Setting up wordpress using LAMP

First of all i downloaded 32 bit desktop and server ubuntu images to install in the virtual machine. the link is http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download

This will act as a client and server.

Then we set up a LAMP server which consists of Linux,Apache,MySQL and PHP. This is where the word lamp comes from.
We then had to install  our own version of WordPress on our machines and really had to think about what to do when things didnt go our way..

 

Some commands used were:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade  –servershow-upgraded

tasksel

nano var/www/info.php

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

save and exit

 

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

http://localhost (ip address)/info.php

apt-get install phpmyadmin

apt-get install wordpress

ls /usr/share

mv /usr/share/wordpress  /var/www

mysql -u root –p

 *create database and user

nano /var/www/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php

 

Change database_name_here to wordpress.

Save ...../var/www/wordpress/wp-config.php.
