By way of introduction, WordPress is an open-source CMS (Content Management System) that allows us to deploy a website or a blog quickly but including a lot of advanced features.

In addition to this, we can upload new information from a control panel via a web interface so the ease of administration is complete. It is worth noting that a huge amount of websites are deployed with WordPress, this gives you an idea of how complete it is.

So, let’s get started.

Install WordPress on Debian 11

Install LAMP on Debian 11

As WordPress is a web application created with PHP and requires a database manager like MariaDB, then we can use the LAMP stack for our purpose.

To do so, first read our post about Apache and PHP

How to install Apache on Debian 11?

Also, you will need these PHP modules for WordPress to work at least in a basic way.

php7.4 libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-common php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-soap php7.4-gd php7.4-xml php7.4-intl php7.4-mysql php7.4-cli php7.4-ldap php7.4-zip php7.4-curl php7.4-zip php7.4-curl

And then complete the LAMP installation with MariaDB.

How to install MariaDB on Debian 11?

Now with MariaDB installed, the next step is to create a new database and MariaDB user dedicated to WordPress. To do this, enter the MariaDB shell

sudo mysql -u root -p

And create the database with the name you want:

CREATE DATABASE wordpress;

After this, create a new user with permissions on the database.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on wordpress.* TO 'wordpress_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpress_pss123';

You can replace the username and password with any values you want.

Refresh permissions

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

And exit the console

exit;

With this, we have the system ready for WordPress.

Download the WordPress package

The next step is to download the latest stable version of WordPress for Linux. This step will be done from the /tmp folder and using the wget command.

cd /tmp
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
--2021-09-11 17:41:50--  https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Resolving wordpress.org (wordpress.org)... 198.143.164.252

2021-09-11 17:41:52 (10.6 MB/s) - ‘latest.tar.gz’ saved [15087630/15087630]

When the download is finished, unzip it, move it to the Apache root directory, assign the appropriate permissions and make Apache the owner of the folder so that it will not have any problems running.

tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz
sudo mv wordpress/ /var/www/html/
sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/wordpress/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/

Next, create a new VirtualHost to better manage the WordPress website

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf

And add the following:

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerAdmin admin@your_domain.com
      DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress
     ServerName your-domain.com

     <Directory /var/www/html/wordpress>
          Options FollowSymlinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
     </Directory>

     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Replace the ServerName and ServerAdmin values with the appropriate values which are your domain and Admin email.

Save the changes and close the editor.

Now enable the new Apache site and the Apache rewrite module.

sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/wordpress.conf
sudo a2enmod rewrite

Apply changes by restarting Apache

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Install the Let’s Encrypt certificates

As your site will be on the internet, you should enable HTTPS and for that, you have to generate and install the Let’s Encrypt certificates which we can do with the help of Certbot.

So, install Certbot and the Apache plug-in.

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

And generate the certificates, with the following command

sudo certbot --apache -d [your-domain]

Replace [your-domain] with your domain. During the process, you will have to enter an email address and accept the license terms.

Afterward, if the process is successful you will be notified and you can restart Apache and finish the process.

Install WordPress on Debian 11

Now open a web browser and go to https://yourdomain and you will see the following screen starting the installer.

Start by selecting the language of the installation.

Then the installer will notify you of the information needed for installation.

After this, enter the parameters of the created database such as database name, user, and password.

If everything went well, you will see a screen informing you that the process was successful.

Now, enter the information of the website you are creating. Also, on that screen, you will have to create the WordPress administrator user. Then, press the Install WordPress button.

If everything went well, you will see this screen

Now you just need to log in with your credentials.

And see the WordPress dashboard indicating that everything went well.

Enjoy it.

Conclusion

In this post, you have learned how to install WordPress on Debian 11 using Apache as the web server. This process has been done step by step in a way that anyone can do it. Now that you know how to do it, give it a try.

This post is a continuation of our post

How to install OpenLiteSpeed on CentOS 8?

So before you do the tutorial, you should review the other one.

Install WordPress with OpenLiteSpeed on CentOS 8?

As we have already said, the first thing is to install and configure OpenLiteSpeed on CentOS 8. But also, to install some additional modules and packages.

dnf install lsphp74-common lsphp74-curl lsphp74-imap lsphp74-json lsphp74-mysqlnd lsphp74-opcache lsphp74-imagick lsphp74-memcached lsphp74-redis tar

With this, we can start working.

1.- Creating the new database for WordPress

WordPress handles a lot of data and all of it is stored in a database manager. As we already have MariaDB then this is the one we will use.

