About WordPress<\/strong><\/p>\n

WordPress is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek speak, it’s probably the easiest and most powerful blogging and website content management system (or CMS) in existence today.<\/p>\n

Set up<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Before working with wordpress, you need to have LAMP installed on your server.<\/p>\n

* Once you have the user and required software, you can start installing wordpress.<\/p>\n

Steps for installing and configuring wordpress in cent OS 6 as below<\/p>\n

Step 1 : <\/strong><\/p>\n

Download wordpress<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can download WordPress using the below command<\/p>\n

wget http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.tar.gz\n<\/pre>\n
This command will download the zipped wordpress package straight to your user’s home directory.<\/p>\n
Unzip wordpress package<\/strong><\/p>\n
We can unzip it to the next line<\/p>\n
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Step 2 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
Creating wordPress Database and User<\/strong><\/p>\n
After we unzip the wordpress files, they will be in a directory called wordpress in the home directory.<\/p>\n
Now we need to switch gears for a moment and create a new MySQL directory for wordpress.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Log into the MySQL Shell:<\/p>\n
mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n
* Login using your MySQL root password<\/p>\n
Then we need to create<\/p>\n
*  Wordpress database
\n*  User in that database and
\n*  Give that user a new password.<\/p>\n
Note : All MySQL commands must end with semi-colon<\/strong><\/p>\n
CREATE DATABASE wordpress;\nQuery OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)<\/pre>\n
* Then we need to create the new user.
\n* We can replace the database, name and password with our preference<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
CREATE USER wordpressuser@localhost;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Set the password for the new user:<\/p>\n
SET PASSWORD FOR wordpressuser@localhost= PASSWORD(\"password\");\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)<\/pre>\n
Upon the process we have to grant all the privileges on wordpress<\/p>\n
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpressuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Then refresh MySQL:<\/strong><\/p>\n
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\nQuery OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)<\/pre>\n
Exit out of the MySQL shell:<\/p>\n
exit<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Step 3 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
WordPress configuration setup<\/strong><\/p>\n
The first step to is to copy the sample wordpress configuration file located in the wordpress directory into a new file which we will edit, creating a new usable wordpress config<\/p>\n
cp ~\/wordpress\/wp-config-sample.php ~\/wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/pre>\n
Then open the wordpress config:<\/p>\n
vi ~\/wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/pre>\n
Find the section that contains the field below and substitute in the correct name for your database, username, and password:<\/p>\n
\/\/ ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** \/\/\n\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/\ndefine('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');\n\n\/** MySQL database username *\/\ndefine('DB_USER', 'wordpressuser');\n\n\/** MySQL database password *\/\ndefine('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');<\/pre>\n
Save and Exit.<\/p>\n
Step 4 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
Copy the files<\/strong><\/p>\n
The final move that remains is to transfer the unzipped WordPress files to the website’s root directory.<\/p>\n
sudo cp -r ~\/wordpress\/* \/var\/www\/html<\/pre>\n
From here, WordPress has its own easy to follow installation form online.<\/p>\n
However, the form does require a specific php module to run. If it is not yet installed on your server, download php-gd:<\/p>\n
sudo yum install php-gd<\/pre>\n
Last of all restart Apache:<\/p>\n
sudo service httpd restart<\/pre>\n
Step 5 : <\/strong><\/p>\n
Access the WordPress Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Upon completion of above process we can access the wordpress admin page as below<\/p>\n
domainname.com\/wpadmin <\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Click continue <\/strong>and proceed further for the installation setup<\/p>\n
