Step 3: Enable the mysqli extension

Once you've installed PHP and the database, the mysqli extension should already be enabled by default. You can confirm this by checking the php.ini configuration.

  1. Open the php.ini file for editing:

    bash

    Copy

    sudo nano /etc/php/php.ini

  2. Search for the line:

    ini

    Copy

    ;extension=mysqli

  3. Uncomment the line by removing the semicolon (;):

    ini

    Copy

    extension=mysqli

  4. Save and exit the editor (Ctrl + O to save, Ctrl + X to exit).

To install WordPress on Linux using something like XAMPP (which provides Apache, MySQL, and PHP, all in one package), follow these steps:

1. Install XAMPP on Linux

XAMPP is an easy-to-install Apache distribution that includes MySQL, PHP, and Perl. Here's how to install it on Linux:

Step 1: Download XAMPP

  1. Visit the XAMPP download page.
  2. Choose the version of XAMPP for Linux and download the .run file (e.g., xampp-linux-x64-7.4.10-0-installer.run).

Step 2: Make the Installer Executable

Once you've downloaded the file, open a terminal and navigate to the folder where the installer was downloaded. Then, run the following command to make it executable:

bash

Copy

chmod +x xampp-linux-x64-<version>-installer.run

Replace <version> with the version number of the XAMPP installer you downloaded.

Step 3: Install XAMPP

Run the installer with sudo:

bash

Copy

sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-<version>-installer.run

Follow the on-screen instructions to install XAMPP. The default installation location will typically be /opt/lampp.

2. Start XAMPP

After installing XAMPP, you can start it by running:

bash

Copy

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

This will start the Apache server, MySQL database, and other necessary services.

To check if everything is running, you can open your browser and go to http://localhost. You should see the XAMPP dashboard.

3. Download and Install WordPress

Step 1: Download WordPress

Visit the official WordPress download page and download the latest version of WordPress.

Alternatively, you can download it using wget:

bash

Copy

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

Step 2: Extract WordPress

Once you've downloaded the WordPress archive, extract it:

bash

Copy

tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz

This will create a wordpress directory.

Step 3: Move WordPress to the XAMPP Web Directory

Move the wordpress directory to the XAMPP web server's root directory, typically /opt/lampp/htdocs:

bash

Copy

sudo mv wordpress /opt/lampp/htdocs/

Step 4: Set Permissions

To ensure that WordPress can write to certain directories (like the wp-content folder), you may need to set the correct file permissions:

bash

Copy

sudo chown -R daemon:daemon /opt/lampp/htdocs/wordpress

4. Create a MySQL Database for WordPress

WordPress needs a MySQL database to store its content.

Step 1: Access phpMyAdmin

Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser. phpMyAdmin is a web interface for managing MySQL databases.

Step 2: Create a New Database

  1. In phpMyAdmin, click on Databases at the top.
  2. Under "Create database," enter a name for your database (e.g., wordpress_db) and click Create.

5. Configure WordPress

Step 1: Open WordPress in Your Browser

Go to http://localhost/wordpress. You should see the WordPress setup page.

Step 2: Enter Database Information

On the setup page, you'll need to provide the following database information:

  • Database Name: The name of the database you created (e.g., wordpress_db).
  • Username: root (default MySQL username for XAMPP).
  • Password: Leave it empty (default MySQL password for XAMPP).
  • Database Host: localhost
  • Table Prefix: Leave it as wp_ (or change it if you want).

Click Submit after entering this information.

Step 3: Complete the Installation

Follow the remaining steps to finish the installation. You will need to provide information like:

  • Site Title
  • Admin Username
  • Admin Password
  • Admin Email

Once done, click Install WordPress.

6. Access Your WordPress Site

After the installation is complete, you can log in to the admin area by going to:

plaintext

Copy

http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin

Enter the username and password you set during the installation to access your WordPress dashboard.

7. Stop XAMPP When Done

When you're finished working with WordPress, you can stop XAMPP with the following command:

bash

Copy

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

Summary of Steps:

  1. Install XAMPP on Linux.
  2. Start XAMPP and access the XAMPP dashboard.
  3. Download and extract WordPress.
  4. Move WordPress to the XAMPP web directory (/opt/lampp/htdocs).
  5. Create a MySQL database for WordPress using phpMyAdmin.
  6. Configure WordPress by providing the database details during installation.
  7. Log in to WordPress and start building your site.

