WordPress is a free open source software that was originally designed for the blog. Today, he has grown so powerful thanks to thousands of plug-ins that are circulating on the Internet.
For the bloggers who are always connected to the virtual world, there’s no longer need to buy expensive hosting servers. Simply use Ubuntu, enable LAMP! You can already blogging. No need to bother anymore because the data upload blog content can be copied and paste as well as ordinary file operations.
But, before we can enjoy this convenience, you first have to bother configuring Ubuntu. Here’s how:
1. Run Terminal and type:
sudo apt-get installed wordpress
2. Create a symbolic link Apache2 www folder into your installation folder and install the new MySQL database named localhost to use WordPress. Type the following command in Terminal:
sudo ln-s / usr / share / wordpress / var / www / wordpress
sudo bash / usr / share / doc / wordpress / examples / setup-mysql-n wordpress localhost
If you already have a host name for WordPress, do not use localhost, but use the host name. For example, if your blog is judgephil08.com website, type the command:
sudo bash / usr / share / doc / wordpress / examples / setup-mysql-n wordpress judgephil08.com
3. If you are accessing your WordPress server through a virtual host, create a virtual host configuration files in the folder / etc/apache2/sites-available. If so, create a symbolic link from the folder / etc/apache2/sites-enabled.
4. Restart apache2 with the command:
sudo / etc/init.d/apache2 restart
5. Now, install WordPress via a browser. Type the following address in your browser:
http://localhost/wordpress. Or, if you use a virtual host, simply type your website address.