So, open the MariaDB shell:

mysql -u root -p

And it starts to create the new database, the user, and assign the corresponding permissions:

CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on wordpress.* TO 'wordpress_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpress_pss123';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Of course, replace the user, password, and database name values with the ones you want.

2.- Download WordPress on CentOS 8

The next step is to download WordPress. To do this, we will place ourselves in the default OpenLiteSpeed DocumentRoot.

cd /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/

And from there we will make the download using the wget command.

wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Then decompress the downloaded file:

tar xvfz latest.tar.gz

And assign the corresponding permissions:

chmod -R 640 /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/wordpress/

Also, it changes the owner of it for the regular user, in my case:

chown -R angelo:angelo /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/wordpress/

Now, to configure OpenLiteSpeed.

3.- Configuring OpenLiteSpeed

Now you have to do some configuration to OpenLiteSpeed from the web interface of the program.

So, in a web browser, go to http://your-server:7080 to see the OpenLiteSpeed login screen. Enter your credentials and then you will see the dashboard.

Then, go to the Virtualhost section where you will see a summary of active Virutalhost.

Click on the glass button to see the Virtualhost data called Example.

Go to the General tab to see Virtualhost settings.

In the General section, click the modify button on the right.

And modify:

Document Root
Domain Name

It looks like this. Then click on the button on the floppy disk that saves the changes made.

Then, back to the VirtualHost settings, in the Index File section click on the modify button

And in the Index Files section he adds:

index.php

The following is the way it works

Now save the changes on the Diskette button.

Then click on the Rewrite tab.

In the Rewrite Control section click the modify button on the right and enable the Rewrite module and Autoload .htaccess

Then save the changes.

Finally, restart OpenLiteSpeed in the green button.

4.- Install WordPress with OpenLiteSpeed

Now you can install WordPress with OpenLiteSpeed without any problem.

So, in the browser go to your server and you will see the WordPress welcome screen.

In the next screen, add the configuration data from the database we created earlier.

If the connection to the database is successful, you will see this screen, and to start the installation just click on the Run the Installation button.

You will then have to add the information of the site you are creating, as well as the administrator account and password.

If everything goes well, you will see the following screen:

You can then login and access the Dashboard.

So, enjoy it.

Previously we explained that the storage engine is a fundamental component of database managers. With them, we define many ways about how our data is stored. Also, it is good to say that there are many and all are good but each in certain circumstances.

So, if your WordPress site needs a change of storage engine, in this post we will tell you how to do it easily and safely.

Previous steps

In this post, it is assumed that WordPress is already installed and running. If not, there are our posts that will help you install it without problems.

How to install WordPress on Ubuntu 20.04?
How to install WordPress on Debian 10?

To facilitate the whole process, we have chosen to use also PHPMyAdmin as a tool. This will help us with some steps.

How to install PHPMyAdmin on Ubuntu 20.04?
How to install PHPMyAdmin on Debian 10?

With this done, we can start.

Changing MySQL / MariaDB storage engine for a WordPress site

Open your web browser and open PHPMyAdmin. You will see the following screen:

As you can see in the image, I have a database called wordpress which is where the site data is.

The process is quite safe but it is always convenient to make a backup of the database.

So, select the wordpress database and go to the Export tab and make a backup of the whole database by pressing the Go button.

Perhaps the fastest method is to use SQL code. So, click on the SQL tab.

What we have to do is modify each table that makes up the WordPress database. As I am using a recent installation of WordPress you may have many more tables.

So, in my case these are the lines I have to run:

ALTER TABLE wp_commentmeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_comments ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_links ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_options ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_postmeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_termmeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_terms ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_term_relationships ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_term_taxonomy ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_usermeta ENGINE=InnoDB;
ALTER TABLE wp_users ENGINE=InnoDB;

Remember that if you want to change to MyISAM you only have to modify the commands, for example:

ALTER TABLE wp_commentmeta ENGINE=MyISAM;

Then click on the Go button.

Then you will see a screen where you can see that each modification has been done correctly.

And you will continue to enjoy your website without any problems.

So, enjoy it.

Conclusion

Changing the storage engine of all the tables in a WordPress site can be helpful for your site. The process is quite simple, but it is always advisable to do it after backing up our database.

What is Localhost?

This is a service offered by applications such as XAMP, MAMP among others, which allows you to simulate all the conditions of a real server. To do this, use the resources of the computer to install packages of PHP and MySQL. Precisely, all these tools in the webserver allow WordPress to work. This local server is ideal for testing plugins and themes, as it offers a development environment almost identical to a real server. Also, it’s a great idea to test WordPress before publishing it on the website.