Creating a local static website with WordPress and uploading it to GitHub Pages involves a few steps. Since GitHub Pages only supports static content (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.), you’ll need to generate a static version of your WordPress site and then upload it to GitHub Pages.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create a WordPress Site Locally

To create your website locally, you can follow the steps I mentioned earlier for setting up WordPress with XAMPP. If you’ve already done that, proceed with the following steps.

  1. Install XAMPP on your local machine (Apache, MySQL, PHP).
  2. Download and Install WordPress.
  3. Set up WordPress with a theme, pages, posts, and any plugins you need.
  4. Customize the site to your liking (content, design, plugins, etc.).

Once your local WordPress site is ready and looks how you want it to, you can start exporting it as static content.

2. Generate Static HTML Files from WordPress

Since GitHub Pages only serves static files, you'll need to convert your dynamic WordPress site into static HTML files. There are a few ways to do this:

Option 1: Use a WordPress Plugin (e.g., Simply Static)

The easiest method is to use a WordPress plugin like Simply Static to generate static HTML files from your WordPress site.

Steps:

  1. Install the Simply Static plugin:

    • Go to your WordPress admin dashboard.
    • Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
    • Search for Simply Static, install, and activate it.

  2. Configure Simply Static:

    • After activation, go to Simply Static in the WordPress admin sidebar.
    • In the General Settings, set your export method (e.g., "Local Folder" to save the static files to your computer).
    • Choose other settings like excluding certain URLs if needed.

  3. Generate the static files:

    • Click Generate to create the static HTML files. The plugin will create a static version of your website, including all pages and media.
    • Once the process is complete, you’ll be able to download a ZIP file containing all the HTML, CSS, JS, and media files.

Option 2: Use a Website Scraper (e.g., HTTrack or Wget)

Alternatively, you can use tools like HTTrack or Wget to scrape your local WordPress site and generate static files.

  • HTTrack: This tool is available for Linux, Windows, and macOS, and it allows you to copy an entire website to your local machine.

  • Wget: This is a command-line tool that you can use to download the entire site and save it as static files.

Example with Wget:

bash

Copy

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent http://localhost/wordpress

This will download all the files from your local WordPress site.

3. Upload the Static Site to GitHub Pages

Once you have the static files (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.), you can upload them to GitHub Pages. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a GitHub Repository

  1. Go to GitHub and log in or create an account if you don’t have one.
  2. Click the + icon in the top right corner and select New repository.
  3. Name the repository (e.g., my-static-website).
  4. Make the repository public (required for GitHub Pages).
  5. Initialize the repository with a README (optional).

Step 2: Upload the Files to GitHub

You can upload the static files either through the GitHub web interface or via Git (command-line method).

  • Using the GitHub Web Interface:

    1. In your GitHub repository, click the Add file button and select Upload files.
    2. Drag and drop all the files you got from Simply Static (or your scraping tool) into the upload area.
    3. Once all files are uploaded, click Commit changes.

  • Using Git (Command Line):

    1. In your terminal, navigate to the folder containing the static files.

    2. Initialize the Git repository and add the files:

      bash

      Copy

      git init git add . git commit -m "Initial commit of static site"

    3. Add the remote repository:

      bash

      Copy

      git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/my-static-website.git

    4. Push the files to GitHub:

      bash

      Copy

      git push -u origin master

Step 3: Enable GitHub Pages

  1. In your GitHub repository, go to the Settings tab.

  2. Scroll down to the GitHub Pages section.

  3. Under Source, select main or master branch.

  4. GitHub will automatically generate a URL for your site, like:

    perl

    Copy

    https://your-username.github.io/my-static-website/

Step 4: Visit Your Site

Once GitHub Pages has been enabled, your static WordPress site will be available at the provided URL. You can access it via any browser.

4. Maintain Your Site

Whenever you update the content on your WordPress site (e.g., adding new pages or posts), you'll need to regenerate the static HTML files and upload them to GitHub Pages again.

