How To Install WordPress with LAMP on Fedora 40

To install WordPress on Fedora 40 with the LAMP stack, follow the steps below.

Step 1 : Install LAMP Stack

If you haven't installed LAMP yet, follow the instructions in the article "Fedora 40 Guides".

Step 2 : Tạo Database

- Log in to MySQL:

sudo mysql

- Create a new MySQL user and database:

CREATE USER 'wp_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
CREATE DATABASE wp_database;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wp_database.* TO 'wp_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 3 : Download and Install WordPress

- Create a directory for your WordPress installation:

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

- Navigate to the 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 files:

sudo mv wordpress/* .

- Adjust permissions:

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

- Delete the leftover directory:

sudo rm -rf wordpress latest.tar.gz

Step 4 : Create a virtual host configuration file:

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

- Add the following configuration:

<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>

Step 5 : Test Configuration and Restart Apache

- Test the configuration:

sudo apachectl configtest

- Restart Apache:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 6 : (Optional) If SELinux is enabled. Allow Apache to write to the WordPress directory:

sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io(/.*)?"
sudo restorecon -Rv /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io