How to reset the password at the Localhost.

Under real server conditions, WordPress allows you to reset your password using your registered email. Since it is enough to enter the mail so that the system sends a link to be able to recover it. However, in a local server environment, this solution is not possible. Since the mail function is disabled. That is, the system does not send the recovery email. Of course, it is possible to enable this function by editing some lines of code. However, today I propose an alternative solution.

How to recover your password on Localhost using phpMyAdmin.

When you install a local web server, another server called PhpMyAdmin is also installed. In effect, this is used to manage, modify, create, or delete databases. In fact, from this section, the MySQL system is used to create the database for WordPress. Well, the first thing you have to do is check which is the database created for WordPress. With this intention, check the file wp-config.php. There is the name of the database used.

Then, you just need to log in to the phpMyAdmin server. Once there, please click on the WordPress database.

Immediately all the tables in the database will be displayed. Please select wp-users. This is where the information for each user is stored.

Then click on Edit.

From now on the method involves a few simple steps. First, select the value corresponding to the administrator user. That is, the parameter you usually use to log in to the server. Then select the MD5 function as this is used by WordPress to generate the password. Then in the password field, select the new value in plain text. Finally, press the Go button to set the changes.

After this step, you will be able to login to WordPress with your new password. That’s it! Simple but very useful, right? I hope you can manage your local server more efficiently. Well, we finally saw how to reset your WordPress password on Localhost. Bye!

Prerequisites

As mentioned, this software is programmed in the PHP language. In addition, a web server is required. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will use the Apache server. Moreover, a very simple way to configure everything related to a web server is using Xamp. Additionally, you need PHP from 7.2.9 and also MySQL from 5.5.8. Don’t worry, this is all included with the installation of Xampp.

How to download MediaWiki.

The first thing you have to do is go to the download section of the MediaWiki project page. Once there, please download the latest stable version. At the time of publication of this post, it is version 1.34.2. Please note that this is a compressed file in .tar.gz format. Therefore, you can use a software like 7z or WinRar to decompress it.

After the download is completed, two steps are necessary. First, unzip the file and place it at the root of the website. That is, in the httdocs directory of the Xamp installation. Then assign the directory the name you want to appear on the website. For example, if you want the name wiki to be displayed, then rename the folder that way. Check out the screenshot below.

Now, with the web server running please open this address in your web browser: http://localhost/wiki. An image like the one shown below will be immediately displayed. Please click on set up wiki first.

Configuring MediaWiki

In the first place you set the language of the user and the wiki. Please press Continue

The wizard will then validate the prerequisites for the installation. Once the environment parameters have been checked, it is time to start the installation by clicking on Continue

Then it’s time to set up the database aspects. That is, the name, user and password. If this does not exist, then select the superuser account. Please leave the password field blank.

Then confirm the parameters to use the same account for the installation.

Now it’s time to name the wiki. In addition, you must configure the namespace of the project. Finally, set the wiki administrator credentials.With these settings, you are ready to start the MediaWiki installation. With this intention, select the option to start the installation

Finally, confirm the options to start the installation process.

After a few moments, the installation will be completed. Please click on Continue.

After the installation is completed, the wizard will generate the file LocalSettings.php. Also, the download will start automatically. If not, a link is provided to force the download.

After downloading the file, it is time to place it in the root of the installation. That is to say, in the directory where the file index.php

Finally, we are ready to enter the wiki of our website.

Conclusion

Ultimately we have seen how to install a wiki in Windows 10. As you can see, it is a simple process to carry out. Which will also allow you to add this functionality to your website. I hope you enjoyed this post. Bye!

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a CMS (content manager system) that is to say it is an application that allows you to create a blog of information. However, over time has evolved and not only provides services to create blogs but corporate websites or what you can imagine.

Thanks to WordPress and CMS, publish news and entries, do not require knowledge of HTML or PHP, but everything is visual.

So, if you want to have a personal blog or for educational purposes, WordPress is a pretty good solution.

Install WordPress with Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04

1.- Install LEMP on Ubuntu 20.04

WordPress is an application created with PHP. That is, we need a server like Apache or Nginx. In this post, we will choose the last one.

So, installing LEMP is the first step to do. You can read about it.

How to install LEMP on Ubuntu 20.04?

