One of the things you might be experiencing is the automated tools for fetching and installing core or plug-ins will probably not work on a private network. I've had that problem myself with WordPress and Drupal.
Heads up - if you build local and move to another domain WordPress will behave badly. You might want to read "Changing Your Domain Name and URLs" https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress .
You may have to look at your logs to find the errors you are experiencing. Also you can set PHP to display errors which will help. Then the best it gets, based on no plug-in support, is to google those errors.
Recommended setup : PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.6/MariaDB 10.0 or greater is recommended. https://codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_WordPress
If you are running a version of PHP and MySql that is prior to 5.6 that might be a problem as well.
Hope this helps. Keith On 2016-06-23 22:47, [email protected] wrote:
Keith, I am just starting out with Word Press, but have 33+ yeaers of UNIX experience. I am intentionally developing on a laptop to facilitate taking it places, and getting help. I don't even have the development plugins installed yet. I was able to get the WP basic installation installed OK but I was unable to install the IgnitionDeck plugins according to instructions. So, I installed Akismet while waiting for help from the support group. It installed just fine. I did some searching and used the same pattern to install the basic IgnitionDeck plugin. I then installed Wordfence, it installed fine, but crashed my WP development html page. I ended up commenting out the Wordfence lines in /etc/wordpress/htaccess. I am unable to do any upgrades, the window just sits there and gives me no response. The 2 remaining Ignition Deck plugins also fail to install according to instructions even when I use the manual method I used to install the IgnitionDeck base plugin. Is there any way we could get together? I will be happy to meet with you any time any where in the valley. Please let me know. Thanks You!
