Launch an EC2 instance

Create an AWS RDS

Please check the previous blog to create RDS

Setup the server and deploy WordPress

• Connect to instance via SSH.

  

• Install MySQL on the server and connect with the database.

    sudo apt install mysql-client
    mysql -h <Endpoint> -P <portno.> -u <Username> -p
  

  

  

• Create a database user for your WordPress application and give the user permission to access the WordPress database by using below commands.

    CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
    CREATE USER 'wordpress' IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpress-pass';
    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpress;
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    Exit
  

  

• Install apache2 on the server

    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt install -y apache2
    sudo systemctl restart apache2
  

  

  

• Check the public IP URL to view the Apache2 web page.

  

• Install WordPress on the server.

    wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz 
    tar -xzf latest.tar.gz
  

  

• Copy the sample config file and create a new wp-config.php file

  

• Edit the database configuration in the file and a set of unique keys needs to be provided to the config file also.

  

    define('AUTH_KEY', 'H&|6E`hwKfr{:%)c/VnnD`_juO2G-x5%ja|%aG^o6reM^5-82YAk$?-ScRV(l~*U');
    define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '+)PXuaoX4 ,!@P)w+b$th=dWerlvoo=|<hBM2-QK@+G<hE<!04/!H;8>Cq5;GPDl');
    define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'PCXFt:mB+i+jnQGP@m~fkgLaLrR%Q@J*>$M} tUj1U|k2;my])l1!M{E/sQ)(CCY');
    define('NONCE_KEY', 'h?t[<nk|:T?AWMJAQGxa`{%pEZ|rc}08zO9pOZl~V{3>XB~<q?ac$+_!%|+Cc<?)');
    define('AUTH_SALT', 't, E$7#wcey47lR=`_Yyi]u-E?.j%.MC_Hx0{iV+T[iBj[w)q!JD4Y?+:$_!a+|&');
    define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'uMDw+%k5dEY#|`&w!SoH@::~<@jCyG>yP=Rcv^`NN1,+)K:Buv+J-~Y}olc}`-tT');
    define('LOGGED_IN_SALT', 't+W]CZ684~.aOve+-,g2x&TI+q,QJ&5E}<q9x;sLx$+[t<+t9VC-ZMD7~8`%+@--');
    define('NONCE_SALT', 'DBr&#AO/#|tGwm|wv0L@X^|>7i #DiFc^gnq;uO +8v5az3lh8*/ u6yQ!1v^-jH');
  

  

• Install the dependency of the application on the server.

    sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql -y
  

  

• Copy the file contents from the WordPress folder to /var/www/html folder to configure the application with the Apache web server.

    sudo cp -r wordpress/* /var/www/html/
  

  

• Restart the Apache web server and Navigate to <public IP>/wp-admin/ to view the WordPress website.

    systemctl restart apache2
  

  

• We can create a user on the WordPress site.