Conclusion

To summarize, the process involves:

  1. Building your WordPress site locally using XAMPP or a similar tool.
  2. Generating static files using a plugin like Simply Static or a tool like HTTrack or Wget.
  3. Uploading the generated static files to GitHub using Git or the web interface.
  4. Enabling GitHub Pages for your repository to serve the site.

This approach allows you to use WordPress for content creation but serve the static version of the site via GitHub Pages. Let me know if you need more help with any part of the process!

Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system. dante@Archie ~/Downloads $ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system.

ChatGPT said:

It seems like you're encountering an issue where XAMPP is giving an error message related to 32-bit compatibility libraries. This happens because XAMPP for Linux is built as a 32-bit application, and on a 64-bit system like yours, you might need to install certain libraries to make it work.

Solution: Installing 32-bit Compatibility Libraries on Arch Linux

To resolve this, you need to install 32-bit compatibility libraries on your system. On Arch Linux, these are provided through the lib32 packages.

Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Enable Multilib Repository (if not already done)

Ensure the multilib repository is enabled in your system. This repository contains 32-bit libraries for 64-bit systems.

  1. Open the /etc/pacman.conf file in a text editor:
bash

Copy

`sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf`
  1. Find the [multilib] section and make sure it is not commented out (remove the # if it’s there). It should look like this:
ini

Copy

`[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`

  1. Save the file and close the text editor (Ctrl + X to exit, then press Y to confirm).

  2. Update your package list:

bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -Syu`

2. Install 32-bit Libraries

Now you need to install the 32-bit compatibility libraries required by XAMPP.

  1. Install the lib32 libraries:
bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -S lib32-glibc`
  1. Additionally, you might need to install other 32-bit libraries such as:
bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -S lib32-gtk2 lib32-libx11 lib32-alsa-lib`

3. Start XAMPP Again

Now that the necessary libraries are installed, try starting XAMPP again:

bash

Copy

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

This should now work without the 32-bit compatibility error.

Alternative: Using a Native 64-bit LAMP Stack

If you're still facing issues or prefer not to deal with compatibility layers, you could consider using a native LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) with 64-bit support. This would involve installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP directly on your system instead of using XAMPP.

  1. Install Apache:
bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -S apache`
  1. Install MySQL (or MariaDB as an alternative):
bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -S mariadb`
  1. Install PHP:
bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -S php php-apache php-mysqli`

  1. Configure Apache to work with PHP (you'll need to adjust the Apache configuration to work with PHP, but this can be done easily by modifying /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf).

  2. Start the Services:

bash

Copy

`sudo systemctl start httpd sudo systemctl enable httpd sudo systemctl start mariadb sudo systemctl enable mariadb`

This will give you a LAMP stack without needing 32-bit libraries. However, if you're comfortable with XAMPP, the first solution should work well for your case.

warning: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, line 30: directive 'Server' in section 'options' not recognized. error: target not found: lib32-gtk2 error: target not found: lib32-libx11 error: target not found: lib32-alsa-lib

ChatGPT said:

It seems you're running into some issues with the mirrorlist configuration and 32-bit library installation on your Arch system.

Let's break it down and address each issue:

1. Fixing the mirrorlist Warning

The warning you see:

pgsql

Copy

warning: config file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, line 30: directive 'Server' in section 'options' not recognized.

is related to a misconfiguration in your mirrorlist file. Specifically, there is an invalid directive (Server) in the [options] section.

To resolve this:

  1. Open the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file in a text editor:
bash

Copy

`sudo nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`
  1. Go to line 30 and check for the Server directive in the [options] section. Remove it if present. The [options] section should look like:
bash

Copy

`# The server entry must not contain any other entries. # See pacman.conf(5) for more information. # No need to configure mirrors here`
  1. Save and close the file (Ctrl + X, then press Y to confirm).

