2. You can adhere to these general procedures to install WordPress on CentOS, Red Hat, or Fedora:
( 1 ) System package updates:
For a start, make sure your system packages are updated so you have the most recent dependencies and updates:
[root@server ~]# yum update
( 2 ) Apache Web Server install
WordPress needs a web server to run, and Apache is a common option. Use the command line interface to install Apache:
[root@server ~]# yum install httpd -y
( 3 ) Activate Apache and start it:
Start the service and make Apache boot up automatically after installation.
[root@server ~]# systemctl start httpd
[root@server ~]# systemctl enable httpd
( 4 ) MariaDB (or MySQL) install :
MariaDB is a good option for WordPress’ requirement for a database server. Use the subsequent command to install MariaDB:
yum install mariadb-server mariadb
( 5 ) Start MariaDB and make it active:
Start the service and make it such that MariaDB starts automatically when the system boots after installing it.
systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb
3. MariaDB Secure installation on RHE
( How to install MariaDB and use MariaDB redhat )
To configure the MariaDB root password and increase security, run the security script:
mysql_secure_installation
( 1 ) MariaDB, just like MySQL is the default. secure Therefore, you must take another step and run the mysql_secure_installation script.
You are guided through a series of prompts by the Running command. You will need to create a root password first. The default root user unix socket authentication in MariaDB is insufficiently secure.
So, decline from using the Unix socket authentication by pressing ” n ” and hitting
mysql_secure_installation
Enter current password for root (enter for none): [Press Enter]
Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody
can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.
Your root account is protected, so you can safely answer ‘n’.
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] [Press ” n ” Enter ]
Change the root password? [Y/n] [ Press ” y ” Enter ]
New password: [ highsky@123 ]
Re-enter new password: Re-enter password [ highsky@123 ]
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables.
… Success!
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] [ Press ” y ” Enter ]
.. Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from ‘localhost’. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] [ Press ” y ” Enter ]
… Success!
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named ‘test’ that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] [ Press ” y ” Enter ]
– Dropping test database…
… Success!
– Removing privileges on test database…
… Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] [ press ” y ” Enter ]
… Success!
Cleaning up…
All done! If you’ve completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure
