PASSWD]');

Now just move the Directory to whever you want apache to serve it from. I like to move it high up my file tree and symlink into apache. But you could just

mv * /var/www/html/

Page tree