Now, run an update again:

bash

Copy

sudo pacman -Syu

2. Fixing the 32-bit Library Issue

It appears the lib32 packages are not found. On Arch Linux, the lib32 libraries are provided via the multilib repository. Here's how to address this issue:

Step 1: Enable the Multilib Repository

To ensure the multilib repository is enabled, follow these steps:

  1. Open the /etc/pacman.conf file:
bash

Copy

`sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf`
  1. Ensure that the multilib section is correctly enabled. It should look like this:
bash

Copy

`[multilib] Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`

  1. Save and exit the file (Ctrl + X, Y to confirm).

  2. Update the package database:

bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -Syy`

Step 2: Install 32-bit Libraries

Now you should be able to install the 32-bit libraries:

  1. Install 32-bit compatibility libraries:
bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -S lib32-glibc`
  1. Install other necessary libraries for XAMPP:
bash

Copy

`sudo pacman -S lib32-gtk2 lib32-libx11 lib32-alsa-lib`

If lib32-gtk2, lib32-libx11, and lib32-alsa-lib are still not available, try searching for them manually using:

bash

Copy

sudo pacman -Ss lib32

This will list all available 32-bit libraries in the repository. You may need to install a slightly different set of libraries depending on what is available.

3. Alternative Approach: Using a 64-bit LAMP Stack

If you continue facing issues with XAMPP and the compatibility libraries, I recommend considering using a 64-bit native LAMP stack instead, as described in my earlier message.

If you want to proceed with that, let me know, and I can guide you through setting up Apache, MySQL, and PHP on your Arch Linux system.

Let me know how it goes, and if you're still facing issues, I'll be happy to help further!

okaay that worked...how do i set up wordpress for local static website generaator

ChatGPT said:

Great to hear that the issue was resolved! Now, to set up WordPress as a local static website generator, you can use WordPress to create your website locally, and then export it as a static site. Here's how to do that step by step:

Step 1: Install WordPress Locally

Now that Apache and PHP are running, you can proceed with installing WordPress on your local server.

  1. Download WordPress: Download the latest WordPress version from WordPress.org.
Alternatively, you can download it directly using `wget`:

bash

Copy

`wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz`
  1. Extract WordPress: Extract the downloaded archive:
bash

Copy

`tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz`
  1. Move WordPress Files to Your Web Directory: Move the extracted files to your Apache server's document root (/srv/http or /var/www/html, depending on your setup):
bash

Copy

`sudo mv wordpress/* /srv/http/`

Or for `/var/www/html`:

bash

Copy

`sudo mv wordpress/* /var/www/html/`
  1. Set Permissions: Set the correct file permissions for the WordPress directory:
bash

Copy

`sudo chown -R apache:apache /srv/http/`

Or:

bash

Copy

`sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/`

Step 2: Set Up MySQL Database for WordPress

WordPress requires a MySQL database to store its content. You'll need to set up a MySQL database locally for WordPress.

  1. Start MySQL (if not already running):
bash

Copy

`sudo systemctl start mysqld`
  1. Create the WordPress Database:
Log in to MySQL:

bash

Copy

`sudo mysql -u root -p`

Create a new WordPress database and user:

sql

Copy

`CREATE DATABASE wordpress; CREATE USER 'wp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wp_user'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;`

Replace `'wp_user'` and `'password'` with your preferred username and password.

Step 3: Configure WordPress

  1. Visit the Local WordPress Installation:
In your browser, go to:

arduino

Copy

`http://localhost/`
  1. WordPress Setup:
- Select your language.
- Enter the database information (from the MySQL setup step):
    - **Database Name**: `wordpress`
    - **Username**: `wp_user`
    - **Password**: the password you set earlier
    - **Database Host**: `localhost`
- Complete the WordPress installation.

Step 4: Install and Configure Plugins to Generate Static Site

To convert your WordPress site into a static site (so it can be hosted on GitHub Pages or anywhere else), you'll need to use a plugin.

  1. Install Static Site Generator Plugin: One popular plugin for converting WordPress sites to static HTML is Simply Static.
- Go to **WordPress Admin Panel** → **Plugins** → **Add New**.
- Search for **Simply Static** and click **Install Now**.
- Activate the plugin.
  1. Configure Simply Static Plugin:
- Go to **Simply Static** settings from the WordPress Admin menu.
- Set the **Destination** folder (where the static files will be saved) to a directory like `/srv/http/static` (or your equivalent path).
- Choose the desired options for how you'd like the static site to be generated (you can configure the plugin to include or exclude certain content).
  1. Generate the Static Site:
- Once you've configured Simply Static, click **Generate** to create the static version of your site.
- The plugin will generate a static HTML version of your site in the directory you specified.

