Prerequisites
|
||||
=============
|
||||
This tutorial shows you how to install the WordPress components on your |CL| LAMP server. At the end of :ref:`web-server-install`, you created a WordPress\*-ready database using phpMyAdmin\* and MariaDB\*. Now that the LAMP server is up and running, you can add the WordPress components needed to host a WordPress website on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
This tutorial assumes you have already
|
||||
:ref:`installed Clear Linux on a bare metal system <bare-metal-install>`
|
||||
and that you have :ref:`set up a LAMP web server <web-server-install>`.
|
||||
Before you begin
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, all the steps on this tutorial were tested using a NUC6i5SYH
|
||||
Intel® NUC. Visit the `NUC6i5SYH product page`_ for detailed information.
|
||||
This tutorial assumes you have successfully installed :ref:`Clear Linux on bare metal<bare-metal-install>` and that you have :ref:`set up a LAMP web server <web-server-install>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Before installing any new packages, update the |CL| OS with the
|
||||
console command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
Before you install new packages, update the |CL| OS with the following command:

Creating a WordPress server
|

Create a WordPress server
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
This tutorial walks you through the process of installing the WordPress
|
||||
components on your |CL| LAMP server. At the end of the
|
||||
:ref:`web server tutorial <web-server-install>`, we created the initial
|
||||
WordPress MySQL database `WordPress` using phpMyAdmin\* and MariaDB\*.
|
||||
With the LAMP server up and running, we can add the WordPress components
|
||||
needed to host a WordPress website on your host system.
|
||||
WordPress can be installed in a variety of ways. These instructions are written for users who have followed our instructions for installing phpMyAdmin when they :ref:`set up a LAMP web server <web-server-install>`. Note that all steps in this tutorial have been tested using a NUC6i5SYH Intel® NUC. Visit the `NUC6i5SYH product page`_ for detailed information.
|
||||
|
||||
Throughout this tutorial we will reference your website name as
|
||||
<your_website>. There are numerous articles available on-line regarding how
|
||||
to name your website and acquire the necessary certificates. Those tasks are
|
||||
beyond the scope of this tutorial.

Numerous online articles are available to help you name your website and acquire the necessary certificates. Those tasks are beyond the scope of this tutorial.
|
||||
|
||||
There are also several actions you can take to harden your website from
|
||||
attacks. The security of your website and the data it contains are complex
|
||||
and ever-evolving tasks. They should be at the top of your to do list if you
|
||||
plan to expose your website to the outside world. This tutorial does not
|
||||
address security measures that you can take to harden your site but we
|
||||
strongly encourage you to look into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing WordPress
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The folks at WordPress have created a `step-by-step guide`_ to install
|
||||
WordPress quickly and easily. We are following this procedure very closely.
|
||||
|
||||
We are setting up a WordPress blog which can be accessed at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://<your_website>/blog
|
||||
|
||||
To accomplish this setup, we must put the WordPress components in the
|
||||
:file:`/var/www/html/blog` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Let us get started:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. To move to the top-level of the website’s root directory, enter the
|
||||
following command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
cd /var/www/html
|
||||
|
||||
2. To download the latest version of WordPress, enter the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
sudo curl -O https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
3. To extract all the files and directories from the downloaded file,
|
||||
enter the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
sudo tar –xzvf latest.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
4. To rename the top-level WordPress directory to “blog”, enter the following
|
||||
command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
sudo mv wordpress blog
|
||||
|
||||
5. To remove the downloaded tar file, enter the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
sudo rm latest.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up WordPress
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
With the WordPress components loaded into the
|
||||
:file:`/var/www/html/blog` directory, we can set everything up.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of editing the :file:`wp_config.php` file manually, we are using the
|
||||
web-based configuration tool to setup the database name and user. We created
|
||||
both in the :ref:`web server tutorial <web-server-install>`. In your browser,
|
||||
go to: http://<your_website>/blog/wp-admin/install.php.
|
||||
|
||||
Your screen should look like figure 1:
|
||||
|
||||
.. _fig-wp-install-1:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: figures/wp-install-1.png

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Select :guilabel:`English` for the language and click the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Continue` button. :ref:`As shown on figure 1<fig-wp-install-1>`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The WordPress installation continues until the welcome screen shown in figure
|
||||
2 appears:

||||

||||

|
||||
:alt: WordPress welcome screen
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
WordPress welcome screen.
|
||||
|
||||
Click the :guilabel:`Let’s go!` button to enter the information.
|
||||
|
||||
Enter the database name, username, and password we used when creating the
|
||||
database:
|
||||
|
||||
Database name: WordPress
|
||||
|
||||
Database username: wordpressuser
|
||||
|
||||
Database password: wp-example
|
||||
|
||||
Enter the following values for the database host and the table prefix:
|
||||
|
||||
Database host: localhost
|
||||
|
||||
Table prefix: wp\_
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 3 shows the filled out fields.
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: figures/wp-install-3.png
|
||||
:alt: Database connection details
|
||||
:width: 600
|
||||
|
||||
These details are needed for WordPress to connect to the database.
|
||||
You can take several actions to harden your website from attacks. The security of your website and the data it contains are complex and ever-evolving tasks. Prioritize security if you plan to expose your website to the outside world. This tutorial does not address security measures that you can take to harden your site but we strongly encourage you to take action.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
When you enter your password into the password field, it will be in clear
|
||||
text and not asterisks.
|
||||
Throughout this tutorial, we reference your website name as <your_website>.
|
||||
|
||||
After entering all the data for accessing your database, click the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Submit` button.
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 4 shows the following screen letting you know the communication
|
||||
between WordPress and your database has been successfully set up.
|
||||
Download WordPress and manage directories
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: figures/wp-install-4.png
|
||||
For this tutorial, you will create a WordPress blog that can be accessed at: http://<your_website>/blog.
|
||||
|
||||
To accomplish this setup, you must add WordPress components to the :file:`/var/www/html/blog` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#. Navigate to the top level of the website’s root directory:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
cd /var/www/html
|
||||
|
||||
#. Download the latest version of WordPress:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
sudo curl -O https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
#. Extract all files and directories from the downloaded file:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
sudo tar –xzvf latest.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
#. Rename the top-level WordPress directory to “blog”:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
sudo mv wordpress blog
|
||||
|
||||
#. Remove the downloaded tar file:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||
|
||||
sudo rm latest.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
Set up WordPress with Web-based GUI
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Recall that you created a database and user when you installed phpMyAdmin during :ref:`Creating a Clear Linux based web server <web-server-install>`. Next, you must connect WordPress to the database and install WordPress.
|
||||
|
||||
To continue with the setup, go to: http://<your_website>/blog/wp-admin/install.php. The WordPress language option screen appears, as shown in figure 1.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Select :guilabel:`English` and click :guilabel:`Continue`.
