Install & Setup WordPress ( localhost ) in Linux Mint 17 (Ubuntu) : Must See : Install LAMP Stack in Linux Mint 17 Using Tasksel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNpyEEW6No8 First Install LAMP and configure it on your system. To get started, log into the MySQL root (administrative) account by issuing this command: mysql -u root -p Enter this command to create the database: CREATE DATABASE wordpress; I am going to call the new account that I'm making wordpressuser and will assign it a password of password. You should definitely change the password for your installation and can name the user whatever you'd like. This is the command you need to create the user: CREATE USER wordpressuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; At this point, you have a database and a user account, each made specifically for WordPress. Let's fix that by granting our user account access to our database with this command: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO wordpressuser@localhost; Now the user has access to the database. We need to flush the privileges so that the current instance of MySQL knows about the recent privilege changes we've made: FLUSH PRIVILEGES; We're all set now. We can exit out of the MySQL prompt by typing: exit You should now be back to your regular command prompt. Next, we will download the actual WordPress files from the project's website. wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz We can extract the files to rebuild the WordPress directory we need by typing: tar xzvf latest.tar.gz This will create a directory called wordpress in your home directory. While we are downloading things, we should also get a few more packages that we need. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install php5-gd libssh2-php Begin by moving into the WordPress directory that you just unpacked: cd wordpress Next, Creating new config file . cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php Now that we have a configuration file to work with, let's open it in a text editor: sudo gedit wp-config.php Find and edit the settings for DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASSWORD in order for WordPress to correctly connect and authenticate to the database we created. Copy files to the Server's root : sudo rsync -avP ~/wordpress/ /var/www/html/ cd cd /var/www/html First, let's manually create the uploads directory beneath the wp-content directory at our document root. This will be the parent directory of our content: mkdir /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads Finally, Go to localhost in internet browser and install wordpress. ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ # Visit my blog for more updates - http://linuxforever.info/ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
