Hello, there you have to set the parameters of the database you have created.

In this example, assuming you didn’t change anything in the post they would be:

Database name: wordpress
user: wordpress_user
password: wordpress_pss123
host: localhost

Thank you for this guide, angeloma.
But it is not clear to me what to input to the initial database set up screen of the wordpress installtion (Step 9).

In the step: sudo mysql_secure_installation, the instructions given here are to "say 'y' to all the questions". This is actually less secure.

MariaDB for Debian 10 installs the DB's "root" ccount with socket permissions. By default, logging in to the DB's root account with a password is disabled. That means that in order to log in to the database's root account, you also have to have access to the Debian system's root superuser.

One of the questions in mysql_secure_installation is do you want to make a root password. If you say yes here and create a password for the DB's root account, it means that anyone can log into the database as root as long as they know that password. It opens up your database to brute force attacks from any user on the system.

It is far more secure NOT to create a root password.

Cool guide, followed it completely. Except that my domain name does not redirect correctly to /var/www/html/wordpress but to the default Apache2 Debian Default Page, i.e. /var/www/html/index.html

Any thoughts?

Everything works until I get to Step 4: Complete the installation using the web interface. When I try to access my server via a browser, I get 404 errors. I’ve tried entering https://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php and just https://www.mydomain.com/ (where “mydomain” is my domain). Should I use a different address?