It is also important that you install these PHP modules:

php7.4-common php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-soap php7.4-gd php7.4-xml php7.4-intl php7.4-mysql php7.4-cli php7.4-ldap php7.4-zip php7.4-curl php-fpm

And now you can continue.

2.- Configuring MariaDB

WordPress requires a relational database manager like MariaDB. So the most convenient thing is to create a new database for WordPress.

So, access the MariaDB shell:

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p

Now create the new database:

> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;

Then create and assign permissions to a new user dedicated to WordPress. This will avoid working with the root user.

> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on wordpress.* TO 'wordpress_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpress_pss123';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Finally get out of MariaDB’s console.

> exit;

Now let’s continue.

3.- Downloading WordPress

Now we can get started with the WordPress download. To do this, we will do it from the /tmp/ folder and using the wget command.

:~$ cd /tmp/
:~$ wget -c https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
--2020-04-30 15:41:25-- https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Resolving wordpress.org (wordpress.org)… 198.143.164.252

2020-04-30 15:42:34 (178 KB/s) - ‘latest.tar.gz’ saved [12234700/12234700]

Once you have downloaded the file. Decompress it.

:~$ tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz

Then, move it to Nginx’s root directory, assign the correct permissions to the folder and make Nginx the owner of it.

:~$ sudo mv wordpress/ /var/www/html/
:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/wordpress/

Next, we need to make a new Nginx Server Block for WordPress. To do this, create a new file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ called wordpress.conf

:~$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/wordpress.conf

And add the following content:

server {
listen 80;
server_name blog.osradar.test;
root /var/www/html/wordpress;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ .php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
}
location ~ /files{
deny all;
}
}

Of course, replace “your-domain” with yours. Save the changes and close the file.

Next, restart Nginx to enable the new server Block.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart nginx

So, you need to complete the installation using the web interface.

4.- Install WordPress with Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04

Now it is necessary to complete the installation of WordPress and for that there is the installation wizard.

So, open a web browser and go to http://your-server and you will see the following screen.

Once you have chosen the language of your preference. Continue the installation.

On the next screen, you will be informed that some information is needed from your database.

Then, enter the credentials from the database we created earlier.

Then, start the installation.

If everything went well, you will have to enter the information of the website you are creating. As well as the creation of the administrator account.

In the end, you will see that everything has been a success and you can log in.

Then, you will see the Log in screen.

When you log in you will see the dashboard.

And that’s it. WordPress is installed correctly.

Conclusion

WordPress is a fairly popular CMS. Thanks to this application, you can create your website in a short time and without great knowledge of HTML. Also, in this post, you have seen that installing it is not too complicated for the great advantages it provides.

What is WordPress?

There are many blogs and information sites on the Internet. And many times we think “wow, that’s nice, how did they do that?” and immediately we think of the many skills you need to have to do something like that. This is partly true because there was a developer who created the theme you see, but it is also true that the creation of the site is probably done with a CMS. Within these CMS WordPress stands out as one of the best and most complete.

WordPress is a CMS (content manager system) that is to say it is an application that allows you to create a blog of information. However, over time has evolved and not only provides services to create blogs but corporate websites or what you can imagine.

Thanks to WordPress and CMS, publish news and entries, do not require knowledge of HTML or PHP, but everything is visual.

So, if you want to have a personal blog or for educational purposes, WordPress is a pretty good solution.

Install WordPress on Ubuntu 20.04

Install LAMP stack on Ubuntu 20.04

Since it is created with PHP, WordPress requires a web server that can interpret it as well as a relational database manager like MariaDB. So, we are talking about a LAMP stack.

How to install LAMP on Ubuntu 20.04?

It is also important to say that, WordPress also works with other web servers like Nginx or Lighttpd.

It also requires certain PHP modules like these:

Once you have completed this first part of the tutorial, you can continue.

libapache2-mod-php7.4 php7.4-common php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-soap php7.4-gd php7.4-xml php7.4-intl php7.4-mysql php7.4-cli php7.4-ldap php7.4-zip php7.4-curl

Install MariaDB on Ubuntu 20.04

Once MariaDB is successfully installed, a new database must be created for WordPress.

It is also important to create a new user who has permissions on that database. In this way, we will avoid working and using the root user. This would be an important security breach.

So, open the MariaDB console:

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p

And it creates the new database and the user along with their permissions:

> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on wordpress.* TO 'wordpress_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpress_pss123';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT;

Now MariaDB is ready for wordpress.

Download and install WordPress on Ubuntu 20.04

Now it is time to download WordPress. To do this, I recommend you do it from the tmp folder.

