How To Install WordPress on CentOS 7

If you are looking to set up a website, WordPress is a popular choice for content management. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing WordPress on CentOS 7.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing WordPress, we need to make sure that the server has the required dependencies. Use the following command to install them:

yum install httpd mariadb mariadb-server php php-mysql php-gd php-xml php-mbstring

Step 2: Configure MariaDB

After installing MariaDB, we need to configure it for WordPress. Use the following command to start the MariaDB service:

systemctl start mariadb.service

Next, run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:

mysql_secure_installation

Enter a root password and follow the prompts to secure your installation.

Step 3: Configure Apache Web Server

Use the following command to start the Apache service:

systemctl start httpd.service

Next, create a new virtual host configuration file for your WordPress site:

nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf

Paste the following code into the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress/
    ServerName example.com
    ServerAlias www.example.com
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/wordpress-error-log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/wordpress-access-log common
</VirtualHost>

Replace example.com with your domain name.

Step 4: Install WordPress

Download the latest version of WordPress from the official website:

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

Extract the WordPress archive:

tar xvfz latest.tar.gz

Move the extracted WordPress files to the Apache document root:

mv wordpress/* /var/www/html/wordpress/

Set the correct permissions on the WordPress files:

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/wordpress/

Step 5: Configure WordPress

Visit your website in a web browser to begin the WordPress installation process. Follow the prompts to set up your WordPress site.

That's it! You have successfully installed WordPress on CentOS 7.
