Password:
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wordpress; 
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO "wpuser"@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "afnog";
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

2.1 Configure Apache to host the wordpress site. Create an Apache Config file for wordpress with .conf extension in the /etc/apache2 sites-available folder
Paste the details below

	$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress.conf


 <VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName pcXX.sse.ws.afnog.org
        DocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress/
        DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wp-error.log
        TransferLog /var/log/apache2/wp-access.log

        # wp-content in /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content
        Alias /wp-content /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content

        <Directory /usr/share/wordpress>
            Options FollowSymLinks
            <IfVersion < 2.3>
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
            </IfVersion>
            <IfVersion >= 2.3>
                Require all granted
            </IfVersion>
        </Directory>
        <Directory /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content>
            Options FollowSymLinks
            <IfVersion < 2.3>
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
            </IfVersion>
            <IfVersion >= 2.3>
                Require all granted
            </IfVersion>
        </Directory>
        </VirtualHost>


2.2 Create the wordpress config for the fully qualified domain name:

	$ cd /etc/wordpress/
	$ sudo nano config-pcXX.sse.ws.afnog.org.php 

2.2.1 Edit the config-pcXX.sse.ws.afnog.org.php with the database name, username and passwords 
created above so that it looks like so:

<?php
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'wpuser');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'afnog');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', '/var/lib/wordpress/wp-content');
?>                 


Save the configuration file .

2.2.2 Enable the site on Apache and restart apache

$ sudo a2ensite wordpress

$ sudo service apache2 restart

Point your browser to your WordPress virtual host 

http://pcXX.sse.ws.afnog.org/

Complete the setup as instructed on the page then:

Happy blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.3 To browse it on HTTPS, add the following to the top of the default-ssl.conf file:

	$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/wordpress-ssl.conf

Add the following lines;


<VirtualHost *:443>
	
	ServerName pcXX.sse.ws.afnog.org
	ServerAdmin webmaster@pcXX.sse.ws.afnog.org
	DocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress
	DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
	
	<Directory "/usr/share/wordpress">
        	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        	AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
        	Order allow,deny
        	Allow from all
	<Directory>
	SSLEngine on
	SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
	SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
	<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
    	SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
	</FilesMatch>
       	<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
    	SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
	</Directory>
	BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \
         nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
         downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wordpress-s.err-error.log
	TransferLog /var/log/apache2/wordpress-s.tx-access.log
	</VirtualHost>
	
Save, exit the file

2.3.1 We need to disable the default-ssl site because SSL works on a per IP basis. Then enable the wordpress-ssl site and restart apache

	$ sudo a2dissite default-ssl
	
	$ sudo a2ensite wordpress-ssl

	$ sudo service apache2 restart

Point your browser to your WordPress virtual host
