I would suggest to analyze the problems you have with wordpress on httpd. Just a few thoughts (shot in the dark):
"unable to post content" -> write permissions? "crop images" -> do you have all the php libraries installed that wordpress needs? What is needed to crop images? gd? image-magick? check wordpress requirements. A good start is to see httpd's error log. Also see the output of phpinfo(). Installing linux to host wordpress will not magically solve problems ;-) On Fri, Mar 08, 2019 at 12:09:22PM +0000, [email protected] wrote: > I installed OpenBSD on my home server with the intention of running > Wordpress and some other things (maybe a TOR relay, I don't know). > After installing, I used some online guides to get PHP and MySQL as > well as httpd (not apache) set up.