:~$ cd /tmp/

And using wget it performs the download:

:~$ wget -c https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Then, decompress the generated file and move it to the Apache root folder on Ubuntu 20.04.

:~$ tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz
:~$ sudo mv wordpress/ /var/www/html/

Then, assign the corresponding permissions as well as change the owner of the folder to www-data

:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/wordpress/

Now we have to make a new Virtualhost for WordPress.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf

And add the following content to set the rules that Apache will use with WordPress.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@your_domain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress
    ServerName blog.osradar.test

    <Directory /var/www/html/wordpress>
         Options FollowSymlinks
         AllowOverride All
         Require all granted
    </Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/your-domain.com_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Of course, change blog.osradar.test and your-domain for yours. It’s just an example. Then, save the changes and close the file.

To enable the new Virtualhost, run the following command:

:~$ sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/wordpress.conf

Then, enable Apache’s rewrite module.

:~$ sudo a2enmod rewrite

And to implement all these changes, all you have to do is restart Apache.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart apache2

Now, we have to complete the installation.

Install WordPress on Ubuntu 20.04

Then open your web browser and go to http://your-domain and you will see the following screen:

In it, you have to choose the installation language. WordPress supports many, so you should have no problem finding yours.

Then, configure the parameters of the database we have created.

If the installer manages to connect to the database, you will be informed that you are ready to start the installation.

Then, add information about your new site. As well as create the new WordPress Admin account.

In the end, if everything has gone well, you will be informed and then you can log in with your credentials.

Finally, you will see the WordPress dashboard and you can start the customization of your website.

Conclusion

For the creation of blogs there are several alternatives such as Blogger, however, it is not reckless to say that WordPress is the most popular and robust solution in its field.

This is because in WordPress you don’t need programming skills to build your website. On the other hand, it is open source which guarantees its growth and community support. It is also quite customizable and has extensive technical support.

In addition to WordPress, the creators of Blog choose Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to install all its content there, because it is a new and robust version of the most popular distribution in the world.

Let’s install WordPress 5.6 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

1. Upgrade the system

Before you start installing WordPress you must make sure that the system is up to date. With this you will have the latest security patches and the system will be more reliable and stable. To do this, run the following command.

:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

It is always advisable to do this periodically.

2. Install Apache web server

WordPress itself is a web application. Therefore, you need a web server that allows its execution. There are several very good ones like Ngnix or Apache web server. I will use the last one.

:~$ sudo apt install apache2

Now, enable and start the Apache web server service.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable apache2
:~$ sudo systemctl start apache2

The goal of this is to make apache boot when the system boots.

Now, open your web browser and go to http://IP_SERVER

If you see the image above, apache is correctly installed.

3. Install PHP

In this step, you have to install PHP. This in order to be able to run WordPress properly. In addition to the language, it is necessary to install some additional modules.

:~$ sudo apt install php7.2 libapache2-mod-php7.2 php7.2-common php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-soap php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-intl php7.2-mysql php7.2-cli php7.2 php7.2-ldap php7.2-zip php7.2-curl

Now it’s time to check that PHP is working.

Create a file called test.php on /var/www/html/ directory.

:~$ sudo nano /var/www/html/test.php

And add the following:

<?php
echo "PHP is working";
?>

Next, open the file through the web browser http://IP_SERVER/test.php

Finally, PHP is working fine.

4. Install MariaDB

WordPress requires for its operation the installation and configuration of a database manager application.

MariaDB is a great alternative for this since it is free and above all stable. It is also compatible with MySQL as it is a fork of MySQL.

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

Then, enable the service and start the service.

:~$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb
:~$ sudo systemctl start mariadb

Now, you need to configure a root key for MariaDB. You can also configure other things there. To do this, run the mysql_secure_installation script.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

As you can see, I said Y, N, Y, Y to the questions.

Once MariaDB is correctly installed and configured, it is necessary to create the database and the WordPress user.

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
USE wordpress;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wordpressuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpresspss';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;

Now, you can install WordPress.

5. Install WordPress

The time has come to install WordPress. First, download it.

:~$ cd /tmp
:~$ wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Now, decompress the file.

:~$ tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz

Then move the folder to /var/www/html. Next, change the folder owner and assign permissions.

:~$ sudo mv wordpress/ /var/www/html/
:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/wordpress/

Now, you can complete the installation from the web interface.

6. Completing the installation

Now, through the web interface, it is necessary to complete the installation. Go to http://IP_SERVER/wordpress and you will see the following.

In the next step, you will have to enter the information corresponding to the database.

