I need help installing WordPress on my new Amazon EC2 instance.
I created it and I have SSH and SFTP working through FileZilla (using PuTTY because I'm on Windows 10). I also have my Google domain name pointing to the IPv4 address as well.
How do I install WordPress on my site now? I don't want to install it initially when setting up the instance through the AWS marketplace with bitnami or whatever.
Please follow these steps to install the WordPress in AWS:
Log in to AWS using SSH.
Go to Root Folder (/var/www/html/).
Check whether wp cli is installed or not. If not, please install. The installation guide is here.
Create a folder in the name of the project.
Get into the folder (cd folder name).
Use command wp core download (it will install the latest version).
Use command wp core config --dbname=<dbname> --dbuser=<dbuser> --dbpass=<dbpassword> --dbhost=localhost (it will create wp-config.php file)
Use command wp db create (create database in named as previous command)
Use command wp core install --url=http://<yoursiteurl> --title=<Project Name>--admin_user=<adminuser> --admin_password=<adminpassword> --admin_email="<youremailid>"
It will install WordPress in AWS. We followed the same with successful installation many times. Please find the automated script at GitHub (https://github.com/trisghosh/wordpress-automated-script). Please use the automated one after you complete at least one manual installation.

I'm trying to use Django CMS for a website project. I've installed it from my virtual environment by entering the following command: pip install djangocms-installer
Things seemingly went well.
After that I created a new project on my desktop by typing: djangocms -p communimmo communimmo
It was created successfully.
The last lines in my command prompt showed:
Creating admin user
All done!
Get into "MyProjectPath" directory and type "python manage.py runserver" to start your project
But after running python manage.py runserver, the webpage on my local server asks me for Django Administration credentials. At no point during the installation I was asked to set up an admin user, so basically I'm stuck.
Did I miss a step somewhere?
Thanks!
Found it.

The installer creates an admin user for you, with username/password admin/admin.
Is it possible to download an Installatron tar.gz Wordpress backup onto a localhost WAMP server and get a copy of website running locally using this method?
You could use some backup plugin like duplicator to clone the site and install it anywhere.
I'm trying to manage my remote shared hosting WordPress installation via WP-CLI installed on my local Windows machine. So far I have managed to install WP-CLI (The "WP" command is available to run).
But when I try and connect to a remote URL with "wp --http", I get the following messsage:
RESTful WP-CLI needs to be installed. Try 'wp package install wp-cli/restful'
So I run the suggested command and I get:
Composer directory for packages couldn't be created.
I hadn't installed via composer. Instead, I manually instaled PHP and then downloaded the "wp-cli.phar" file. So I tried to install composer on Windows, but couldn't make head or tail of what downloads where. I "think" I managed to install wp-cli, but couldn't see where it had installed the files...and it just didn't work out.
Do you guys know of a more straightforward way to do this?
Concerning the error: Composer directory for packages couldn't be created.
If you did not set the environment variable WP_CLI_PACKAGES_DIR the default is ~/.wp-cli/packages/ which works for Linux but not for Windows.
I set this variable and the command 'wp package install wp-cli/restful' now successfully creates the directory for packages and the composer.json file but still doesn't install wp-cli/restful.
So I used composer directly and it successfully installs wp-cli/restful.
If I use the parameter --http=me.local.com (which matches example in the documentation) I get the error "Couldn't auto-discover WP REST API endpoint from me.local.com.' However, if I change this to --http=me.local.com/wp-json it works. The actual command I used is:
wp --http=me.local.com/wp-json rest post list
I would like to migrate a self-hosted wordpress site to Microsoft Azure. I've already done this migration job with Duplicator plugin from a server to another and everything worked well.
The problem with Ms Azure is that it uses a service called ClearDB to manage databases. (feel free to correct me if it's wrong) When you create a free account with this service you will get a restricted plan called Mercury which allows you to query your db (max dimension of 20MB) up to 3600 queries/hour.
But the migration process requires several operations on the database and the
As written in this blog the only option is to upgrade your plan to the 10$/month subscription.
I've found another way but the plugin the author uses in this link does not work for me.
Should I use another plugin to backup my WP content?
Do you have any advice?
Thanks
There are three solutions. I chose the first one.
Configure Mysql on a virtual machine and install Wordpress (classic way)
This can be done installing an already configured image with the Lamp packages on your Virtual Machine. Please see this link
If you want to set up it manually, follow these steps:
Create the vm (I used Ubuntu 14.04) then connect via SSH to your server.
ssh root#server_ip_address
Install Apache
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2
To check if Apache is installed, direct your browser to your server’s IP address. The page should display the words “It works!"
Install MySQL
sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql
During the installation, MySQL will ask you to set a root password. Once you have installed MySQL activate it with this command:
sudo mysql_install_db
Finish up by running the MySQL set up script:
sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
The prompt will ask you for your current root password.
Install PHP
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt
PHP also has a variety of useful libraries and modules that you can add onto your virtual machine. You can see the libraries that are available.
apt-cache search php5-
Decide which module you wish to install and type:
sudo apt-get install name_of_the_module
Although LAMP is installed, we can still take a look and see the components online by creating a quick php info page. Create a new file:
sudo nano /var/www/info.php
Add in the following line. Save and exit
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Finally restart apache
sudo service apache2 restart
and check the info page typing in your url
server_ip_address/info.php
Install mysql in a VM and create an Azure Website with a Wordpress image. Then link the mysql db on the virtual machine to the Wordpress site.
Upgrade ClearDB plan to the 10$/month subscription and specify the url of your remote db in wp-config.php
I'm new to WP and these were my steps:
I downloaded wp and I installed it (I also installed a pair of
plugins and a theme...).
I created a git repository in a remote host and i pushed
the wp project. In the remote host, I cloned the git repo to
/var/www/my_wp_project.
I request the url
http://my_remote_host/my_wp_project, but it asked me about installing wp
again...
Well after installed wp again, the theme is not the same
as in local...!
Can anyone give some advices?