Step 5: Upload Static Site to GitHub Pages

  1. Create a GitHub Repository:
- Create a new repository on GitHub (e.g., `my-static-site`).
  1. Upload the Static Files:
- Navigate to the folder where your static site was generated.
    
- Initialize a new Git repository in that folder:
    
    bash
    
    Copy
    
    `cd /srv/http/static git init`
    
- Add your files to the repository:
    
    bash
    
    Copy
    
    `git add .`
    
- Commit the changes:
    
    bash
    
    Copy
    
    `git commit -m "Initial static site commit"`
    
- Link to your GitHub repository:
    
    bash
    
    Copy
    
    `git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/my-static-site.git`
    
- Push the files to GitHub:
    
    bash
    
    Copy
    
    `git push -u origin master`
  1. Enable GitHub Pages:
- Go to your GitHub repository settings.
- Under **GitHub Pages**, choose the `master` branch (or `main` if using newer naming conventions).
- Your static website will now be hosted at `https://yourusername.github.io/my-static-site`.

Step 6: Update Content and Re-generate Static Site

Whenever you make changes to your WordPress site, you'll need to regenerate the static site using Simply Static and push the changes to your GitHub repository.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create a local WordPress website, convert it into a static website using a plugin, and host it on GitHub Pages.

ChatGPT said:

Since you're aiming to build a static website using WordPress, you don't need to worry about the database setup. A static site means you don't have to rely on a backend like MySQL to store content — everything is converted into static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Skip the Database Setup

If you're using WordPress just to build the static site and don't intend to use dynamic features like post submissions, comments, or user logins, you can skip the database setup entirely. Here's how to proceed:

  1. Install WordPress Locally: You can still install WordPress locally for ease of use, but during the installation process, do not set up the database. You will use a plugin to convert the content into static files.

  2. Install WordPress Plugins to Generate a Static Site: Once WordPress is installed, you will generate a static version of your site using a plugin like Simply Static. This will create static HTML files of your WordPress site, and you won’t need a database.

How to Skip the Database During WordPress Installation

  1. Download and Extract WordPress: Follow the steps to download and extract WordPress on your local server (as mentioned before).

  2. Edit the wp-config.php: Open the wp-config.php file in the WordPress directory and configure it to skip the database connection:

- Open `wp-config.php`:
    
    bash
    
    Copy
    
    `sudo nano /srv/http/wp-config.php`
    
- Add the following lines to disable the database connection:
    
    php
    
    Copy
    
    `define('DB_NAME', 'none'); define('DB_USER', 'none'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'none'); define('DB_HOST', 'none');`
    

This tells WordPress to bypass database setup.

  1. Continue the Installation: After editing wp-config.php, visit the WordPress installation page (http://localhost/) and complete the setup. WordPress may show warnings about the database, but you can ignore them because you're not planning to use the database.

  2. Install Simply Static Plugin: Once WordPress is set up, install the Simply Static plugin to generate the static HTML files.

- Go to **Plugins → Add New**.
- Search for **Simply Static** and install it.
- Activate the plugin.
  1. Generate Static Files:
- After activating the plugin, go to **Simply Static → Settings**.
- Choose your settings and select the folder where the static files should be generated (e.g., `/srv/http/static`).
- Click **Generate** to create the static files.

Push to GitHub Pages

Once the static files are generated, you can upload them to GitHub Pages as described in the previous steps. The static files (HTML, CSS, and JS) will be what’s served on GitHub Pages, so you won't need a database.

Summary:

You do not need a MySQL database if you're generating a static website with WordPress. Just skip the database setup by editing the wp-config.php file to prevent WordPress from trying to connect to a database. Then, use a plugin like Simply Static to export your content into static files, which you can upload to GitHub Pages.

Let me know if you need further clarification!

ChatGPT said:

When you add the following lines to wp-config.php:

php

Copy

define('DB_NAME', 'none'); define('DB_USER', 'none'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'none'); define('DB_HOST', 'none');

WordPress will try to establish a database connection using the values provided. However, since those values aren't valid, WordPress will fail to connect to a database and display a page with a database connection error message.

