Easy Wordpress is a shell script that easily sets up wordpress hosting environment on Ubuntu 12.04.

Easy Wordpress eliminates a lot of the up front setup:

• You don’t need to install/configure LEMP Stack(Linux,nginx,MySQL,PHP). :)
• If you have already installed LEMP Stack, then it directly installs Wordpress on it.
• In a few minutes you’ll be set up with a minimal, wordpress environment.
• You can easily remove Easy Wordpress Installation by running cleanup script.

Pre-requisites

1. This script requires non-root user account on your server with sudo privileges for its execution or it should be executed with root user.
2. This script requires sample_nginx_config file for its execution.

How to Set it up ?

git clone https://github.com/joshisumit/easy_wordpress.git

Execute script with:

bash easy_wordpress

Verify your wordpress installation

Once the script has completed successfully,just open example.com in your browser, famous wordpress installation wizard will greet you (e.g. example.com/wp-admin/install.php ).

Verify following steps:

1. Check your example.com configuration (nginx server block) - /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com
2. Check your example.com root directory - /usr/share/nginx/www/example.com/htdocs
3. Login to mysql database

Check for example.com_db :

show databases;

List all tables of example_db (i.e. tables starting with wp_) :

use example.com_db;
show tables;

Check example.com_db user(i.e. wordpuser) by runnning:

 SELECT User FROM mysql.user;
