Page 1 of 4

 

 

This is how i installed wordpress, i am using fedora 64bit with selinux enabled.
There is four stages to this guide and have tried to make it as simple as possible..
The reason for four stages is so that the guide can be used to install other software etc.. other than just wordpress.

1st Stage installing and setting up a basic file server


Lets install the software needed,  you will need to know your root password..

su -
yum -y install  php httpd system-config-httpd mod_ssl

 

Now we need enable the server and make it start up automatically when starting the computer.

su -
systemctl enable httpd.service
systemctl start httpd.service

 

Now lets see if worked, type http://localhost  into the address bar of firefox and you should see the apache test page.

Lets now get rid of the test page

su -
sed -i 's/^/#/' /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf
systemctl restart httpd.service

 

Now navigate again to http:/localhost and you should get something like below;

Congratulations thats the end of the first stage, see next below this >>  for stage 2 (mysql)
