Day 45 Task: Deploy Wordpress website on AWS

Over 30% of all websites on the internet use WordPress as their content management system (CMS). It is most often used to run blogs, but it can also be used to run e-commerce sites, message boards, and many other popular things. This guide will show you how to set up a WordPress blog site.

Task-01

As WordPress requires a MySQL database to store its data, create an RDS as you did on Day 44**
Login to the Aws console and go to RDS to create a database.**

Name your database.

Created database.
Now create an instance for WordPress.

Now connect your instance and update the system then install MySQL
sudo apt install mysql-client
mysql -h <endpoint-name> -P <port-name> -u <username> -p

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

Check whether your database was created or not

To configure this WordPress site, you will create the following resources in AWS:

An Amazon EC2 instance to install and host the WordPress application.
Now install Apache on your EC2 instance for WordPress run.
use sudo apt-get install apache2

Check whether your instance ip apache web server is working or not.
An Amazon RDS for MySQL database to store your WordPress data.
Set up the server and post your new WordPress app.
Now Download and uncompress the software by using the below commands.
```
    wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz 
    tar -xzf latest.tar.gz
```
Now extract the tar file.
```
    tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz
```
Now change the directory and copy the default configuration file
```
    cd wordpress
    cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
```
Now edit the wp-config.php file
Open the wp-config.php file
- DB_NAME: your RDS database name
- DB_USER: The name of the user you created in the database in the previous steps
- DB_PASSWORD: The password for the user you created in the previous steps
- DB_HOST: The hostname of the database means your database endpoint

      vim wp-config.php

To configure the Authentication Unique Keys and Salts section in the WordPress wp-config.php file, you can replace the entire content in that section with the following content:

      define('AUTH_KEY',         'N[D)?+J-}Wx<c*jX$AuW!pz>2{M[>_YT- 7tY`aT3y;*F! _LeM}Kj[t4o2v3qMm');
      define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY',  '9+>M!va% jq|B|f>kc9saFwE-cS|9-4B$xGu+2pI&3yis%-zzka =TAxq]+.Q7Fp');
      define('LOGGED_IN_KEY',    '>s4a)kHXSc(~i|$/P}SgvJPBiFp+tET.xdaW4Y%3mR~#P6;GK B)oADegQK#u)gV');
      define('NONCE_KEY',        'W-3_,k/oZcX.Mg6![$epnW@r/@z*9B@P=p#=mSIF-R9Z9X.Q+2-[+%L`]qBOQ++h');
      define('AUTH_SALT',        '<UFNBNl<x:%EuS#K+p-__>[EtE-tea]xP6-i_wz$8[%uU>>ia2_]z)-`MA}i,T8q');
      define('SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'I`|%6X&* 0I-W%^^NlHN^{jg6`J;[^h))&?-R4&OfyF!U_^hh?P@+-:iqdgeI%AJ');
      define('LOGGED_IN_SALT',   'g96e[e61f|BG MUHkk~]Yoy%lyVHvS)5CAEjJ3]#^?ZB@~y2R<a/OM0d&ezwv.FN');
      define('NONCE_SALT',       ',FI>G~/$`NFqoAO?U~Lsw[Ko{ubrN&-]N$HT4s+U4<s0W(v9]f(bn1r_`OjV#LMH');

Deploy the WordPress site and install dependencies.

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

Copy the WordPress file to the Apache root directory.

      cd ..
      sudo cp -r wordpress/* /var/www/html/
      sudo systemctl restart apache2

      #Check your wordpress wedsite is working or not