How to Bypass the Database Setup

If you're trying to completely bypass the database setup because you're only interested in generating a static site and won't use dynamic WordPress features (like posts or user comments), you can do the following to avoid the database connection attempt altogether:

Solution: Disable the Database Connection Check

  1. Bypass the Database Check: The goal is to prevent WordPress from attempting any database interaction while you use it as a static website generator. To do that, follow these steps:

A. Modify the wp-config.php File

  1. Open the wp-config.php file in your WordPress installation:
bash

Copy

`sudo nano /srv/http/wp-config.php`
  1. In the wp-config.php file, find the section that defines the database connection. You can add a simple line to skip WordPress's database check.
**Add the following line to the top** of the file, just after the opening PHP tag:

php

Copy

`define('WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL', false);`

This tells WordPress to avoid trying to use MySQL at all.

B. Skip the Database Setup Completely

If you're still being prompted to "Set up the database" after this step, it means WordPress is still trying to use the database connection despite the WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL line. To completely bypass the setup page, follow these additional steps:

  1. Create an empty database (just so WordPress doesn’t complain about missing database tables):
- You can create an empty database (just so WordPress has something to refer to) using MySQL/MariaDB:
    
    bash
    
    Copy
    
    `sudo mysql -u root -p`
    
- Inside MySQL, create a database:
    
    sql
    
    Copy
    
    `CREATE DATABASE wordpress;`
    
    You don't need to create any tables or add any data; WordPress just needs the database to avoid errors.
  1. Edit wp-config.php Again:
- Modify the `wp-config.php` file so that WordPress doesn’t try to connect to it. Use this placeholder configuration:
    
    php
    
    Copy
    
    `define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');    // Placeholder database name define('DB_USER', 'root');         // Placeholder username define('DB_PASSWORD', '');         // No password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // Localhost`
    

This **should allow WordPress to continue** without attempting to interact with a real database or requiring a user setup process.

Conclusion

By editing wp-config.php with the WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL setting and creating a placeholder database, you allow WordPress to bypass the usual database setup process. WordPress will still run and allow you to use it to generate static content, but without the need for a working database.

i have successfully created the cocket at socket=/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ......how do i procedd from her to acces my wordpress site

ChatGPT said:

Great! Now that you've successfully configured the socket, let's proceed with the steps to access your WordPress site locally.

1. Check MariaDB/MySQL Connection

Now that the socket issue is resolved, first confirm that MariaDB is running properly and can be accessed.

Run the following command to check the MariaDB status:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl status mariadb

Then try to log into MariaDB (using mariadb instead of mysql):

bash

Copy

mariadb -u root

If successful, you should be able to see the MariaDB prompt.

2. Create a Database for WordPress (if needed)

If you haven't already created a database for WordPress, you can do so now. Once inside the MariaDB prompt, create a database and a user for WordPress.

sql

Copy

CREATE DATABASE wordpress; CREATE USER 'wp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wp_user'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;

Make sure to replace 'your_password' with a strong password.

3. Edit wp-config.php for Database Connection

Now, you'll need to edit the WordPress configuration file wp-config.php to point to the database you just created.

Open the wp-config.php file located in the root of your WordPress installation:

bash

Copy

nano /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config.php

Find and update these lines to match your MariaDB settings:

php

Copy

/** The name of the database for WordPress */ define( 'DB_NAME', 'wordpress' ); /** MySQL database username */ define( 'DB_USER', 'wp_user' ); /** MySQL database password */ define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'your_password' ); /** MySQL hostname */ define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );

4. Make Sure Apache and PHP Are Installed

Make sure that you have Apache and PHP installed to serve the WordPress site. Check if Apache is running:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl status apache2

If it’s not installed, you can install it with:

bash

Copy

sudo apt install apache2 php php-mysqli libapache2-mod-php

Additionally, make sure you have PHP extensions installed for WordPress (like mysqli, gd, and curl):

bash

Copy

sudo apt install php-mysqli php-gd php-curl php-xml php-mbstring

Restart Apache after installing:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl restart apache2

5. Place WordPress Files in Web Directory

If you haven't already done so, make sure the WordPress files are located in your web root directory (/var/www/html).

