Hello,

Although I install wordpress successfully on CentOS 6 but I still want to know easy ways or other ways to install WordPress completely on CentOS 6?

What are your ways?

Before you install WordPress, the server needs LEMP or LAMP installed.
Simple steps to install WordPress on CentOS

Download WordPress

Go to the folder containing the website content

Code:

cd /usr/share/nginx/html/

Code:

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

unzip

Code:

tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

Create WordPress MySQL Database and User

I searched and you can see your thread that asked How to create a MySQL database on my VPS on this forum.

Install WordPress

Create file wp-config.php from wp-config-sample.php

Code:

cp ./wordpress/wp-config-sample.php ./wordpress/wp-config.php

Edit the file

Code:

sudo nano ./wordpress/wp-config.php

Fill in the database, user, password in

Code:

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

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'wordpressuser');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

Save and exit.

Move all files in the folder wordpress out

Code:

mv -f ./wordpress/* ./

Change Ownership for WordPress folder

Code:

sudo chown nginx:nginx * -R

Now you can install WordPress then start the process till it done.

Good luck!

I have a question too, What the difference between LEMP and LAMP? which one is better? does WordPress only requires one of those? how to create the MySQL Database? can I copy the codes from here?
