Hello guys,

Im demmy , i want to show you peeps a quick installation of wordpress on linux , for you programming geeks that like to use

LAMP like me , for more stuffs you can always check my blog http://overallheuristic.com/blog/, that all said lets jump into it



FIRST DOWNLOAD THE LASTEST WORDPRESS

# navigated to my desktop

$ cd Desktop

$ wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip

$ sudo unzip latest.zip

$ sudo chmod 777 -R wordpress

AFTER UNZIPPING THE FOLDER , YOU CAN RENAME IT BEFORE

PUTTING IT IN YOUR LOCAL SERVER, BECAUSE CONSEQUENT DOWNLOADS WILL HAVE THE

SAME NAME.

In my case I changed the name of the folder from wordpress to fitness

NAVIGATE TO LOCAL SERVER
# cd /var/www/html

# /var/www/html$ sudo mv /home/rootdir/Desktop/fitness .

Ensure that apache have access to wordpress installation files. If this is your local system make sure that www-data owns of all files:
#$ sudo chown -R www-data.www-data fitness

CREATE DATABASE

mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE fitness;

CREATE WP-CONFIG.PHP FILE
# cd /var/www/html/fitness

# cd /var/www/html/fitness ls -lah

# cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

EDIT YOUR DATABASE CREDENTIALS IN wp-config.php

navigate to localhost/fitness