If they aren't there, move the files to the correct location:

bash

Copy

sudo mv /path/to/wordpress/* /var/www/html/

Ensure the correct file permissions:

bash

Copy

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

6. Access WordPress in Browser

At this point, your WordPress site should be accessible via your web browser.

  1. Open a web browser and go to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1.
  2. You should see the WordPress setup page.
  3. Follow the setup wizard to finish configuring WordPress, including providing the database details (DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_HOST) when prompted.

7. (Optional) Set up Apache Virtual Hosts

If you want to use a custom domain (like http://wordpress.local), you can configure Apache virtual hosts. Edit the Apache configuration:

bash

Copy

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

Add this configuration (adjust if needed):

apache

Copy

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName wordpress.local ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined </VirtualHost>

Enable the site and restart Apache:

bash

Copy

sudo a2ensite wordpress.local.conf sudo systemctl restart apache2

To make the domain work, you’ll need to add 127.0.0.1 wordpress.local to your /etc/hosts file:

bash

Copy

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add the line:

lua

Copy

127.0.0.1 wordpress.local

Now, you should be able to visit http://wordpress.local in your browser.

Conclusion

With these steps, you should have WordPress up and running locally without requiring the MySQL extension or a live database. The next step is to complete the WordPress installation by following the wizard to set up your site.

Got it! Since you're using /srv/http as the root directory for your web server, you'll need to adjust a few things accordingly. Let's go over the steps with this specific setup.

1. Update wp-config.php

Open your wp-config.php file in the WordPress installation directory (/srv/http/wordpress):

bash

Copy

sudo nano /srv/http/wordpress/wp-config.php

Make sure the database connection details in wp-config.php are set to:

php

Copy

/** The name of the database for WordPress */ define( 'DB_NAME', 'wordpress' ); /** MySQL database username */ define( 'DB_USER', 'wpuser' ); /** MySQL database password */ define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'password' ); /** MySQL hostname */ define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );

2. Make Sure WordPress Files Are in /srv/http

Ensure that your WordPress files are actually located in /srv/http. You can do this by checking the directory:

bash

Copy

ls /srv/http/wordpress

If the files are not there yet, move them to the correct directory:

bash

Copy

sudo mv /path/to/wordpress/* /srv/http/wordpress/

3. Set Correct Permissions for WordPress Directory

Make sure the correct permissions are set for your WordPress directory (/srv/http), so the web server can access and modify the files as needed. Run the following:

bash

Copy

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/http/wordpress sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/wordpress

4. Check Apache Configuration

You mentioned using /srv/http, so you need to ensure that Apache is correctly configured to serve files from /srv/http.

Edit Apache Configuration (If Required)

Check the Apache configuration file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf, depending on your system) and ensure the DocumentRoot is set to /srv/http:

bash

Copy

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

or

bash

Copy

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

Ensure that DocumentRoot points to /srv/http/wordpress:

apache

Copy

DocumentRoot /srv/http/wordpress

If you make any changes, restart Apache:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl restart apache2

5. Enable and Start Apache and MariaDB (if not already done)

To ensure Apache and MariaDB are running, use the following commands:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl start apache2 sudo systemctl start mariadb

Make sure they are enabled at boot:

bash

Copy

sudo systemctl enable apache2 sudo systemctl enable mariadb

6. Check Database Connection

To check if you can connect to the MariaDB database, try to log in to MariaDB as the root user:

bash

Copy

mariadb -u root

Then create the database and user if needed:

sql

Copy

CREATE DATABASE wordpress; CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wpuser'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;

7. Access WordPress in Browser

Finally, you should be able to access WordPress in your browser by visiting http://localhost/wordpress or http://127.0.0.1/wordpress. If you configured a custom domain like wordpress.local, use that.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to run WordPress locally from /srv/http and connect it to the MariaDB database. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out!

It looks like your WordPress files are correctly placed under /srv/http/, which is great!

Now that the WordPress files are in place, let's make sure everything is properly set up so you can access your site locally.

