-===== Setup WordPress =====
-Note: The following styles are used in this guide:
-<WRAP cli>
-this typeface indicates a command to be entered in the terminal
-</WRAP>
-A \ indicates that a command continues on the next line. The following two commands are equivalents:
-<WRAP cli>
-sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
-</WRAP>
-<WRAP cli>
-sudo apt update && \
-sudo apt upgrade
-</WRAP>
-<file conf name of a file to be edited>
-and this is the contents of the file
-⋮ ← indicates sections of file not shown
-</file>
-==== 1. Create a database for the WordPress site. ====
-The first step we will take is to create a database that WordPress will use to store and maintain it’s data.
-At a terminal on the server issue the following command to launch the database management terminal with privileged access:
-<WRAP cli>
-sudo mariadb
-</WRAP>
-<WRAP info>
-Note: MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL. For this guide MariaDB and MySQL can be used interchangeably.
-</WRAP>
-To create the database use the following command:
-<WRAP cli>
-CREATE DATABASE wp_rick DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
-</WRAP>
-<WRAP info>
-Note: SQL commands end with a ;
-</WRAP>
-Next create a MariaDB user that will be used exclusively by WordPress. Use the following command:
-<WRAP cli>
-GRANT ALL ON wp_rick.* TO 'wp_rick_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'secretpassword';
-</WRAP>
-Now you have a database and user for WordPress’ exclusive use. The following command will reload the grant tables so the MariaDB knows about the changes.
-<WRAP cli>
-FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
-</WRAP>
-Exit out of MariaDB by typing:
-<WRAP cli>
-EXIT;
-</WRAP>
-==== 2. Download and Pre-Configure WordPress ====
-Download WordPress using wget from your home directory on the server.
-<WRAP cli>
-wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
-</WRAP>
-Extract the compressed file to create the WordPress directory structure:
-<WRAP cli>
-tar xzvf latest.tar.gz
-</WRAP>
-On your own computer, use filezilla to copy wp-config-sample.php to your local computer.
-Host: bethelministries.co
-Username: rick
-Password: YourSuperSecretPassword
-On your computer rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php.
-Open wp-config.php for editing.
-Modify the database connection settings. You need to adjust the database name, the database user, and the associated password that you’ve configured within MariaDB.
-<file php wp-config.php (Partial File – Database section)>
-⋮
-define('DB_NAME', 'wp_rick');
-/** MySQL database username */
-define('DB_USER', 'wp_rick_user');
-/** MySQL database password */
-define('DB_PASSWORD', 'supersecretpassword');
-⋮
-</file>
-Use your browser on your computer to navigate to https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
-copy the results into wp-config.php, replacing the define statements under Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.

-Save and close the file when you are finished.
-Copy the file from your computer back onto the server with Filezilla.
-==== 3. Prepare the virtualhost document root Directory ====
-Back at the server, copy the entire pre-configured wordpress folder from your home directory on the server to your virtualhost document root. The source includes a dot at the end to indicate that everything in the directory should be copied, including hidden files.
-sudo cp -a ./wordpress/. /var/www/rickandsarah.us
-Now that WordPress is located in it’s final location we need to set the ownership and permissions for the files and folders.
-Apache2 runs as www-data, so set the ownership to that user and group. This allows Apache2 to serve the files and update them when it needs to.
-sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/rickandsarah.us
-Change the permissions of the files and folders under /var/www/rickandsarah.us.
-We can use find to create a list of files or folders and chmod to apply the permissions.
-sudo find /var/www/rickandsarah.us/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
-sudo find /var/www/rickandsarah.us/ -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
-==== 4. Complete the Installation Through the Web Interface ====
-Finally, you can finish installing and configuring WordPress by accessing it through the web interface.
-In your web browser, navigate to your server’s domain name or public IP address:
-http://rickandsarah.us
-Select the language you would like to use:
-Next, you will come to the main setup page. Select a name for your WordPress site and choose a username and password. A strong password is generated automatically. Save this password or select an alternative strong password.
-Enter your email address and select whether you want to discourage search engines from indexing your site:
-When ready, click the Install WordPress button. You’ll be taken to a page that prompts you to log in:
-Once you log in, you will be taken to the WordPress administration dashboard:
-From the dashboard, you can begin making changes to your site’s theme and publishing content.
-==== Conclusion ====
-WordPress is now installed and ready to use. Some things you might want to consider:
-    • Go over the settings and verify they are set to what you want.
-        ◦ In Discussion, you might want to specify that a user must be registered and logged in in order to comment.
-        ◦ Under Reading you can set what to show on the home page.
-        ◦ Configure Permalinks (the persistent path part of the url).
-        ◦ Setup a privacy page explaining your privacy policies.
