Pre-Setup:

I am assuming that you have

• Configured the yum client and EPEL repository on the machine.

• Hostname

• Proper Network Internet connection for package installation

1. Install Apache Web Server

• httpd packages for the web-server

# yum install -y httpd

• Restart the httpd.service and enable it

# systemctl enable --now httpd

• Add http & https package in the firewall & reload the firewall service

# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp
# firewall-cmd --permannet --add-port=443/tcp
# firewall-cmd --reload
# firewall-cmd --list-all

• check the selinux label object_r:httpd_sys_content_t on /var/www/html/

# ls -lZ /var/www/html
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0      405 Feb  6  2020 index.html

• Check the HTTP web server page on the browser

Congratulations!

your apache web server is working perfectly. Let's Move further for MySQL + WordPress configuration.

1. Install MariaDB/MySQL and WordPress

• For this first, we have to set setup the "REMI" repository client on the yum repository for PHP packages.

# cat /etc/os-release

[root@mh1 conf]# cat /etc/os-release


NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
VERSION="9.1 (Plow)"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="9.1"

• Setup REMI repository for RHEL 9.1

# dnf install https://repo.extreme-ix.org/remi/enterprise/remi-release-9.rpm
# yum repolist all

• Install PHP packages (php, php-mysqlnd, php-pdo, php-gd, php-mbstring)

# yum install php php-mysqlnd php-pdo php-gd php-mbstring

• Install MySQL/MariaDB & Restart the service

# yum install -y mariadb-server mariadb
# yum enable --now mariadb.service

• Fresh configure your MariaDB

#  mariadb-secure-installation

• Get into MariaDB using new login

# mysql -u root -p
password:

Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 13
Server version: 10.5.22-MariaDB MariaDB Server

Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.

MariaDB [(none)]>

# vim ~/.my.cnf
[clients]
username=root
password=password

:wq!

Now you don't need to use -u & -p option to work with the MariaDB database.

# mysql

• Create a new database, user and grant permission on the database.

# mysql

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';     
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILIGES;

1. Install WordPress and configuration

• Go to wordpress.org and download the latest WordPress suit package using wget.

# cd /var/www/html/
# wget https://wordpress.org/latest.zip
# unzip latest.zip
# rm -rf latest.zip

• Configure /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php or wp-config.php configuration file

# vim /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php


// ** Database settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( 'DB_NAME', 'wordpress' );

/** Database username */
define( 'DB_USER', 'admin' );

/** Database password */
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'password' );

/** Database hostname */
define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );

• Open /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file for above configuration.

# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Listen 80
User apache
Group apache
ServerAdmin admin@localhost
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/wordpress"

• Change user:group ownership to apache user on DocumentRoot directory

# chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/wordpress
# ls -lZ /var/www/html/wordpress

[root@mh1 conf]# ls -lZ /var/www/html/wordpress/
total 228
-rw-r--r--.  1 apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0      405 Feb  6  2020 filename.extention

• Restart the httpd.service, mariadb.service one more time to update with new changes.

# systemctl restart httpd.service  mariadb.service
# systemctl enable httpd.service mariadb.service

• Open your browser and paste this address: http://machine-ip .

• Fill your information and login WordPress Page.

  

Lots of Congratulations!