Then you can continue with the installation.

Then, enter the information from your website or blog that you want to create. You also have to create the username and the password.

When you continue, you will get the screen to log in, with the admin user and the password you defined.

And finally, you will see the WordPress dashboard.

And that’s it. If you scroll down, you will see the current version.

Conclusion

If you want to create a blog or a personal web site, I think your first option to do so is WordPress, because its installation is not complicated, and because it is free. All this without losing robustness and power.

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a CMS (content manager system) that is to say it is an application that allows you to create a blog of information. However, over time has evolved and not only provides services to create blogs but corporate websites or what you can imagine.

Thanks to WordPress and CMS, publish news and entries, do not require knowledge of HTML or PHP, but everything is visual.

So, if you want to have a personal blog or for educational purposes, WordPress is a pretty good solution.

So, let us start.

Install WordPress with Lighttpd on Debian 10

Install Lighttpd on Debian 10

Obviously the first step is to install and run Lighttpd on Debian 10. But don’t worry, we have prepared a post for you so you can do it without any problems.

How to install Lighttpd on Debian 10?

Of course, additionally, you have to install some extra PHP modules to make WordPress work properly.

php7.3 php7.3-fpm php7.3-mysql php7.3-cli php7.3-curl php7.3-xml php-json php-zip php-mbstring php-gd php-intl php-cgi

Once you have installed them, it is now the turn of the database manager.

Create a new database and user for WordPress

Now it’s time to install a database manager. In this case, we will opt for MariaDB. First we install it with the following command:

:~$ sudo apt install mariadb-server

Then, once the installation is complete, the mysq_secure_installation script must be run to define a new key for the root user and other configurations.

:~$ sudo mysql_secure_installation

After defining the new password for the root user, you will have to answer a few questions.

Remove anonymous users? Y
Disallow root login remotely? Y
Remove test database and access to it? Y
Reload privilege tables now? Y

Now access the MariaDB console to create the database for WordPress and a new user.

:~$ sudo mysql -u root -p
> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on wordpress.* TO 'wordpress_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpress_pss123';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> EXIT;

That’s enough. Now let’s download WordPress.

Download WordPress on Debian 10

Now we can download and install WordPress. So let’s go for it.

Go to the /tmp folder and from there do the download using wget.

:~$ cd /tmp
:~$ wget -c https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Then, unzip it.

:~$ tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz

Then move it to /var/www/html/ and change the permissions of the folder as well as the owner of it.

:~$ sudo mv wordpress/ /var/www/html/
:~$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wordpress/
:~$ sudo chmod 755 -R /var/www/html/wordpress/

Now we will create a new virtual host in Lighttpd.

First, let’s rename the WordPress folder with the name of the virtual host you want. In this case I will choose wordpress.osradar.lan. Obviously you are free to choose yours.

:~$ sudo mv /var/www/html/wordpress/ /var/www/html/wordpress.osradar.lan

Then, create the folder dedicated to virtual hosts in Lighttpd.

:~$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/lighttpd/vhosts.d/

And add it to the main Lighttpd configuration file:

:~$ sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

include_shell "cat /etc/lighttpd/vhosts.d/*.conf"

Save the changes and close the file.

Now create the configuration file for the new Virtual host.

:~$ sudo nano /etc/lighttpd/vhosts.d/wordpress.osradar.lan.conf

Note how the file name equals the WordPress folder. This is for recommendation. Now add the following:

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|.)wordpress.osradar.lan$" {
server.document-root = "/var/www/html/wordpress.osradar.lan"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/wordpress.osradar.lan-error.log"
accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/wordpress.osradar.lan-access.log"
url.rewrite-final = ("^/(.*.php)" => "$0", "^/(.*)$" => "/index.php/$1" )
}

Save the changes and close the file.

Now, check the syntax.

:~$ sudo lighttpd -t -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Syntax OK

And restart Lighttpd.

:~$ sudo systemctl restart lighttpd

Now, complete the installation using the web interface.

Install WordPress with Lighttpd on Debian

Now, open your web browser and go complete the installation. Remember that the address depends on your virtual host and your server. You will see the following:

Now, type your database credentials.

Now, start the installation.

After that, configure the site information and the admin password.

If everything went well, you’ll see this screen:

Then you can log in with your username and password and you will see the dashboard.

So, that is it.

Conclusion

While it is true that WordPress is very popular, most installations are done with Apache or Nginx. Well, today we’ve shown you how to use it with another fast and lightweight web server like Lighttpd.