Steps to Follow Next:

  1. Check Apache Configuration:
- Make sure that your Apache configuration is pointing to `/srv/http` as the document root. You need to verify the Apache configuration as described earlier:

Edit the Apache config file:

bash

Copy

`sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`

Ensure the following line is set:

apache

Copy

`DocumentRoot "/srv/http"`

If it is already set, make sure to also adjust the `<Directory>` directive to match:

apache

Copy

`<Directory "/srv/http">     AllowOverride All     Require all granted </Directory>`

  1. Enable .htaccess: WordPress uses .htaccess files for things like permalinks, so you need to ensure that .htaccess files are allowed to override settings. If you added the line for AllowOverride All in the previous step, then it should be good to go.

  2. Restart Apache: After updating the Apache config file, restart Apache to apply the changes:

bash

Copy

`sudo systemctl restart apache2`
  1. Verify MySQL/MariaDB Connection: Ensure that your database is created and accessible. If you haven't already created the database, do so with these commands:
bash

Copy

`mariadb -u root`

Inside the MariaDB shell, create the database and user:

sql

Copy

`CREATE DATABASE wordpress; CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'wpuser'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;`

If the database and user are already created, you can skip this step.
  1. Check wp-config.php: Double-check your wp-config.php file to ensure the correct database credentials are there:
php

Copy

`/** The name of the database for WordPress */ define( 'DB_NAME', 'wordpress' );  /** MySQL database username */ define( 'DB_USER', 'wpuser' );  /** MySQL database password */ define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'password' );  /** MySQL hostname */ define( 'DB_HOST', 'localhost' );`
  1. Access WordPress in Browser: Open your web browser and visit:
arduino

Copy

`http://localhost/wordpress`

If you're not redirected to the WordPress installation page, it might be an issue with the `.htaccess` file. In that case, you can try clearing your browser cache or ensuring that `.htaccess` is configured correctly.

Final Check:

If everything is set up correctly, you should now see the WordPress setup page, where you can finish the installation process by selecting a language and setting up the admin account.

Let me know if you run into any issues during these steps!

It seems like you're encountering a 404 error, meaning that Apache can't find the requested WordPress page. Let's troubleshoot this step-by-step.

Things to Check:

  1. Verify WordPress Directory Location: Ensure your WordPress files are indeed in the /srv/http/ directory. From your previous output, it looks like they are, but let's confirm.
Run the following command to list the files in `/srv/http/`:

bash

Copy

`ls /srv/http/`

The list should include files like `index.php`, `wp-config.php`, `wp-content/`, etc. If they're missing, then WordPress might not be installed correctly in that directory.
  1. Check Apache Configuration: Double-check the Apache configuration to ensure the DocumentRoot is pointing to /srv/http/. Run:
bash

Copy

`sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`

Ensure the `DocumentRoot` is set correctly:

apache

Copy

`DocumentRoot "/srv/http"`

And the `<Directory>` directive should be:

apache

Copy

`<Directory "/srv/http">     AllowOverride All     Require all granted </Directory>`

After making any changes, restart Apache to apply the configuration:

bash

Copy

`sudo systemctl restart httpd`
  1. Check for Index File: Apache is looking for an index file by default (like index.php or index.html). Make sure that index.php exists in /srv/http/ and is not renamed or missing.
If you see `index.php` in `/srv/http/` already, this is good.
  1. Ensure .htaccess Exists and is Configured: WordPress uses .htaccess to handle things like pretty permalinks. Ensure that .htaccess is in place and properly configured.
If the file is missing, you can create it in the `/srv/http/` directory. Create a new file called `.htaccess` and add this content:

apache

Copy

`# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>     RewriteEngine On     RewriteBase /     RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d     RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress`

After that, restart Apache:

bash

Copy

`sudo systemctl restart httpd`
  1. Ensure Apache Has Proper Permissions: Ensure that Apache has permission to access the WordPress directory and files. You can adjust permissions with:
bash

Copy

`sudo chown -R apache:apache /srv/http/ sudo chmod -R 755 /srv/http/`
  1. Access WordPress: After following these steps, open your web browser and try accessing the WordPress site again by going to:
arduino

Copy

`http://localhost`

If You Still See the 404 Error:

  • Clear your browser cache and refresh the page.
  • Try accessing the WordPress site via http://localhost/wordpress if your WordPress files are within a subfolder like wordpress.

Let me know how this goes!
