How To Install WordPress with LAMP on Fedora 39

To install WordPress on Fedora 39 with a LAMP stack, follow the steps below.

Step 1 : Install LAMP Stack

If you haven't installed the LAMP stack yet, refer to the Fedora 39 Guides for detailed instructions. Fedora 39 Guides

Step 2 : SELinux Configuration (Optional)

Fedora typically has SELinux enabled by default. You can refer to the SELinux configuration guide in the Fedora 39 Guides for further information. In this case, for simplicity, we'll temporarily disable SELinux by running the command:

setenforce 0

Step 3 : Create Database

- Log in to your MySQL server.

sudo mysql

- Create a MySQL User

CREATE USER 'wp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';

Replace 'wp_user' with your desired username and 'your_password' with a strong password.

- Create a Database

CREATE DATABASE wp_database;

- Grant Privileges to the User

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wp_database.* TO 'wp_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

- Exit MySQL

EXIT;

Step 4 : Download and Install WordPress

- Create a directory for your WordPress installation:

sudo mkdir /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io

- Change to the newly created directory:

cd /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io

- Download WordPress:

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

- Extract the downloaded file:

sudo tar -zxvf latest.tar.gz

- Move WordPress files to the current directory:

sudo mv wordpress/* .

Step 5 : Set the correct permissions:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io

Step 6 : Create a virtual host configuration file for Apache:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/example.devtutorial.io.conf

- Add the following configuration to the file, adjusting as necessary:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@devtutorial.io
    ServerName example.devtutorial.io
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example.devtutorial.io_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example.devtutorial.io_access.log combined

    <Directory /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io>
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
