====== Wordpress Installation ======

This guide will explain how to get up and running with Wordpress on LiteSpeed Web Server.

===== Install PHP modules =====
The easiest way to install PHP for LiteSpeed is through our CentOS repository. If the LiteSpeed Repository was not installed and enabled during the web server installation, follow [[http://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php?id=litespeed_wiki:php:rpm | this guide]] to install and enable the LiteSpeed Repository.
===Step 1. Install PHP===
You can install some of the most commonly-used PHP 7.1 packages and modules for LiteSpeed. Use the following command:

<code>sudo yum install lsphp71 lsphp71-mysqlnd lsphp71-common lsphp71-gd lsphp71-pdo lsphp71-process lsphp71-mbstring lsphp71-mcrypt lsphp71-opcache lsphp71-bcmath lsphp71-xml lsphp71-soap lsphp71-json -y </code>
===Step 2. Setup PHP===
Visit ''<nowiki>http://your_server_IP:7080</nowiki>''. Navigate to **Server Configuration > External app**, then click the second icon **Edit** on the right hand side in order to edit this application.\\
Modify:
  * **Name**: lsphp -> ''lsphp71''
  * **Command**: $SERVER_ROOT/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 -> ''$SERVER_ROOT/lsphp71/bin/lsphp''
===Step 3. Restart LSWS===
When you are finished, click the **Save** icon to save your changes, then click the **Graceful Restart** button.
===Step 4. PHP Verification===
Visit ''<nowiki>http://your_server_IP/phpinfo.php</nowiki>'' and make sure **PHP Version** shows ''7.1.x''.


=====MariaDB Installation:=====
Install MariaDB:
<code>sudo yum install mariadb-server
sudo systemctl start mariadb</code>
Set new password: 
 <code>/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation</code>
Enter ''$yourpassword''
=====Create Wordpress DB Account =====
Create the Wordpress database and your Wordpress user/password:
<code> mysql -u root -p$yourmysqlpassword
 create database wordpress; grant all privileges on wordpress.* to wordpress@localhost identified by 'wordpress'; exit;</code> 
Note: For security purposes, you should use a Wordpress username and password that are different than our example.

===== Set Index File =====

An index file needs to be set in the LiteSpeed Web Admin Console. Navigate to **Virtual Hosts > Select Virtual Host from List >  General > Index Files**, click **Edit** in the top right corner, and enter **index.html,index.php** in the **Index Files** box.

===== Download and Extract Wordpress =====

To illustrate setting up Wordpress on a vhost we'll use the default virtual host, “Example”. You can download Wordpress from their official [[https://wordpress.org/download/|download page]]. 

Please note that the document root of 'Example' virtual host is **/usr/local/lsws/Example/http/**

<code>
unzip latest.zip
mv wordpress/* .
</code>
===== Wordpress Installation =====

Open the browser with URL ''http://server_IP:8088/''

==== wp-config.php file ====

Once you open the url in browser you will see this window:

As you can see, WordPress will ask all database related information on next step and will create ''wp-config.php'' file using this information. If for some reasons (mostly permissions issues) WordPress is not able to create this file, it will provide you with data which you can copy and manually create ''wp-config.php'' file inside your WordPress home.

==== Database Details ====

{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:wordpress-db.png?600 |}}

We've created the database above. Just enter the database details and click 'Submit'. If the WordPress installer is successfully able to connect to the database, it will start the installation process.

==== Run WordPress Install ====

{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:runinstall-wp.png?600 |}}

If everything works out great, just click 'Run the install' and WordPress will perform the installation.

==== Enter General Website details ====

{{ :litespeed_wiki:installation:wp-enter-details.png?600 |}}

WordPress will now ask you information regarding your blog/site, like whats the blog name, username you want to use and password, example configurations:

  * Site Title: litespeedtech
  * Username: litespeedtech
  * Password: litespeedtech
  * Your email: example@example.com

If you are satisfied with the details click 'Install WordPress'.

WordPress is now successfully installed, you can browse the home at http://server_IP:8088/ and wordpress admin at http://server_IP:8088/wp-admin
